CEO and Founder of Guideline

As of November 2024, we’re thrilled to welcome Deel to our suite of integrated payroll partners. Deel is an industry-leading, all-in-one global people platform and employer of record. With their top-tier service and hundreds of in-house payroll and legal specialists, they help tens of thousands of businesses expand globally with speed, flexibility, and compliance.

We believe in building people-first experiences through tech — and that starts with secure, custom integrations. Together, Guideline and Deel built a direct, two-way integration between our platforms; there are no third party applications facilitating a connection or data exchange. This doesn’t just create a seamless user experience, it safeguards your and your employees’ data from being passed through unnecessary layers and middlemen.

Here’s what our new, direct integration can unlock for your business:

401(k)s for global businesses

If you’re a global business wanting to make retirement benefits accessible to your US employees, this integration could be for you. The same way Deel helps you hire, onboard, and pay employees around the world compliantly, Guideline takes care of your US retirement program with expertise and automation to help reduce manual processes and potential errors.1

Easy to manage

Guideline makes retirement programs easy to manage. Tiffany Chung, People Lead at WithClutch, shared her experience with the integration:

"The integration between Guideline & Deel has been a game changer for our team and our employees. Setting up the integration was one simple click of a button, and so far, it's saved us hours of manual inputs every payroll cycle and enabled us to streamline our HR tech stack with fully automated workflows. The team has been so thoughtful in not just prioritizing ease for payroll admins, but bettering the experience for all employees. I'm so grateful for the partnership between these two platforms!"
