This change ensures greater flexibility and accuracy in invoicing, eliminating the need for manual corrections. Previously, VAT for one-off payments was automatically inherited from the current payment cycle, which could lead to discrepancies and unnecessary adjustments.

What’s next: Future iterations will expand customization to include Global Payroll, EOR, and PEO.

Platform: Enhance time tracking with project assignments for all worker types

Our new “Hours to Projects” feature extends project tracking beyond PAYG worker types.

Next steps: No action required—PWAC profiles are now available for all organizations.

Platform: Centralize task management with a dedicated tasks landing page

Next steps: No action required—clients will automatically see the updated Tasks landing page on their dashboards.

Global Payroll: Decouple employment terms with individual effective dates

Global Payroll clients can now update job information fields with separate effective dates. Previously, updating one field (such as job title) forced changes across related fields (like work location or cost center), leading to errors and extra work. With this enhancement, you can modify each field independently—reducing payroll mistakes and improving integration with external systems. 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. This improvement provides greater transparency, making it easier for you to understand and manage the costs involved.

Next steps: No action required—this update is live across your withdrawal setup and method details pages.

EOR: Improve amendment flow with early effective date entry

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—this feature is automatically available for clients using Deel Time Off.

Deel IT: Simplify asset management with bulk upload

In upcoming releases, you’ll also be able to bulk enroll devices into service packages for an even more seamless experience.

Next steps: No action required—access the new bulk upload tool directly in the Asset Tracker.

Deel IT: Clarify service bundle invoices for enhanced transparency

We've improved our invoice descriptions so you can easily see exactly what you're being charged for. Instead of a generic "Service Bundle," your invoice now displays the specific add-on name—for example, DLM, DLM Plus, Standard Service, or Standard & Loaner. This update makes it simpler to understand your fees and quickly locate the details you need.

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

Visual Updates

Platform: Redesign documents page for clear document management

The current documents page has become cluttered with multiple tiles and components, making it difficult for clients to quickly find and manage files. The redesigned page features a clean, standardized layout that clearly distinguishes between required and optional documents, with intuitive status indicators to help you identify which files need attention. This streamlined view saves time, enhances compliance, and reduces stress by enabling you to focus on core tasks.

Clients can now generate AI-powered Statements of Work (SoW) when creating contracts for Independent Contractors. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that hire contractors frequently and need a quick, structured way to define deliverables, timelines, and payment terms. Instead of drafting an SoW from scratch, users can input the contractor’s role and seniority, and Deel’s AI will generate a tailored SoW that aligns with industry standards.

A visual indicator in the pay grid notifies users when pay has been pro-rated.

Next steps: Use the pro-rata calculator for accurate salary adjustments.

EOR: Speed Up Amendments with Faster Processing Rules

Client-submitted EOR amendments are now processed at different speeds based on the level of review required. Instant amendments (e.g., salary increases) are processed immediately, while those requiring HRX, legal, or employee review follow their respective workflows. This reduces delays, enhances operational efficiency, and improves client visibility into amendment processing. No action required—instant amendments are now automatically processed, and non-instant amendments will follow their designated review paths.

EOR: Get Data-Driven Salary Recommendations for Hiring

Clients can now request a report of salary range recommendations for their open hiring positions. By submitting a LinkedIn or careers page link or uploading a CSV via Analytics > Salary Insights, Deel AI matches job positions to its Salary Insights database.

EOR: Ensure Timely Reimbursements with Soft Cut-Off for Expense Submissions

Expense submissions will now follow a soft cut-off policy to ensure timely reimbursements and improve payroll compliance. Expenses submitted and approved at least 12 hours before the cutoff will be reimbursed in the current payroll cycle. Expenses submitted within the 12-hour window may be included if reviewed in time, but reimbursement is not guaranteed. Any expenses not reviewed on time or submitted after the cutoff will be carried over for the next cycle or processed as Off-Cycle Disbursements (ODPs). Only approved and reviewed expenses will be added to payroll—expenses with statuses like Pending Deel Review, Processed without Review, or Escalated will no longer be included.

Next steps: No action required—expense submissions will now follow the new processing rules automatically.
