This article explains how Global Payroll clients can pay their direct employees after a payroll report has been approved.

If the payroll report hasn't been sent to Deel yet, please see How to Submit a Global Payroll Report.

After approving the payroll package, there are two ways to ensure direct employees are paid: Payment by Deel or Payment by Client. 

Payment by Deel

✅ Step 1 – Select the Payroll tab and click an entity with "Awaiting Funding" status

If Deel is paying employees on the client's behalf, we will issue a funding request for the total amount due.

✅ Step 2 – Select the Payment tab and click Pay Funding

Choose a payment method and follow the instructions.

The Awaiting Funding next to the entity name will change to Done

Payment by "You" (The Client) 

If the client is paying their employees directly with a local payment processor, we will provide them with a .csv file and all necessary payment details.

✅ Step 1 – Select the Payroll tab and click an entity with "Awaiting Payments" status

✅ Step 2 – Select the Payment tab and and complete payment

Complete the payment from the bank and check that the payment has finished processing.

Once we publish the payslips, Deel will automatically mark cycle as paid and close. 

Clients can also download the .csv file if they wish.

The orange awaiting payment next to the entity name will change to Done

Congratulations, payroll for direct employees has been processed!
