With certified integration, a dedicated delivery practice, and joint go-to-market alignment, Deel and Workday are enabling global teams to operate with more speed, visibility, and control.
As more enterprises scale internationally, they face a new layer of operational complexity. Payroll systems must integrate seamlessly. Compliance must be proactive. Data must move in real time, without introducing risk.
To meet these evolving demands, Deel and Workday are deepening their partnership to help customers simplify how they manage payroll and people across borders.
This expanded collaboration enables us to deliver:
- A certified global payroll integration through Workday’s Global Payroll Connect (GPC)
- Increased investment by Deel in a dedicated Workday practice
- A joint go-to-market motion to align around enterprise buyers expanding globally
Together, Deel and Workday are helping HR, finance, and IT teams move faster, without compromising compliance, data integrity, or employee experience.
A Trusted Integration, Certified for Scale
Deel’s integration through Workday’s GPC program ensures a seamless, secure connection between platforms. Employee data flows automatically between systems. Payroll results, payslips, and tax documents are returned to Workday, giving teams real-time visibility into execution across 130+ countries.
This certification is backed by Deel’s in-house payroll infrastructure and local expertise—delivering accurate, compliant payroll without the delays or disconnects of third-party processors.
Investing in the Workday Ecosystem
To support joint customers, Deel has established a dedicated Workday practice built in close collaboration with Workday’s leadership team. This team is focused on delivering against shared priorities. The result: faster onboarding, stronger delivery, and more value for Workday customers scaling their global operations with Deel.
Our collaboration with Deel reflects the kind of integrated, global partnership we strive for at Workday. From certified payroll connectivity to a growing joint go-to-market motion, Deel is helping Workday customers operate with more scale, compliance, and efficiency across borders.

Supporting Workday Customers Beyond Payroll
For many organizations, running payroll is just one part of the global execution challenge. They need trusted partners who can help them navigate hiring, compliance, and operations across borders, without adding friction or fragmentation.
That’s where Deel complements the Workday ecosystem.
With Deel, customers can:
- Hire in 130+ countries without setting up legal entities
- Pay global employees and contractors through one partner
- Manage devices and access for remote and distributed teams
- Support growth with immigration, entity setup, and expert-led compliance services
We needed a partner with strong technology and the stability to handle our global complexity. Deel’s ability to centralize support and integrate seamlessly with Workday's platform made them the clear choice.
