JemSmarter HR, connected to payroll.

About

Jem is a WhatsApp-first HR, Communications and Employee Benefits platform built for deskless workers. We digitise the full employee experience – from payslips and leave management to financial wellness – delivered directly to employees' phones. Used and loved by 240,000+ deskless workers across South Africa, Jem removes the friction between employers and their deskless teams.

How the integration works

Jem integrates directly with Deel Local Payroll to sync employee data into our system in real time, capturing changes as they happen – with the exception of bank details, which sync on an hourly basis This powers Jem's platform with live employee data, enabling payslips, HR communications and benefits to be delivered to employees via WhatsApp. Payslip distribution, leave management, and full bidirectional sync are currently in active development.

Benefits of the integration

Eliminate payslip printing and distribution costs – Jem customers save millions per year More efficient payslip delivery – employees receive payslips on payday, not days later Dramatic reduction in payslip queries Improved payroll accuracy through digitised leave and attendance workflows
