Time tracking

Learn how to use the time tracking API to keep the time sheets of your Global Payroll employees under control

Suggest Edits

With the time tracking API, you can manage the time worked by employees, and add, update, retrieve and delete their shifts.

📘

The time tracking API only works for Global Payroll

Independent contractors use timesheets to track their time. For more information, see Timesheets.

Before you begin

Here's a few things to keep in mind before starting to manage shifts:

  • Shifts are linked to contracts. To manage shifts, you need the contract ID that you can retrieve from the GET list of contracts endpoint.
  • Shifts are processed and compensated at the end of each payroll cycle. For more information, see Shifts and payroll cycles.
  • If you submit a shift for a past payroll cycle, it will be compensated at the end of the current cycle without validating if the date of the shift falls within the current cycle.
  • Shifts are compensated according to a combination of the shift rate of a shift submitted and the hourly base salary of the worker.

Shift types

Shifts can be submitted in two formats:

Categorized shifts

Categorized shifts are suited for when shifts are categorized outside Deel and the shift rates (pay codes/category) are known. Usage of this API also requires you to set up shift rates using the shift rates.

Following is an example of a categorized shift:

{
  "external_id": "shift_123",
  "date_of_work": "2024-04-01",
  "summary": {
    "shift_rate_external_id": "rate123",
    "shift_duration_hours": 8,
    "total_break_hours": 1,
    "payable_break_hours": 0.5,
    "total_payable_hours": 7.5
  }
}

Uncategorized (raw) shifts

Uncategorized shifts are used to capture the shift information in a more granular way. For instance, we capture the start, end, breaks information about a shift, as opposed to the categorized shifts where we capture summary information like the total hours worked, total break hours etc. There is no need to setup shift rate for uncategorized shifts.

{
  "external_id": "shift_456",
  "date_of_work": "2024-04-01",
  "meta": {
    "start": {
      "date": "2024-04-01",
      "time": "09:00",
      "is_rest_day": false,
      "is_public_holiday": false
    },
    "end": {
      "date": "2024-04-01",
      "time": "17:00",
      "is_rest_day": false,
      "is_public_holiday": false
    },
    "breaks": [
      {
        "end": {
          "date": "2024-04-01",
          "time": "12:00"
        },
        "start": {
          "date": "2024-04-01",
          "time": "11:00"
        },
        "is_paid": true
      }
    ],
    "approval_date": "2024-04-03"
  }
}

Shifts and payroll cycles

When you submit a shift, the shift is automatically associated to the relevant payroll cycle based on the submission time stamp and the cycle's cutoff date. The cutoff date is the last day for the manager to approve the submitted shifts to be processed within the current payroll cycle.

  • If the shift is approved before the cutoff date, the submission is processed within the current cycle
  • If the shift is approved after the cutoff date, the submission is processed in the next cycle

The payroll calendar is configured per entity by your Deel representative when you onboard. That's when you decide the cutoff dates. If you have questions about your cutoff dates, contact your Deel representative. For more information, see Understanding the Deel Global Payroll Calendar.

🚧

Contact support for late shift submissions

If the payroll cutoff date has already passed and waiting for the next cycle for the shift to be processed is not an option for you, you can contact support to process the shift in a special off-cycle payroll run. Off-cycle payroll runs have an additional fee that depends on your contract agreement.

Make sure to provide the shift details via a CSV file through the support channel.

Preventing late submissions with payroll_cycle_ref.date

To avoid accidental late submissions that result in a shift being processed in the next cycle, you can include the optional payroll_cycle_ref.date parameter when submitting a shift. This parameter ensures that the shift is only associated with the specified cycle if the submission is timely, avoiding shifts being unintentionally pushed to the next payroll cycle.

When you pass a payroll_cycle_ref.date, you're declaring your intended payroll cycle for the shift. The system compares the request's time stamp with the cycle's cutoff date and checks whether the current submission falls within the specified cycle.

  • If the submission timestamp is before the cutoff of the current cycle, the request succeeds
  • If the submission timestamp is after the cutoff, the request is rejected

This validation ensures that the shift is only associated with the specified cycle if the submission is timely.

Without the payroll_cycle_ref.date parameter, the system automatically determines the cycle based on the submission time — which may lead to late shifts being silently pushed to the next cycle. Use this parameter when you want explicit alignment with a particular payroll cycle.

Here's an example of how to use the payroll_cycle_re.date parameter:

👍

Format of the payroll_cycle_ref

The payroll_cycle_ref.date follows the ISO 8601 date and time format. You can use any date within the cycle's start and end dates, but we recommend using the cycle's end date for clarity.

Manage shifts

This section covers how to add, update, and delete shifts for an employee.

Add shifts

This section covers how to add shifts for an employee. There are 2 different endpoints available for adding shifts based on the shift type.

Add categorized shifts

You can add multiple categorized shifts for a single contract by providing an array of shifts. Before creating a categorized shift, you need to create a shift rate that you will link to the shift.

To add shifts, make a POST request to the Create a time tracking shift endpoint.

List shifts in your organization

You can list the shifts in your organization and sort them by the time of creation.

To list shifts, make a GET request to the List time tracking shifts endpoint.

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/v2/time_tracking/shifts?limit=10&offset=20&contract_id[]=abcd&contract_id[]=abcd2&from_date=2023-10-01&to_date=2023-10-02' \

ℹ️ Use the array syntax contract_id[]=value to filter for contract IDs. For multiple contract IDs, you can use contract_id[]=value1&contract_id[]=value2.

A successful response (200) returns the list of shifts available in your organization and matching any filters applied. For example:

Delete shift for a contract

You can delete a shift for a contract by using the external_id of the shift.

Manage shift rates

Shift rates are used in payroll calculations to define the amount of the salary to be paid for a specific shift. There shift rate types are:

NameDescriptionFormulaExample
MULTIPLIER_PERCENTAGEDefines the rate of a shift as a percentage of the salary, using the employee's hourly salary (if it's a hourly contract) or equivalent hourly salary (for non-hourly contracts).Total amount for shift = (MULTIPLIER_PERCENTAGE/100) * Per_hour_salary * Total_payable_hours10$/hour is the base salary, user submitted shift with total of 5 payable hours and according to the shift rate attached to the shift MULTIPLIER_PERCENTAGE is set to 200% so Total amount paid for the shift = 2 10 5 = 100$
PER_HOUR_FLAT_RATEDefine the rate of a shift as a flat rate per hour.Total amount for shift = PER_HOUR_FLAT_RATE * Total_payable_hoursPER_HOUR_FLAT_RATE set to 100$ and total_payable_hours for the shift are 5 hours Total amount paid for the shift = 100 * 5 = 500$

Create a shift rate

You can create shift rates for your organization, which you can then map to individual shifts when adding them.

To create a shift rate, make a POST request to the time_tracking/shift_rates endpoint.

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/v2/time_tracking/shift_rates' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{token}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "data": {
        "external_id": "regular_rate_1",
        "name": "Regular Shift rate 1",
        "type": "PER_HOUR_FLAT_RATE",
        "value": 150
    }
}'

Where:

Retrieve the shift rate

You can also retrieve the shift rates starting from the external_id of the shift rate.

To retrieve a shift rate, make a GET request to the Retrieve a single time tracking shift rate endpoint.

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.letsdeel.com/rest/v2/time_tracking/shift_rates/{{external_id}}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{token}}' \
