They should go back to having no withdrawal limit; it is becoming quite expensive if you receive more than six thousand dollars per month.

Additional Features: Their immigration and visa support is an added cost (based on quote), BUT it's super helpful and much less expensive that the alternative hiring a legal team or consulting with legal.

Legal Review for Contract Templates

medium compliance

Deel's contract templates attempt to cover all bases but often require legal review and customization, adding external legal costs that offset some of the platform's cost savings.

contract templates try to cover every base, so chances are you'll need to re-write parts or get a lawyer to look at them (so not saving your company any money in the process).

5

Parallel Payroll Fee

We were able to get the Parallel Payroll Fee waived and the supplier also approved Quarterly payments on a 3 year term.
