Pros

“With features now like deductions, PTO tracking, time tracking, all integrated into the point of sales system— you can’t really beat the solution if you use the POS.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Joe H.

Owner

“I can track & pay out PTO, withhold Child Support payments, distribute tips -- it's all super intuitive and clear, for both me and my employees.”
MS

Michelle S.

Owner

“They send reminders and make sure I'm following all the local, state and federal laws, and organize my employee taxes so easily.”
CB

Carolyn B.

Owner, President

Pros

“I use it with an integration of WebWork time tracker to handle my payrolls and how much i'm gonna be paid bi-weekly, it also handles contracts with your contractors as well.”
DG

DANILLO G.

Front Desk Representative

“I could onboard contractors or EOR employees quickly, generate compliant agreements, run multi-currency payments, and keep the paperwork, audit trail, and reporting in one place.”
SI

Shokirjon I.

Researcher

“Deel offers great value for money with an intuitive interface, strong contract and employee management, and responsive customer support through chat communication. While occasional minor bugs and small UI inconsistencies appear, the overall experience is reliable, efficient, and well-suited for global teams.”
KB

Krzysztof B.

Senior Frontend Engineer

Cons

“However, if your business requires highly complex custom reporting or deeply integrated HR functions, you may find the platform too basic for your long-term needs.”
Md

Maggie d.

Owner

“Limited customization and reporting capabilities, along with fewer advanced HR features compared to more comprehensive payroll platforms.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Stephanie O.

Owner

“We have 2 main issues with the software and that's making it more customizable and also getting customer service support is sometime difficult. Since square makes the software easy to use it sometimes lacks in certain areas.”
Md

Maggie d.

Owner

Cons

“They do not provide good communication around deadlines e.g. p11d processing which has meant that it has cost us more time/effort.”
LS

Laura S.

Benefits Manager

“One minor thing that took a bit to figure out was the custom workflows, but once we rolled it out to the team, it was kind of annoying that some features are only available in the higher-tier plans.”
IW

Isla W.

Operations Manager

“The only minor drawback is the withdrawal fees associated with certain local bank transfers in specific regions, which can feel a bit high compared to standard wire transfers.”
