Next steps: Visit the Equity dashboard to manage and review your consolidated grants list.

Platform: New landing page for task management across Deel

Next steps: Navigate to the Equity Overview page to explore EOR-specific insights.

Workflow Adjustments

Deel Platform: Force 2FA across every worker types

Org Admins could previously enforce 2FA only for client roles—not for all worker types—leaving security gaps. This update empowers admins to enforce two-factor authentication platform-wide, so organizations can elevate account protection for every user type across Deel.

Next steps: Go to Org Settings and update your 2FA enforcement policy to include workers.

Global Payroll: Seamless PTO review during termination process

Clients offboarding workers risked payroll errors when PTO changes weren’t reflected in final payouts. This update lets clients confirm PTO balances during final payroll submission and auto-updates the report, so offboarding is more accurate, support tickets drop, and PRMs save time.

Next steps: When terminating a worker, review the new PTO and severance columns in the payroll report.

Deel Platform: Automate failed withdrawals and refunds (Phase 2)

When a refund or withdrawal failed, clients had to contact support to resolve it. Now, the system automatically refunds the failed amount to the client balance and sends a notification with Next steps—so clients can retry seamlessly and support teams save valuable time.

Next steps: Attempt a test refund or withdrawal to observe the new auto-handling behavior.

Deel Contractors: Add dependents to IC health insurance

Next steps: Review Access Management settings to configure permissions by department or role.

Workflows: Trigger automations from multiple onboarding statuses

Previously, clients could only trigger workflow actions from a single onboarding or offboarding status, limiting automation flexibility. Now, users can configure a trigger that activates from multiple statuses (e.g., “Invited,” “Onboarding,” “Active”) while ensuring it fires just once—streamlining automations across varied worker journeys.

Next steps: Update existing workflow automations to include multiple relevant statuses.

Global HRIS: Configure approval workflows for terminations

Termination processes often varied across organizations, creating gaps in visibility and control. Clients can now configure a default termination approval policy that ensures consistency before a profile and contract are closed. This builds structured oversight into sensitive offboarding decisions, aligning with internal policies and audit needs.

Next steps: Set up your default termination approval policy in Org Settings under Admin Approvals.

Platform: Validate approver roles during policy creation

Admins building approval policies sometimes chose roles without active members, leading to blocked requests. This update shows who holds each selected role during setup and flags empty ones—so admins can assign appropriate approvers upfront and avoid workflow failures or delays.

Next steps: Create or update an approval policy and review approver role validation in real time.

Platform: Add break details to approved hours view

Clients reviewing hours in the timesheet page couldn’t see if break time was included, making it harder to verify accurate hours. With break details now shown in both pending and approved timecards, reviewers can make faster, more confident payroll decisions.

Next steps: Go to the Time Tracking page and review approved hours to see break info included.

Global HRIS: Notify workers of assigned schedules

When schedules were assigned, workers often missed updates unless told manually. This update adds in-app notifications when new schedules are assigned—so workers stay informed, reducing miscommunication and helping teams stay aligned.

Next steps: Assign a work schedule to a worker and confirm they receive an in-app notification.

Deel IT: Add reminders and admin tools to improve tracking

Next steps: Review BYOD orders and test the updated reminder and editing flows in the Admin Panel.

Visual Updates

Deel Platform: Rearranged tax documents UI for clarity

Clients reviewing expenses and tax documents in the Deel platform often had to scroll through unrelated sections, which made navigation inefficient. By moving the tax documents section directly below the expenses card, this update creates a more intuitive layout, so users can find key financial information faster and with less friction.

Next steps: Refresh the homepage and navigate to the tax documents section to see the new layout.

Platform: Show weekday names for holidays and birthdays

Clients planning schedules around holidays or birthdays previously lacked context about the day of the week, making planning harder. Now, weekday names are visible across public holiday widgets and birthday listings, helping clients and workers make faster, more informed decisions about availability and time off.

Next steps: Visit the Time Off widget or calendar view to verify the new weekday labels.

Deel Contractors of Record: Improved COR toggle visibility and defaults

Clients unfamiliar with Contractor of Record (COR) often missed setup steps or failed to find the toggle. This update introduces a new Coverage Picker for first-time users, improves admin controls, and consolidates org-level settings—making it easier to enable COR with clearer visibility and fewer errors.

Next steps: Start a new contract to explore the updated COR setup experience.

Deel Card: New tab structure and UI for easier navigation

Clients managing cards on a long-scroll page had trouble locating details quickly.

Next steps: Visit the Deel Card section to experience the improved tabbed layout.

Integration Updates

Platform: Approvals for Plugins via Slack Notifications

Before this update, approval requests triggered through Deel Plugins lacked a unified notification system, making it harder for users to stay on top of requests. With this release, approval notifications now appear directly in Slack via the Deel app, using the same triggers from the Approvals framework—so users can review and act faster without switching tools.

Next steps: Install the Deel app or connect your workspace to receive approval alerts in real time.

Roots app: New customer plugin management in Deel

Clients previously had to manage plugin setup through a separate Roots app, which created confusion and maintenance overhead. Now, new customers can manage plugins and users entirely within Deel—providing a smoother setup experience and eliminating the need for legacy platforms.

Next steps: Visit the Deel Plugins section to manage plugin access and users directly.

Payroll Connect: G2N configuration in PRM Portal

Payroll partners configuring Gross-to-Net mappings had limited tooling within the PRM Portal, leading to inconsistencies. This release adds G2N configuration controls directly into the portal, allowing partners to map payroll logic more efficiently and ensure better data flow between systems.

Next steps: Access the PRM Portal and set up or review your G2N configuration.

Next steps: Upload a document and select the new “Read” action to share it passively with workers.

Deel IT: Launch centralized IT homepage for device tracking

Next steps: Open the Deel IT tab to explore the new homepage experience and view equipment across your workforce.

Partners: Submit and track referrals in Partner Portal

Referral submissions were handled manually and tracked inconsistently, creating delays and missed opportunities.

Next Steps: Log into the Partner Portal and visit the Referral Customers section to add your first referral.

Global HRIS: Centralize task management with unified landing page

Tasks from different workflows were buried across the platform, making it hard to prioritize or delegate work. This new landing page consolidates every task—manual or automated—into one view for clients and workers, improving visibility and execution.

Next Steps: Go to the Tasks tab from the homepage or Worker App to manage open items across your org.

Workflow Adjustments

Deel Global Payroll: Streamlined PTO balance update for employee termination payment

We’re excited to roll out a new feature that simplifies PTO balances and off-boarding payments confirmation during employee terminations for fewer errors. Practitioners can skip inputting PTO during the termination request flow, and simply review, add or edit later during the payroll submission process. The payroll report dynamically reflects the latest PTO and severance data, ensuring accuracy and consistency. Automated change tracking logs updates for transparency and audit readiness.

Next steps: Read more about the process here.

Global HRIS: Set default invoicing entity for streamlined billing

Next steps: Go to organization settings to define your default invoicing entity if you manage more than one.

EOR: Automate job category updates in amended contracts

Next steps: Amend job-related fields in eligible countries and review auto-generated contract category updates.

Platform: Enable seamless transitions from GP to contractor

Transitioning a worker from Global Payroll to contractor previously required manually managing complex rules and validations.

This guided flow makes the transition smooth and secure, reducing risk and saving your team valuable admin time.

Next steps: Start from the worker profile and select the “Change to contractor” option to launch the transition flow.

Platform: Enable seamless transitions from GP to EOR

Relocating a direct employee to a country without an entity used to involve workaround solutions and error-prone coordination.

With a built-in transition path to EOR, you can now manage these changes more reliably—ensuring the worker stays onboarded without gaps.

Next steps: Start from the worker profile and select “Change to EOR employee” to begin the guided transition.

Deel Global Payroll: Seamless off-cycle payments for selected expenses

Select approved expenses (all or specific ones) per employee for inclusion in off-cycle runs. Your team can move expenses between cycles, including removing from or adding to off-cycles. This feature gives your business full control over expense reimbursements across cycles, aligning with our vision to increase payout flexibility.

Next steps: Select applicable expenses on the Expenses page and click 'Create GP off-cycle'

EOR: Automate redline processing for master Employee Agreements

Next steps: Add a non-compete or non-solicitation clause to a master EA to trigger the automated handling.

PEO: Support 401(k) loan repayments via Guideline integration

Next steps: If an employee has an active Guideline loan, check that repayment details are reflected in their payroll record.

Next steps: Create a new contract to preview the Coverage Picker flow and visit the organization setup page to manage COR settings.

EOR: Support foreign currency allowances across contracts

Next steps: When adding a new allowance, choose your preferred currency type and confirm that it applies correctly during setup.

Payroll Connect: Configure G2N mappings in PRM Portal

PRMs lacked direct access to configure gross-to-net mappings, which led to coordination delays and setup bottlenecks.

This new capability puts control in your hands—letting you define mappings within the PRM Portal for faster payroll onboarding.

Next steps: Log into the PRM Portal and configure [G2N mappin](https://help.letsdeel.com/hc/en-gb/articles/17251412276753-How-to-Access-Global-G2N-Reports-in-Deelg under your payroll settings.

Platform: Automate failed withdrawal and refund handling

Next steps: Monitor your email and balance when initiating payments. If a refund fails, it will be returned automatically.

Global HRIS: Align org roles with permissions for better access control

This update enables hierarchical access tied to organizational roles—so middle managers get the visibility they need without compromising data controls.

Next steps: Review or update worker and department roles in the Access Management section of Org Settings.

Visual Updates

Platform: Add documents directly from the Home widget

Next steps: Open the home page as a worker and click “Upload Documents” in the Immigration widget to test the shortcut.

Platform: Celebrate key moments with animated HRIS statuses

Platform: Add success animations for key payment actions

Integration Updates

Deel IT: Remove unsupported 36-month rental option

Next steps: Check IT policy settings and new order flows to confirm only 12- and 24-month rental options are available.

Future iterations will further decouple effective dates across additional categories.

Next steps: No action required—this update is live for all Global Payroll clients.

Deel IT: Make fee displays crystal clear on automatic withdrawals

Currently, when setting up automatic withdrawals, the fee section only shows the generic text “Fee based on selected currency.” This leaves you without a clear view of the actual fee you’re being charged—whether it’s a flat amount, a percentage, or a tiered rate that might include cross-border or SWIFT fees. With this update, the system now displays the precise fee details based on your selected currency and withdrawal method.

Next steps: No action required—this update is live for EOR clients.

EOR: Refine job title guidelines for compliance

We’ve updated the EOR prohibited job titles, occupations, and roles list to provide clear guidance on when job description modifications are needed. For example, medical professionals can keep their existing titles as long as their roles don’t involve diagnosis or treatment—research and analysis remain permitted. Similarly, attorneys and HR specialists need not alter their descriptions unless their roles include activities outside the permitted scope. This helps you maintain accurate job titles while ensuring compliance and reducing unnecessary changes.

EOR: Automate countersignature to prevent contract overlaps

Our system now automatically triggers the countersignature for new EOR contracts once the blocking condition—an active contract—is no longer true. Once your previous contract's termination date is confirmed, the new contract is automatically countersigned. This streamlines the process, reduces delays, and eliminates manual intervention, ensuring a smoother transition for new hires.

Platform: Forecast your future balance for better planning

Workers can now easily forecast their available time off directly from the balance cards. When you select a future tracking period, the system calculates your accruals up to the current year and adds future carryover and accruals—while excluding any pending time-off requests. This clear, forward-looking view helps you plan your leave more effectively.

Next steps: No action required—these invoice updates are live and automatically applied to your billing statements.
