Briefing
How Deel Works in Japan
Deel is a global employer of record and payroll platform headquartered in San Francisco. Under the employer of record model Deel is the legal employer: the person is on Deel's payroll in Japan and works day to day for you. Deel publishes that it owns its entities in more than 130 countries rather than working through local partners, and its Japanese company, Deel Japan株式会社, has been registered since February 2022. The service is published in English and Japanese, with visa handling offered through its Deel Mobility product.
Who It Fits
Companies that want to employ someone in Japan before, or instead of, setting up their own entity. Deel's own Japan page states that a business usually needs an entity to hire in Japan and positions the employer of record as the alternative. That makes it a fit for a first hire, a small team, or a period of testing the market ahead of incorporation.
If You Already Have a Japan Entity
An employer of record charges a management fee per employee on top of salary and statutory costs, so once you have your own entity the question becomes whether to keep staff on Deel or move them onto your own payroll. Deel's published services include payroll and entity setup support, so the move does not necessarily mean leaving the platform; confirm Japan coverage for those products with Deel directly. Providers that only run payroll for companies with an existing entity are listed alongside Deel in this directory.
