The BEST HR Platform in the Business
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Rippling is primarily used by our HR team and employees for time tracking, payroll management, and sick/leave requests. Before Rippling, we had employees submitting their hour totals through various mediums. Rippling centralized everything and has made my life so much easier! I was reluctant to use a time-tracking platform, but it really is exceptional and has amazing features that have made my payroll process so much easier. I truly cannot recommend this product enough!
Pros
- Three different options to view the hours you've worked in a pay period. All three are valuable in their own way! I love this and use each one every week.
- Rippling has the option to retroactively log your hours later if you forget to log in before you start work. I love this because sometimes I take a work call on the go and don't have time to clock in first. Such a handy feature!
- Rippling has also made putting in time-off requests (sick/PTO/etc) so much easier. I'm sure every HR team would appreciate this!
Cons
- The app has frequent updates. Not necessarily a bad thing - just annoying to click the "update" button often.
- N/A - Rippling is awesome
- N/A - Rippling is awesome
Return on Investment
- Our HR team used to spend almost three days doing payroll calculations before Rippling. This platform has cut that time down by 75%! Now they can devote the time they would've spent on payroll to other important tasks.
- Rippling saves employees time by making time-tracking less of a headache.
- Rippling has so many so many services that it's essentially a one-stop-shop for centralized HR solutions!

Really Great Choice for the Most Part
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
