Run payroll on Deel Local Payroll? Connect it to RibiPeople.
Our integration with Deel Local Payroll (formerly PaySpace) makes it easy to recognise, reward and support your people with local African rewards — automatically.
Payroll data in. Recognition, automated.
Employees sync automatically
Connect once. Names, emails, birthdays and employee numbers sync from Deel Local Payroll into RibiPeople every night — no CSV, no re-typing a staff list into a second system.
Suggested reward on every calendar event
Birthdays and anniversaries show up on your RibiPeople calendar the moment they're synced, each with a send-reward action already pointed at the right person.
Leavers handled for you
If someone is no longer in Deel Local Payroll, their record is deactivated automatically — not deleted, so past reward history is preserved, but they drop off future sends.
Low-balance alerts
We track your average spend and email you before your wallet runs dry — so a birthday never gets missed because funding ran out quietly.
Read-only, encrypted
Deel Local Payroll access is read-only and your credentials are encrypted at rest. RibiPeople never writes back to your payroll data.
One click to send
Click send on a calendar row and you land straight on the recipient step with that person already selected — no searching, no manual entry.
From payroll record to employee moment.
The integration removes repeated admin without turning payroll into the rewards system.
Connect
Authorise read-only access from your Deel Local Payroll account.
Sync
Eligible employee records and milestone dates refresh nightly.
Review
Upcoming birthdays and anniversaries appear for HR with the right employee already identified.
Reward
HR confirms the moment and sends a locally relevant reward through RibiPeople.
Less calendar chasing and list maintenance.
Use payroll as the employee-data source, while RibiPeople handles the recognition workflow, local reward choice, delivery and history.
A deliberately narrow integration.
Read-only access, limited employee fields and no write-back to payroll keep the integration focused on the data needed to run the employee experience.
Frequently asked
What data does RibiPeople read from Deel Local Payroll?
Employee number, name, email, birthday, and profile photo from their biographical records — that's it. Access is read-only; RibiPeople cannot edit or write anything back to your Deel Local Payroll account.
How often does the sync run?
Nightly. New hires, updated details, and terminations from Deel Local Payroll are reflected in RibiPeople the next morning.
What happens when someone leaves the company?
If Deel Local Payroll no longer returns them in a sync, their record is marked inactive in RibiPeople automatically. Nothing is deleted, so any past reward history for that person is kept intact — they just stop appearing in future calendar suggestions.
Do we need our own IT team to set this up?
No. It's a short connect flow, done by whoever administers your Deel Local Payroll account, in a couple of minutes.
Can we send more than birthdays and anniversaries once connected?
Yes — anything you can send today (milestones, bonuses, welcome gifts) still works exactly the same. The connection just removes manual entry for the recurring, date-based sends.
Isn't this called PaySpace?
PaySpace is now Deel Local Payroll — same platform, same integration, new name. You may still see 'PaySpace' referenced in older material while everything catches up to the rebrand.
