Your client administrator should alert you if the company is using Expensify to track and approve expenses.

If your Deel profile has been matched to an Expensify profile, then you will be prompted to log your expenses in Expensify. If your profile is unmatched, you will be prompted to add an alternate email address to your Deel profile.

Sync errors can arise from large file sizes or other matching errors. You will be alerted both by email and a notification on your Deel Dashboard when there's a sync error with your expenses.

You can review your errors in the app and see what steps you can take to resolve them.

For an expense to be synched, your profile in Expensify must be matched to your profile in Deel.

Only approved expenses are synched from Expensify to Deel.

Deel does not back-sync expenses. This means that any expenses submitted and approved in Expensify prior to your profile being matched to Deel will not sync. Please delete and resubmit these expenses in Expensify.

Expenses are synched periodically throughout the day. If the company you perform work for has recently approved an expense in Expensify, please wait a few hours before you check if it has been synched to Deel.

For Independent Contractors, expenses approved and synched before the end of your invoice period will be included in your next invoice for reimbursement.

For EOR Employees, expenses approved and synched before the monthly payroll cut-off date will be reimbursed on your next payday.
