Payment & Payslips
How can I access payslips?
You will be able to view payslips as part of the payroll package, and payslips will be displayed for each respective cycle.
If you are using an HRIS integration, such as BambooHR or Hibob, we will push payslips directly to the HRIS so that your employees can have access.
If your business is not using an HRIS integration, Global Payroll employees will log on to Deel and access their payslips there.
If I’m funding Global Payroll via Deel, can I make payments to my EOR Employees or Contractors at the same time?
The funding flow for Global Payroll is separate from any mass payments you send to your EOR Employees or contractors. So you will have to complete the payroll process twice.
How do you handle exchange rates for Global Payroll?
Deel makes it possible for you to fund payroll in your local currency and pay your employees in their local currency.
Learn more about how Deel handles exchange rates.
Can I use a mix of payment options?
Yes, you can. In many cases, this will be necessary since Deel won’t be able to process your payroll on your behalf across all countries, due to local compliance regulations. You can pay some employees through Deel, and some directly.
Payroll
Can I set up recurring items on the payroll report?
Yes, you can set up recurring Benefits and Deduction items. You first need to update payroll items by selecting the Organization Setting tab on your home page and selecting the entity. Then select Global Payroll>Edit Payroll report to make changes.
Then select the Global Payroll tab and click Review and Submit. Choose an employee and click Edit Recurring Items, and you can toggle on the recurring button.
Once enabled you can update the values via bulk edit, if you need.
If you wish to add more recurring items, please contact us and our team can assist you!
Can I choose my own payroll schedule?
Clients have a lot of flexibility in setting up their payroll cycles. This can be finalized during the onboarding process, subject to Deel’s approval.
How is holiday pay processed?
The laws concerning holiday pay vary by country. Different regions have different requirements about holiday pay accrual and payment options.
Deel will process the statutory minimum holiday pay payments for your location.
If you want to offer more than the mandatory minimum, please reach out to your Deel contact so it is added to the Employee Agreement. In this case, if a direct employee is accruing more holiday days than the mandatory minimum, it will result in a higher payout for holiday time.
Integrations
What HRIS integrations do you support?
We currently support BambooHR, Hibob, and Workday for Global Payroll employees.
Benefits
Do I have to use Deel’s existing benefit providers?
No, you can choose your own providers and can continue offering their employees the same packages they currently receive.
However, we can introduce you to our extensive partner network for any additional benefit or compliance requirements.
Deel takes care of enrolling employees in the mandatory benefits for that country; however, any benefits above the statutory minimum should be taken care of by the client. This can include optional private healthcare, and more.
We will account for any adjustments and deductions within the payroll cycle.
Can I offer equity or stock options to my employees under Global Payroll?
Yes.
You can use this alongside an existing equity granting platform (such as Carta) that actually grants the stock options, while Deel can be used to track who has been granted stock and over what time period.
Can I give employees bonuses or commissions under Global Payroll?
Yes. Bonuses and commissions can be added by adjusting payment amounts during the payroll review process.
See our article on submitting a payroll report for details on adding bonuses and adjusting pay. Please note that bonuses and other changes to pay must be submitted before the payroll cut-off date.
Taxes
Do I have to calculate taxes separately?
No, Deel will handle all payments for required taxes to the relevant authorities.
Deel calculates tax contributions for both employee and employer based on local laws and regulations.Additionally, we register and de-register the employment with the government on your behalf, where required.
Year Closing and Adjustments are available as additional reports, for a separate fee.
Please note, we do not do personal tax filings or personal tax returns.
What kinds of end-of-year documents does Deel provide?
Deel provides all mandatory end-of-year documents for taxation. For example, W2 forms in the United States ; T4 forms in Canada ; P45s in the UK ; etc.
Liability
What if there is a payroll error?
If there are miscalculations and incorrect payments, Deel will assume liability.
Terminations
How do I start the termination process for a Global Payroll employee?
You can trigger a Direct Employee termination in your integrated HRIS system (if available), and this will sync over to Deel.
If you don't have an HRIS integration set up, please reach out to your Deel contact and we can initiate the termination process.
How do we handle severance?
Deel will automatically handle statutory minimum requirements around severance pay for the country. We can accommodate if you wish to offer additional severance to an employee following termination.
Migration from EOR to GP Employee
Will my employees lose previous payslips and documents in the EOR to Global Payroll switch?
No. Deel has created a special tab that allows employees to switch between an old Full-Time Employee (EOR) profile and a new Global Payroll profil.
Employees can click on their avatar from their Dashboard, and select their account type - Direct Employee (for Global Payroll), or EOR Employee.
