Features and Functionality

Immigration Support

Dealing with immigration and visas all over the world can be tough, and Deel helps tremendously! Not only do they help with hiring workers in different countries, but they can also assist with relocation. The worker and employee will need to fill out forms and sign some agreements, and then Deel will send a quote for the visa. The quote includes the visa that Deel will apply for, the expected timeframe for the process, plus the next steps. They will help you with any cost information as well.

Payroll Integrations

Deel integrates with popular accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero which allows users to automatically sync invoices and payments, saving time and reducing errors. Deel also integrates with HR platforms like BambooHR. This lets users keep team member information, contracts, and compliance documents in sync. Additionally, Deel offers an API that allows users to build custom integrations.

HR Payroll Report

Deel allows you to customize payroll reports. To see the HR payroll reports on your dashboard, you just go to analytics and then reports. When you find the payroll reports in Quickview you’ll be able to run a report for specific dates and filter by country of residence or nationality. Once you choose your filters you can download the report as a CSV or PDf file. You can customize the field and choose what to include and not include in the report as well.

Add-ons

Deel offers a range of add-ons to enhance your global workforce management. Automate new hire screening and backup checks, equip employees with necessary tools anywhere and provide access to WeWork spaces. Ensure compliance with the Contractor of Record service, manage stock options with the Equity add-on, and streamline business expansion with Entity Setup services.

Payment Options

Deel offers diverse payment options, including bank transfers, credit/debit cards, and cryptocurrency. This flexibility contrasts with other payroll services that limit choices. Deel extends this flexibility to workers, allowing them to use a Deel card or opt for alternatives like bank transfers, PayPal, Wise, and Coinbase in various currencies. This adaptability makes Deel’s payroll system more user-friendly for both businesses and workers.

Ease of Use

Deel is a great platform to use when hiring a remote team or contractors spread all over the world. Let the platform do all the hard work for you, like compliance and regulations, tax forms, invoices, and more.

If you are an employee or contractor you will need to sign in you will have to create an account by entering personal information. To complete the onboarding process they will require you to verify your identity and then once it’s done you are free to withdraw money depending on your contract. On your dashboard, you will be able to see your contracts, compliance & documents, invoices, transactions, perks, insurance, and tax forms.

Customer Service

The support offered by Deel is quite limited. Their main option is 24/7 live online chat. While responsive, the chat option was not easy to find on their website. If chat isn’t enough for you, there is an option to send a message. I found the process to be annoying and long to have to send a message and wish there was an email address. The pricing was very clear on their pricing page and had in detail what each plan includes. One thing I appreciated was the detailed FAQ page and videos that can be found on the website. It covers a lot of topics so that hopefully you won’t be confused or need further support.
