Steps
Retrieve country-specific contract requirements: GET /rest/v2/forms/eor/create-contract/{country_code} using an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN header
Optionally validate job scope, then fetch available country benefits with GET /rest/v2/eor/{contract_id}/benefits
Estimate total employment cost for the target country with POST /rest/v2/eor/employment_cost, providing salary and country_code in the request body
Submit the EOR contract creation request: POST /rest/v2/eor with the required fields returned in step 1
Have the hiring manager sign the contract in Deel; the worker then receives an invitation email to create their Deel account and sign
Poll the contract status endpoint or listen for a webhook event to confirm the worker has completed onboarding
Known gotchas
Required fields differ by country; always call the contract-form endpoint first rather than hardcoding fields, because local-law requirements change
The worker invitation is triggered automatically after both parties sign — do not attempt to re-invite manually, as this creates duplicate account states
API keys for Deel are scoped at creation time; ensure the key has EOR write permissions, not just read, before attempting contract creation
