Deel - PEO/EOR employment

Point of contact

The recruiter will let you know that Deel will contact you.

You will be assigned a Deel Onboarding Specialist. They will ask you to create an profile in Deel and send over compliance documentation. All of this must be done before your start date. You won’t be able to start until this is done. Read about how to sign up as an employee here.

If there are any delays, Deel will notify the People Ops team and propose a new start date. Your point of contact for any questions regarding employment will be answered by the Onboarding Specialist.

Why is there no mention of equity or stocks in my contract?

Since your employment contract is with Deel, any equity grants or stock options offered by your company will need a separate agreement between you and your company.

We usa Carta as our default app for tracking options, please refer to this handbook page for more information. You can also confirm your number of options and grant date in BambooHR.

What’s the name of my employer?

You can check who employs you in this page.

How often does the exchange rate get updated for compensation?

The amount specified as compensation in your Deel contract is based on an exchange rate calculated based on the 12-month trailing average. Please reference the FY23 YTD row in the below table when calculating your expected salary from USD to local currency. Compensation bands are calibrated every 6-months and we will account for exchange rates when there is a change to compensation bands; All merit increases for teammates on Deel are based on their compensation rate per their Deel contract; it’s very difficult to account for continous FX rate changes after the salary has been converted from USD to local currency at the time of offer or transfer to PEO. *Why we can’t benchmark on USD offer at time of conversion when calculating merit:

• We can’t and will not reduce someone’s current salary in local currency. For example if FX rates swing in the opposite direction for a teammate - we would never say “you are paid now more than what we offered you in USD and we will ask that you make less than the rate in your contract in local currency”
• Currently, the best way for us to account for increases is to calculate merit adjustments based on their compensation in local currency per their Deel contract.
• We will evaluate the bands every 12-months to benchmark if any additional adjustments are needed due to extreme FX changes. These will be accounted as part of band related adjustments - not within the merit adjustment.

The PTO policy in my country of residence is different from Sourcegraph’s PTO policy, which one should I follow?

You are required to take the minimum statutory PTO days in your country in order for us to be compliant with Deel and your country’s laws. However you are not limited to the minimum statutory PTO days in your country. Sourcegraph will honor the unlimited PTO policy, which the Deel team is aware of. Please submit your time off using the PTO by Deel Slack App to ensure the data syncs with the Deel platform.

• Once you have hit your PTO statutory minimum, please submit any additional time off under the ‘Other’ category and add the comment “Unlimited PTO”.

The Deel team is aware of our flexible PTO policy and will honor it. Please submit your time off using the PTO by Deel Slack App as usual - it will sync with the Deel platform and you will not be limited to the number of statutory days based on your country.

How do I submit time off?

You can check this article on how to ask for time off through Deel’s platform.

Sourcegraph uses the PTO by Deel Slack app to submit PTO. There is an integration set up between the Slack app and Deel, so you will be able to submit time off via the Slack app and it will automatically sync to the Deel platform. For this to work, your Deel email will need to match your Slack email (your Sourcegraph email). Make sure you change your Deel email to your corporate one if you wish this integration to apply to you.
