Deel’s Adjustments API covers both Global Payroll and EOR, with categories for bonuses, allowances, and deductions — deductions are expressed as negative amounts. Toku targets the dedicated deduction category configured during onboarding, discovered via GET /rest/v2/adjustments/categories. See Deel’s Adjustments API announcement and the Adjustments reference on the Deel Developer Platform for the full request schema.

How the Amount Is Set

The worker’s stablecoin election in Toku determines the amount for each payroll cycle.

Toku recalculates and updates the adjustment before each cycle, so one-off changes (bonuses, prorated periods, paused elections) are handled automatically.

The line item appears on the worker’s payslip with the Toku description, so payslips stay self-explanatory.

Guarantees

Behavior	Detail
One line item	Exactly one Toku deduction per participating worker per cycle
No gross changes	Gross pay, taxes, and every other pay item are untouched
Bounded amount	The deduction is validated against net pay before it is applied
Reversible	Removing a worker’s election stops the deduction from the next cycle

Toku never modifies compensation, tax withholding, benefits, or existing adjustments in Deel — the adjustments:write scope is used only for the Toku deduction itself.

Reconciliation

After the payroll cycle is finalized, Toku reads each applied adjustment back (GET /rest/v2/adjustments/{id} and GET /rest/v2/contracts/{contract_id}/adjustments), confirms it against the finalized run, and releases the matching on-chain stablecoin payments. Any mismatch blocks settlement and is surfaced in the Toku dashboard before funds move.
