What's coming to Deel in April
Deel adds a broad April 8 release wave across HRIS, payroll, contractor, mobility, platform, and IT workflows, bringing redesigned profiles, smarter permissions, bulk signing, automation, integrations, self-serve requests, and faster approvals to cut manual work and streamline operations.
The best version of Deel is one that handles more so your teams handle less. Fewer manual processes, deeper integrations, more resolved without a support ticket ever being raised. Going live on April 8th, over 20 releases will move the platform closer to that.
Here’s what’s changing, and what your team needs to do before they land.HRIS
Worker profile redesign
Deel’s HRIS Worker Profile is being rebuilt around a new Person, Work, and Compensation data model — giving admins a cleaner, faster view and workers a more accessible profile across all devices.
What this means for you: Less time navigating a cluttered profile, fewer misdirected updates, and a layout that finally matches how worker data is structured.
How you can prepare: No migration needed — brief your HR admin team on the new structure before your next onboarding cohort.
Separate worker status into person and onboarding status
The single worker status field is splitting into two: one for personal information completeness, one for onboarding progress — giving admins a more accurate and intuitive picture of exactly where each worker stands.
What this means for you: Cleaner pipeline visibility and the ability to action incomplete records independently, without conflating two very different things.
How you can prepare: Review how your team currently tracks onboarding status and plan how you'll use the split view.
Time off request for Microsoft Teams
Workers using Deel's Microsoft Teams plugin can now submit standard time off requests directly in Teams — no context-switching required. Brings feature parity with Slack, and adds analytics on request origin for HR insights.
What this means for you: Higher completion rates from workers who live in Teams, and one fewer reason to chase people to submit requests.
How you can prepare: Confirm Deel’s Microsoft Teams plugin is active and let your workforce know before go-live.
Field level permissions and manager edit permissions for custom fields
Deel’s HRIS is getting a more flexible, self-service custom field permissions model — including the ability for managers to edit custom fields for their direct reports.
What this means for you: Managers take ownership of their team's data. HR Ops spend less time acting as an intermediary for routine field updates.
How you can prepare: Decide which custom fields should be manager-editable and configure permissions before go-live.
Mass sign for HRIS contracts
Clients managing large batches of HRIS-synced contracts can now sign in bulk — with full control over when employee invitations are triggered during onboarding.
What this means for you: Bulk onboarding gets faster and more controlled. No more processing contracts one by one or managing invitation timing as a separate step.
How you can prepare: Identify your next high-volume onboarding cohort and plan to use mass signing as your default flow.
Engage
Show/hide content in Library Hub
Admins and editors can now curate Engage's Library Hub — controlling which content is visible to which workers, with audience targeting via Job Architecture. No more one-size-fits-all content feeds.
What this means for you: The right content reaches the right people. Workers stop seeing irrelevant material; engagement rates go up.
How you can prepare: Audit your Library Hub content and identify what should be scoped by role, entity, or job level before the feature goes live.
Deel IT
Enable joining support conversations
Deel IT clients can now join support conversations directly on the platform — enabling faster, more direct resolution of IT issues without routing through external channels.
What this means for you: IT teams get a seat at the table when it matters, cutting the delay that currently comes from receiving an escalation mid-conversation.
How you can prepare: Configure access for the IT team members who should be able to join conversations.
Deel Payroll
Cycle tracker redesign UX
The Deel Payroll Cycle Tracker is being rebuilt for multi-entity scale — compact, card-based, with urgency grouping, improved filters, and a flexible architecture that handles corrections and parallel runs as they emerge.
What this means for you: See exactly what needs your attention across every entity, without having to hunt for it. Built for teams managing ten or more payroll cycles simultaneously.
How you can prepare: Familiarise your payroll team with the new layout before your next cycle runs.
Leave of absence sync enabled
Deel Payroll clients using the Workday GPC integration can now fetch Leave of Absence data directly from Workday's standard path — eliminating manual and duplicate entries across both platforms.
What this means for you: Cleaner records during leave periods, and one less source of end-of-period reconciliation errors for teams running Deel Global Payroll alongside Workday.
How you can prepare: Confirm leave policies are configured in both systems and map which leave types should flow through the Workday GPC integration.
Payroll submission — grouping columns
Deel Payroll clients can now customize column grouping on the Payroll Submission page — grouping items by use case, viewing differently by role, and renaming for clarity.
What this means for you: Finance and HR Ops can each see a Payroll Submission view that's structured for how they actually work, with better data resolution for reconciliation.
How you can prepare: Plan your default column configurations per internal persona ahead of the release.
Improved review steps for bulk edit
The Review Step in Deel Platform's Bulk Edit feature is being redesigned to clearly surface all pending changes before they're applied — ensuring nothing is committed without explicit acknowledgement. The result is fewer post-edit corrections, fewer rollbacks, and a meaningful reduction in support tickets related to misapplied changes.
What this means for you: A proper control point before bulk changes become irreversible. For teams running large-scale compensation or data updates, this is a simple but significant safety net.
How you can prepare: Add the updated Review Step to your standard bulk edit sign-off process from day one.
Simplified auto submission/approval
Payroll submission and approval automation is getting a simpler setup — decoupling automation configuration from multi-level approval policies so teams can adopt it without complex prerequisites.
What this means for you: If you've been deferring payroll automation because the setup felt too tangled, that blocker is gone.
How you can prepare: Identify which payroll groups are ready candidates for auto submission before the simplified setup lands.
Employer of Record
Per diem — rate conditions and restrictions
Deel’s EOR clients can now customize expense categories, define tax-free rates, and activate automated allowance creation — with employees getting immediate feedback on applicable tax-free rates at the point of submission.
What this means for you: Reduced compliance risk across tax jurisdictions, less manual work for admins, and fewer payroll queries from employees who weren't sure what was covered.
How you can prepare: Map your EOR expense categories and identify which need tax-free rate definitions before go-live.
Contractor
Contractor withdrawal method prioritisation
All Contractors are getting a redesigned withdrawal experience that leads with high-speed, high-margin methods — simplifying the decision, highlighting instant options, and reducing the cognitive load of choosing how to access funds.
What this means for you: Fewer contractor queries about withdrawal options. The right choice gets surfaced upfront, without requiring contractors to navigate a full list.
How you can prepare: Give your contractor population a heads-up that the withdrawal experience is changing.
Deprecation of SOW
Deel’s Contractor of Record clients are moving from the Statement of Work (SOW) to the Quote Work Order Form (WOF) — streamlining the contract flow and unifying the contract experience across COR and EOR.
What this means for you: A cleaner, more consistent contract flow for contingent workforce engagements. Legal and Finance teams managing high volumes of COR contracts benefit from reduced overhead, and the unified experience across COR and EOR makes cross-product contract management more predictable.
How you can prepare: Align with your Legal team on how the WOF maps to your existing SOW templates. Identify any contract language that needs migrating before the SOW deprecation lands.
Deel Mobility
Document Intakes
Deel Mobility clients are getting a redesigned document intake experience — clearer instructions, smarter categorisation, automatic field extraction, and full visibility on when intake is complete. End-to-end processing time is set to drop by 60%.
What this means for you: More documents correct on the first upload, fewer stalled cases, and a significantly faster path from intake to filing for your Mobility team.
How you can prepare: Brief your Mobility team on the new intake flow so they're ready to guide applicants through it from day one.
Business Visa Letters automation
Deel Mobility clients can now generate Business Visa Letters automatically — cutting manual effort for Mobility Ops agents, reducing error rates, and enabling consistent delivery at scale across contractors, COR, and partners.
What this means for you: BVLs go from a days-long manual process to on-demand. A meaningful time saving for any team managing high volumes of business travel.
How you can prepare: Communicate the new self-serve timeline to your mobile workforce and travel coordinators before go-live.
Deel Platform
Fern — new API documentation platform
Deel's API documentation is moving to Fern — improving clarity, discoverability, and developer onboarding across the full API surface, with particular improvements to MCP documentation for teams building agent-based integrations.
What this means for you: Engineers onboard faster, integrations get built with fewer errors, and your team spends less time deciphering documentation.
How you can prepare: Share the updated Fern docs with your engineering team and flag them as the new reference source for any integration work in flight.
OneTrust integration
Through Deel Platform's new OneTrust integration, clients and workers can now exercise their privacy rights directly on the platform — with pre-filled forms and no support ticket required.
What this means for you: Faster privacy rights resolution, a lighter load for support and Legal teams, and a stronger audit posture with every exercise documented and actioned by the requester.
How you can prepare: Update internal guidance to direct workers to the platform for privacy requests before this goes live.
New e-signature experience and PDF editing
Deel's new internal e-signature engine lets admins upload a PDF, place signature and input fields, and send for signing — entirely within Deel. Reusable templates, a full audit trail, and dual OTP for external signers included. No more Adobe Acrobat or DocuSign.
What this means for you: Faster document turnaround with better security, built into the platform you're already using. One fewer external tool in your HR and Legal stack.
How you can prepare: Identify which workflows currently rely on external signature tools and plan the migration.
NetSuite syncing custom fields
Enterprise clients using Deel Platform's NetSuite integration can now sync custom LIST fields and parent-child hierarchies — mirroring their NetSuite financial structure in Deel with self-serve configuration for Finance teams.
What this means for you: Accurate invoice classification, support for complex entity hierarchies, and significantly less manual reconciliation work between NetSuite and Deel.
How you can prepare: Map the NetSuite custom fields and hierarchies that should sync into Deel and validate the structure before go-live.
Assignments based on new categories
Admins can now assign time off policies based on entity, payroll group, and gender — replacing the manual assignment work that currently consumes significant hours during onboarding and ongoing management.
What this means for you: Fewer hours spent on manual policy assignment, a cleaner experience for workers, and gender-specific policies that stop appearing where they don't apply.
How you can prepare: Map your current time off policies to the new entity, payroll group, and gender categories ahead of go-live.
Anytime Pay card to bank withdrawal
EOR and Deel Payroll employees can now transfer funds from their Anytime Pay Deel Card directly to their bank account — no support contact needed. A withdrawal history table gives full visibility into transfer status.
What this means for you: Workers get direct, self-serve access to their earned pay. For HR and Total Rewards teams, this makes Anytime Pay a stronger financial wellness benefit — especially in markets where card spending is less convenient.
How you can prepare: Let your EOR and Deel Payroll employees know the new transfer option is coming.
Expense overview revamp
The Expense Overview page is being redesigned with a new side navigation menu, quick-action tab, inline approval buttons, improved detail view, and more powerful filtering — reducing complexity and speeding up review times for approvers.
What this means for you: Faster expense processing and fewer review errors. Inline approvals alone cut the clicks required to clear a standard queue.
How you can prepare: Brief your Finance Ops team and approvers on the new layout before it lands.
Enhanced mass upload experience
The bulk upload experience for expenses, allowances, and bonuses is getting improved CSV templates, cleaner employee filtering, better document handling, and more specific error messaging — reducing upload errors and manual rework for Finance and Payroll teams.
What this means for you: Fewer failed uploads, faster diagnosis when something goes wrong, and a smoother process end-to-end for high-volume compensation adjustments.
How you can prepare: Download the updated CSV templates when they go live and update your internal documentation.
Reorder actions in Workflow Builder
Operations Managers, Workflow Builders, and Developers can now reorder action nodes in the Deel Platform Workflow Builder using drag-and-drop — no deleting and rebuilding required. Supports complex branching, reduces workflow edit time by 50%, and lays the foundation for AI-driven workflows.
What this means for you: Half the time spent editing workflows, with significantly less risk of introducing errors when correcting sequences. One of the most frustrating parts of building in Deel — fixed.
How you can prepare: No configuration needed. Identify the workflows your team iterates most often and start there.

Revolutionizing payroll in Brazil
Deel expands its native payroll technology to Brazil with Deel Payroll engine Brazil, a self-sufficient payroll solution that automates eSocial data transmission, reduces manual work, and adds WhatsApp self-service for payslips, leave requests, and tax certificates.
Managing payroll in Brazil can be a real challenge for companies. Today, many even do it manually, taking on significant risk. In a recent Deel study, almost 60% of HR and finance executives said that they spend "too much time" doing manual payroll tasks. At Deel, we want to help companies focus on the strategic, not the tactical. So we're expanding our native payroll technology to Brazil with Deel Payroll engine Brazil.
Deel Payroll engine Brazil is a complete, self-sufficient solution for companies of all sizes that reduces costs and time spent on manual tasks, while providing local compliance expertise. Its payroll platform automates the transmission of data to Brazilian government system eSocial, minimizing the risk of errors in filing employee taxes and social contributions (INSS, FGTS, etc.).
Deel Payroll engine Brazil, combined with its revolutionary eSocial integrator, offers several benefits
- Streamlined Payroll Processes: Automate routine payroll tasks, reducing errors and freeing HR teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
- Enhanced Compliance: Ensure adherence to eSocial regulations through automated data validation and submission.
- Data Security: Safeguard sensitive employee data with robust security measures.
- Scalability: Grow your business without compromising payroll efficiency.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Reduce payroll processing costs through automation and streamlined operations.
Employee and management Self-Service Via WhatsApp
The platform also offers self-service via WhatsApp, providing quick and efficient support to both HR professionals and their teams. That means workers can obtain a pdf of their payslip, apply for leave, or request a tax certificate just by talking to our virtual assistant. Puma Sports, a Deel Payroll engine Brazil client in South Africa, saw a notable reduction in the processing time of HR information and requests for its more than 550 employees using this WhatsApp feature.
The launch of Deel Payroll engine Brazil marks a significant step in Deel's commitment to scaling payroll to more countries and more customers, backed by Deel's full HR product suite. With this new offering, Brazilian companies now have access to a truly global payroll solution that is automated, integrated, and customized to their specific needs.

Product updates you can plan around
Deel introduces a new product release framework that gives enterprise and mid-market customers more predictability, stability, and control. New customer-facing features now roll out on a monthly schedule with advance notice, phased testing, and optional early access.
Speed has always been part of how Deel operates. We've shipped features fast, iterated constantly, and built the platform into what it is today by moving with urgency. That pace has been one of our biggest strengths and our customers have benefited from it. That's not changing.
But as Deel has grown into a platform that thousands of enterprise teams rely on to run their global workforce, we've listened carefully to what matters most at that scale. The answer is clear: alongside innovation, you need predictability. You need to know what's coming, when it's coming, and that it's been thoroughly tested before it reaches your team.
That's exactly what we’ve built.
Introducing Deel's new product release framework
Starting now, every new customer-facing feature on Deel ships through a structured, phased rollout process purpose-built to give enterprise and mid-market customers more visibility, stability, and control over how product changes reach them.
The updates aren't changing. The way you discover them is.
What this means for you
You'll know what's coming before it arrives. Unless you are on our early access list, you will receive advance notice of upcoming platform changes one week before they go live for your organization. No more surprises. No more logging in to find a workflow that looks different without warning.
Updates arrive on a predictable monthly schedule. Rather than rolling out continuously, new features for enterprise and mid-market customers will land on a consistent monthly cadence — the second Wednesday of each month. Your team can plan around it, brief internal stakeholders, and prepare your workflows accordingly.
Features reach you after they've been rigorously validated. Before any new functionality is released, it travels through multiple quality gates. It's tested internally, validated with our test group, and rolled out progressively. By the time it reaches you, it's stable, it meets defined success metrics, and it has zero open bugs.
Early access is available if you want it. If you'd prefer to see new features sooner, you can opt into our early release program. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to be added to the list.
What to expect going forward
Your customer success manager will be available to walk through upcoming changes and answer any questions ahead of each release window. Every month you will receive monthly product update emails that outline what's being released.
Why this matters
Deel now supports tens of thousands of customers worldwide, many of them running complex, multi-entity global payroll and HR operations. For those teams, a surprise change to a workflow isn't just inconvenient, it can have real downstream consequences for your people and your operations.
The feedback we've heard from customers has been consistent for some time: more notice, more predictability, more stability. This framework is our direct response to that.
It also reflects something broader about where Deel is as a company. We've built the infrastructure, the team, and the processes that a truly enterprise-grade platform requires. This release framework is one part of that — a commitment to operating with the rigor and discipline that global organizations expect from the platforms they trust with their workforce.
Great products deserve a great experience around them. This is one more step toward making sure Deel delivers both. We're not slowing down on building. We're getting smarter about how we deliver.

What’s New Blog | February 2026
Paylocity adds workflow and efficiency updates across Marketplace, Learning, General Ledger, Recruiting, and Paylocity for Finance, including personalized integration recommendations, automated training on role changes, flexible GL controls, expanded offer letter placeholders, and procurement form comparisons.
This month’s updates are designed to make your day easier—whether you’re refining workflows, supporting employees through role changes, managing financial processes, or evaluating the right integrations for your organization. From more flexible general ledger controls to smarter procurement comparisons, automated learning assignments, recruiting enhancements, and personalized Marketplace recommendations — each new feature helps you work more efficiently and stay focused on what matters most: your people and your operations.
Marketplace
Discover the right integrations with personalized recommendations
Curated recommendations make it easier to spot integrations that can bring immediate value. Suggested apps appear directly where you’re browsing, helping you quickly identify high-impact and newly added solutions without sifting through the entire catalog.
Learning
Automate training when employees change roles
Role-specific training can be automatically assigned as employees move into new positions, keeping learning aligned with job changes. This helps support compliance and reduces the ongoing effort of tracking transitions or updating assignments manually.
General Ledger
Streamline GL workflows with more flexible mapping and entry controls
Simplify GL management with new flexibility across maps, payroll entries, and tax clearing logic.
- Update GL connections without rebuilding maps: Connect, disconnect, or switch integrations on existing maps to reduce remapping and manual work.
- Create journal entries from multiple payrolls in one request: Select multiple payrolls at once and generate combined or individual entries with bulk download support.
- Map tax funding to multiple clearing accounts: Assign clearing accounts by tax payment type, so entries match exact cash withdrawals and reduce reconciliation steps.
Recruiting
Create offer letters faster and easier with expanded placeholders
Build personalized, accurate offer letters faster using an expanded set of autofill placeholders that pull in more candidate, job, and compensation details automatically. This enhancement helps you create polished, ready-to-send offers with fewer manual edits.
Paylocity for Finance
Compare procurement form versions for added visibility and audit readiness

The Big Deel 2026: Everything We Announced
Deel launches a major global work platform update with Deel AI agents, a more connected Deel HR, new Deel Mobility tools, mobile app upgrades, and enterprise enhancements including deeper integrations and stronger governance for global teams.
Seven years ago, Deel started with a single belief: opportunity shouldn't be limited by geography. Today, more than 40,000 companies, from SMEs and startups to household name enterprises, use Deel to manage their global workforces. And at The Big Deel 2026, we showed what comes next.
This year's event was about more than features. We unveiled a new operating model for global work—one that's connected, intelligent, and built around the people who actually do the work. Here's everything we announced.
Deel AI: A real teammate, not a chatbot
Most AI sits on top of your tools. You ask it questions, and it gives you answers. In global work, that breaks down fast. Data is fragmented, rules change by country, and answers without context create real risk.
We took a different approach. Deel AI works like a real teammate. It has the reasoning to understand what's happening, the knowledge to stay within your policies and local laws, and the ability to take action directly inside the platform. It's always on, continuously monitoring your workflows, detecting anomalies, flagging risks, and surfacing missing information as things happen. No one has to ask it to work.
Building on that foundation, we launched our AI Workforce, a suite of proactive AI agents. These aren't generic assistants. Each agent owns a real part of the workflow—hiring, onboarding, payroll, IT, compliance, and more. They follow your rules, your approvals, and your risk thresholds. Sometimes you ask an agent to step in. Other times, it steps in before something breaks.
Here's what that looks like across the full employee lifecycle:
- Hiring agent: Recommends the right talent partners, generates job descriptions, and guides sourcing from day one, including directly inside ChatGPT. Deel is the first B2B HR and payroll app in ChatGPT.
- Onboarding agent: Proposes the right equipment, places orders, and sends updates automatically. No tickets. No back-and-forth.
- Payroll AI: Catches anomalies before a cycle starts, traces changes back to their source, and surfaces risk while there's still time to fix it, so the payslip goes out accurately every time.
- PTO agent: Handles time-off requests for managers, checking policy, local law, and approvals automatically.
- Build your own agent: Upload your handbook, define your rules, and give employees a benefits agent that answers questions with the right context every time—during life events, performance reviews, offboarding, and more.
Deel AI isn't a layer on top. It's embedded directly into the platform, taking ownership of real work.
Deel HR: The connected system that makes everything work
For AI agents to work effectively, they need a single place where workforce data actually lives and stays consistent. That's Deel HR.
Over the past year, we invested heavily in making our HRIS truly AI-native. It's the single source of truth for your workforce—every worker, every role, every country, every change. That structured, global data is what makes our AI workflows possible.
- Workforce planning: Headcount planning used to mean mismatched spreadsheets between HR and Finance, and no single view of costs. Workforce planning gives HR, Finance, and Management teams real-time access to accurate workforce data straight from your HRIS.
- Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS): Approved roles flow automatically into job openings, no data re-entry, no handoffs. AI supports screening, scoring, and sourcing, surfacing the most relevant profiles first. When an offer is accepted, everything captured in the ATS flows directly into HRIS—automatically powering what comes next.
- Automations that connect onboarding, learning, performance, and compensation: Once a hire is confirmed, Deel IT orders and ships the right laptop, provisions apps, and sets up secure access—anywhere in the world. Learning journeys launch automatically. Performance, development plans, and compensation cycles all live on the same HRIS foundation. And when compensation decisions are made, changes flow automatically into payroll.
Deel Mobility:
Even companies with great HR and payroll systems hit a wall when it comes to moving people across borders. Immigration cases live in spreadsheets and with disconnected external vendors. Processes are slow. Compliance is reactive. The cost is real—more risk, more admin, more confusion.
Deel Mobility is your new system of record for all immigration cases—combining real-time visibility with built-in compliance. It connects directly to your HRIS, so updates flow automatically. No manual syncing. No stale data.
- Initiate services in-platform, like short-term business travel, permanent relocation, right-to-work checks, and more
- Track every case, document, and timeline in one place, with proactive alerts on immigration law updates, contract changes, and renewal windows
- Use AI-powered eligibility tools to understand visa options upfront and get instant quotes
- Get support from 100+ mobility experts in more than 100 countries, or let Deel fully own execution on your behalf
Immigration becomes predictable, trackable, and compliant by design. This is mobility at Deel speed.
Mobile app updates: The world of work in the palm of your hand
We redesigned the Deel mobile app from the ground up. The new app is a central hub for your entire professional life—with powerful financial tools built into the core, and a personalized experience that shows only what's relevant to you in the moment.
Here's what's inside:
- Clarity from the first screen—upcoming tasks, pay date, time off balance. Peace of mind built in.
- Submit expenses, request time off, access contracts, view the org chart, and manage your own growth—all in one place.
- A modern financial experience built into payroll. Contractors can view transactions, access Deel Cards, use Deel Advance, and now hold earnings in stablecoins and earn rewards. Employees get clear payslips, Anytime Pay (fee-free), and the new option to receive part of their salary in stablecoins.
- Approve time off and expenses with a swipe. Deel AI surfaces directional insights to help managers make confident decisions fast.
Deel at enterprise scale
The largest organizations in the world can't pivot their entire tech stack overnight. Deel is built with that reality in mind. Here's what we announced for enterprise teams.
- Modularity: Start where the pain is biggest—EOR, contractors, or fragmented payroll. Deel’s enterprise path starts anywhere, integrates easily, and expands when you’re ready.
- Deep integrations: Deel is now a certified Workday Global Payroll Cloud partner, with expanded integrations across SAP, UKG, and NetSuite, and open APIs for custom connections. Barings used Deel and Workday together to unify payroll across 18 countries.
- Governance and AI guardrails: One global approval chain, one audit trail, one control framework across every legal entity. Deel’s AI agents operate fully within your enterprise rules—you set the guardrails.
- Enterprise Operations: Every enterprise customer now gets a dedicated Enterprise Operations Manager in their timezone, guaranteed operational SLAs, and executive sponsorship for fast escalation.
Discover the future world of work
Everything we showed at The Big Deel 2026 exists for one reason: to make global work simpler and more reliable for your team.
