Payroll & HR

Rippling

Rippling is a workforce management platform that runs HR, IT, and finance off one employee record. Its products include payroll, benefits administration, recruiting, performance, a learning management system, identity and device management, corporate cards, expenses, procurement, bill pay, travel, and a workflow builder for custom automations.

Because the products share one data model, a change such as a new manager or department propagates everywhere, and onboarding can push a device, app accounts, and training from a single action. The company says new hires can be set up in 90 seconds and that the platform integrates with 600+ apps.

Global coverage includes an employer of record for hiring without a local entity, payroll run through a customer's own entities, contractor payments, and a contractor of record service. Compliance tooling spans all 50 states and 180+ countries, flags minimum wage, sick leave, and wage payment risks, automates state and local tax account setup and a range of filings, and bundles employment practices liability insurance; HR Services connects customers to PHR and SHRM certified advisers. The site says 25,000+ businesses use the platform.

Pricing is not published; Rippling quotes per employee and per product, and its contact form sorts prospects by headcount band. U.S. offices listed are San Francisco, New York, Austin, and Seattle, with further locations outside the United States.
