Question 1

How does twice-monthly payroll processing work?

Accepted Answer

We process payroll on the 15th and 30th of every month through Deel. Before each pay date, we verify hours, review any pending bonus or stipend requests, and ensure all amounts are accurate. Deel then executes multi-currency payments to each team member in their local currency. You receive a detailed invoice after each cycle with the full breakdown.

Question 2

What currencies do you support for international payments?

Accepted Answer

Through Deel, we support payments in virtually every major currency worldwide. Your employees receive their salary in their local currency, whether that is Brazilian Real, Colombian Peso, Philippine Peso, South African Rand, or any other supported currency. You are invoiced in your preferred currency, typically USD.

Question 3

Do you mark up employee salaries?

Accepted Answer

No. We never mark up employee salaries. Every invoice clearly separates the base salary from our management fee so you can see exactly what your employee earns. When an employee receives a merit increase, the full raise amount goes directly to them. Our management fee is a separate, transparent line item, and it decreases with volume discounts as you hire more team members through us.

Question 4

How do you handle employee raises and salary adjustments?

Accepted Answer

When you approve a salary increase, we handle the entire process. We create a contract amendment in Deel, update the payroll schedule, and adjust your invoicing. The employee sees the raise reflected in their next pay cycle. Our performance management team can also recommend merit increases based on semiannual review outcomes, though the final approval always stays with you.

Question 5

What happens when I hire my first employee through Adaptive Teams?

Accepted Answer

Once you have selected your candidate through our recruitment process, we set up their Deel contract, configure payroll, and onboard them into our HR management system. Payroll begins with the next scheduled cycle. You do not need to worry about local entity setup, tax registration, or compliance. Deel and Adaptive Teams handle all of that from day one.

Question 6

Can I see a breakdown of all payroll costs before committing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Before you hire, we provide a complete cost breakdown that includes the employee base salary, our management fee, and any applicable Deel platform fees. There are no hidden costs and no surprises. You will know the exact monthly cost per employee before making a hiring decision. Book a free consultation and we will walk you through everything.
