The instruction
“When a new starter is added in Deel, check their Xero Payroll record for tax details, bank account, pay template, start date and salary. If anything is missing or does not match the offer in Deel, remind the starter or their manager to complete it in Deel self-service. Five days before the pay run, send the payroll manager a list of starters who are not ready.”
