Why Connect Deel to Workday?

Deel uses a REST API while Workday uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Employee records must be updated separately in Deel and Workday, causing payroll discrepancies when changes are missed

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Deel and Workday aligned

Reporting across Deel and Workday requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Client engagement details in Deel and time-tracking data in Workday do not align, making billing inaccurate

Deel limitations compound the integration challenge: integration with Australian payroll and accounting tools is functional but less seamless than locally-built alternatives
