We use payroll.micro1.ai for processing the payments.
You will be able to create an account only after you receive an invitation from our finance team to your personal email. Please wait for that invite to arrive and then proceed with the setup using your personal email. The invite usually comes 2-3 days before the pay cycle ends.
When asked to choose between individual and entity, please choose the option that suits you best:
If you want to be paid with your personal information, then please proceed with "I'm an individual". Most people choose this option.
If you want to be paid as a company (i.e.: LLC, Inc, etc.) please select "I'm a business entity"
If you experience any issues during the verification process, please reach out to us for support.
For tax-related questions (e.g., tax treaties or Form W-8BEN-E), please consult your local tax advisor. There will be no tax withholding from our side. Note: Most countries have tax treaties with the U.S. that help avoid double taxation, but you should confirm the details with your local advisor.
This role is compensated on a fixed, per-task model rather than hourly tracking.
Each task carries an expected AHT of 12 hours, and payment is issued as 12 billable hours per task upon sign-off.
As a reviewer, the expected AHT is 1 hour. Payment is issued as 1 billable hour per review.
Important Notes:
Payments will be processed in your micro1 Payroll app only after the pay cycle ends. Please review the next question for the payment dates.
Each month has two pay cycles, so you’ll receive payment twice per month.
Pay Cycles:
1st - 15th of the month. Paid out by the 21st of the same month
16th - last day of the month. Paid out by the 5th of the following month

Deel Card: $0 USD (While there is no minimum amount required, Contractors should ensure they fund enough to cover the cost and shipment of any pending physical Deel Card. Funding less than the pending Deel Card fee will result in an error.)
Additionally, exchange rate fees may apply for non-US cards, depending on your bank.
Important Notes:
Local Bank Transfers: Withdrawals via local bank transfer may incur separate provider fees in certain currencies. Deel has no control over fees that may be charged by the contractor's bank.
Contractors living outside the US but getting paid in US bank accounts: Even if the payment is directed to a U.S. bank account, the $5 withdrawal fee will still apply if the payroll contract is registered under a non-U.S. residency. This fee covers additional compliance overheads associated with these kinds of transactions.
SWIFT Withdrawals: This method is available in many countries and currencies but often involves multiple intermediary banks, which can result in unpredictable processing fees. Neither Deel nor the contractor's bank can predict these fees, which may be deducted from the final amount received.
For Users in Ecuador: A $25 fee applies to withdrawals. Although Ecuador uses USD, it lacks a local clearing system for U.S. dollars, so withdrawals are processed as international transactions.
The minimum amount required to initiate a withdrawal depends on the method selected:
Local bank transfer: $10 USD
SWIFT bank transfers: $100 USD
Payoneer: $50 USD
Coinbase - ETH, BTC, USDC, DASH: $10 USD
Coinbase - Solana: $20 USD
Deel Instant Card Transfer: $5 USD

Automatic Withdrawal: Your payment will be sent automatically as soon as it's processed.
100% Transfer: The full amount will be transferred to your bank account.
To do this, go to Finance > Withdrawal Methods.
Is there a maximum amount of time I can leave the funds on the micro1 Payroll platform without withdrawing them?
Even though there’s no set limit, we recommend that contractors withdraw their balance within 30 days to avoid funds being returned. If there’s no activity, the system may assume the account is no longer active.
