The BEST HR Platform in the Business

Incentivized
Angelina CrownoverView profile
Compliance Director in Legal at Angels for Angels (1-10 employees employees)

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

Incentivized
Mitch BeiterView profile
Compliance Manager in Finance and Accounting at Democratic Party of Wisconsin (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Rippling for HR purposes, payroll, and spend management. My use case is mostly in the spend management domain, assessing the business expenses of everyone in our organization and syncing the expense data over to our accounting and donor database software to ensure that we can meet legal reporting requirements properly.

Pros

  • Having an intuitive website layout
  • Spelling out required tasks for new hires
  • The customer service team is super kind and responsive

Cons

  • They give me way more tasks to complete than is necessary for me specifically
  • Their accounting sync needs to be able to group reimbursements by the day they were paid out
  • The color scheme is a bit uninspired

Return on Investment

  • Saves us a ton of money per month on reimbursements (we don't have to pay anything)
  • Really useful integration into our accounting software for the most part
  • We were able to add spend management functionality on top of our existing payroll system
