The spookiest part of managing global teams isn’t the big surprises; it’s the small ones—duplicate records, missing receipts, or systems that don’t talk to each other. This month, we’re helping you vanquish these ghosts for good.

October’s releases bring simplicity and speed to every step of the employee lifecycle—from onboarding and learning to payroll and provisioning. HR teams can now unify background checks, validate start dates automatically, and streamline offboarding in one flow. Finance gets new tools for automated tax estimates, budget controls, and instant card withdrawals. IT gains more transparency and automation across suppliers, integrations, and device workflows.

Together, these updates help your teams spend less time chasing fixes and more time moving forward with confidence.

HR: Simplify onboarding and stay compliant

From unified background checks to smarter onboarding and offboarding flows, Deel helps HR teams create a seamless, compliant employee experience from start to finish. These updates streamline admin work, strengthen data integrity, and give every team more time to focus on people instead of paperwork.

Create and manage schedules with more control. Set rules for hours and breaks by worker type, assign shifts in bulk, and standardize workflows for full-time, part-time, and global teams, all from one place.

Plan time off easily with a new calendar view

Employees can now view pending, approved, and used time off in a monthly calendar, alongside remaining balances and public holidays. This helps teams plan ahead, avoid conflicts, and accurately manage requests.

Simplify background checks

Manage all background checks from one centralized hub: initiate, track, and review in Deel for full visibility and faster completion.

Smarter onboarding and onboarding flows

Automatic start date validation blocks holidays and weekends for EOR hires, ensuring compliance and preventing last-minute corrections. Clients can also terminate any worker type from one place. Deel automates handoffs and approval routing, ensuring a consistent, compliant offboarding process.

Payroll & finance: Speed, control, and compliance

Finance and payroll teams now have better control, faster visibility, and built-in policy enforcement at every step of the pay cycle. These new tools simplify compliance and reduce manual work—so every payout, budget, and deduction runs exactly as it should.

Bulk edit payroll contracts

Update multiple payroll or contract details in a spreadsheet-style view with real-time error feedback.

Faster, smarter timesheets

Employees can log and review timesheets directly in Slack, helping managers reduce delays and maintain payroll accuracy.

Automate expense oversight

Set spending limits and budgets by category or entity, enforce age-based submission rules, and automatically flag outliers to ensure expenses remain compliant.

Access pay instantly

EOR employees can now withdraw earnings directly to a Deel Card (virtual or physical), eliminating transfer delays and improving access to funds globally.

Stay compliant across crypto and fiat with TRES integration

Finance teams can now connect Deel directly to TRES Finance to simplify financial compliance. Every payroll and invoice—whether in crypto or fiat—is automatically synced, categorized, and ERP-ready in TRES. No more manual uploads or reconciliation.

Plan token taxes with confidence EOR clients processing token awards with Liquifi can now use an in-product calculator to estimate maximum tax and social contribution withholdings by country.

IT: More automation, less maintenance

October’s IT improvements bring more control and transparency across your global infrastructure—from supplier networks to software integrations—so your teams spend less time chasing updates and more time driving results.

Streamline supplier management

A new supplier platform gives non-core IT regions an all-in-one place for device order tracking, acknowledgment, and delivery confirmation.
