About us
Deel Local Payroll, powered by PaySpace, is a cloud-native payroll and HR platform built for businesses that want full control over payroll—without the limitations of legacy systems.
Founded by a team of payroll pioneers, PaySpace was created to challenge the status quo. Frustrated by outdated, on-premise solutions, they took a first-principles approach to building something new: a scalable, multi-tenant platform with real-time, compliant payroll built into its core.
In 2024, PaySpace was acquired by Deel, a global leader in payroll and HR solutions. Deel retained PaySpace as an independent subsidiary, continuing to serve customers across Africa, the UK, and Brazil, while also integrating its powerful, configurable Gross-to-Net (G2N) calculation engine into Deel’s broader platform. This shared engine now powers Deel’s Employer of Record (EOR) and Global Payroll services in markets like Canada, Brazil, Singapore, the UK, and South Africa, making Deel the first provider to offer real-time, multi-country payroll on a single system.
Today, PaySpace operates as Deel Local Payroll —giving businesses the tools to run payroll in-house, with advanced automation, legislative compliance, and unmatched scalability.
We’re also proud members of the South African Payroll Association and the Payroll Authors Group, and the only ISO 27001:2022-certified cloud-native payroll platform built specifically for Africa and beyond.
