Next steps: Use a worker profile to make termination or reactivation changes.

PEO: Pre-populated onboarding data

Additionally, templates created by other users within the organization are now visible, reducing redundant work and ensuring consistency across contracts. Previously, custom templates were only accessible in a separate menu, which often led to users recreating similar contracts from scratch.

Next steps: Select custom templates when creating or updating contracts in Deel.

Contractors: Discoverable and shareable custom templates

Compliance tasks now feature clearer actions, such as “talk to an expert” and a streamlined “assess risk” option, with tasks prioritized based on risk. Previously, compliance tasks were unprioritized, making regulatory management more difficult. This update helps clients focus on the most critical compliance needs.

Next steps: Review your compliance dashboard to manage high-priority tasks effectively.

Platform: Enhanced time-off permissions

Managers and department heads can now access time-off data for their teams based on role-based permissions. Previously, time-off data visibility was not customizable, limiting flexibility. This update improves transparency and simplifies leave management.

Next steps: Customize permissions for managers in your team settings.

EOR: Specify work arrangements during onboarding

A new "Work Arrangement" section has been added to the onboarding process, allowing clients to specify whether roles are remote, on-site, or hybrid.

Next steps: Complete the “Work Arrangement” section during the onboarding process.

EOR: Automated compliance in resignation letters

Resignation letter templates now include localized placeholders to align with country-specific compliance requirements.

Next steps: Use the updated resignation templates for your employees.

Mobility: Directly manage agents

Authorized users can now assign roles, update links, and manage agents directly in the platform. Previously, managing agents required support team intervention, which caused delays. This update improves efficiency by enabling faster case handling and reducing dependency on support teams.

Next steps: Use the agent management tools in the Mobility section.

Platform: More accurate and transparent testing tools The Test Module now includes targeted testing, manual test initiation, enhanced error transparency, and locked mapping edits.

Next steps: Use the upgraded Test Module to refine testing workflows.

Platform: Clearer AI Feedback for improved responses

The AI response feedback process has been simplified by removing the 👍 (thumbs up) button and improving the reporting workflow. Previously, unclear feedback options reduced engagement. This update encourages more useful input and improves the quality of AI-generated responses.

Next steps: Submit feedback using the new reporting tool.

Platform: Flexible country selection for background checks

Clients can now select countries for international criminal background checks via a dropdown menu. Previously, country selection was limited, restricting global compliance flexibility. This update ensures that background checks align with specific client needs.

Next steps: Customize background checks by selecting the appropriate country.
