Payroll
Payroll on Deel Local Payroll, powered by PaySpace, fed from one record.
andteam is where employees and HR work, and the source of truth for people and pay changes. PaySpace is the payroll engine: PAYE, UIF, SDL, SARS submissions and IRP5s are handled there, by your own payroll team or a payroll service provider that is a PaySpace partner.

One sign-off per period
Each payroll period has one list of payroll changes: starters, changes, leavers, pay changes and leave days. HR reviews it and signs it off at the cut-off. Sign-off is its own permission, and the signer sees the whole payroll. A company can have more than one payroll, and you can keep a separate payroll for executives.
Changes that arrive after the cut-off are marked late and can move to the next period. Signed-off periods are locked, and every period's file is kept for audit and can be downloaded by the payroll team.
Pay on the record
Pay is kept as a history with effective dates. An increase from 1 March is recorded ahead of time and takes effect on the day, without overwriting February's pay. Every pay change is made from one place, with a reason, can need approval, and is audited. Pay components are set per company, with statutory items set by the country and locked.
Pay, bank, identification and employment equity data are protected areas: only roles granted them see them. Where andteam and PaySpace disagree, andteam's record wins.
Payslips, never redrawn
Employees see their payslips and IRP5 tax certificates on their Pay page, exactly as PaySpace produced them. andteam never re-renders them, so the document an employee sees is the one payroll issued. Leavers keep documents-only access to them for 18 months.
In the concierge, pay questions get a card filled in by andteam, not by the AI. Pay figures never go to the AI.
Moving payroll, on its own track
You can go live on andteam while your current payroll keeps running where it runs today, and move to PaySpace later. Before the switch, andteam runs PaySpace in parallel with your current payroll, comparing inputs and then results, and your payroll team signs off each parallel run. In a typical plan, all staff are live on andteam in week 12 and payroll moves to PaySpace in about week 25.
