CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE
Easy invoices and faster payments
A faster payday starts with easy invoice submissions, review, escalations, and approvals. Then, pay contractors in days.
Approvals at super speed
Auto-approve invoices based on approved timecards, contracts, or custom criteria. Speed up manual reviews with visibility into contract details, comments, and more.
Status checks in real-time
Check on pending contracts, know exactly what they’re for, see which ones are paid out, and have a unified view for approvers, HR, finance, and contractors.
Contractor controls
Contractors can come in at any time to check their balance and upcoming payments. This gives contractors control to withdraw on their own terms.
Pay in days
Cross-border payments and currency conversions are time consuming, complex, and tedious. Rippling handles all of that and pays contractors in days, not weeks.
Global AUTOMATION

When it comes to contractor processes, eliminate manual mistakes with automation you can trust. Rippling protects you from errors, so your work speeds up.
Do less data entry
Generate an invoice for hourly or fixed-rate contractors. You don’t need to spend time uploading hours. Invoices automatically load into payroll.
Get payroll ready on time
Powerful, flexible tools mean pay runs stay on time. Customise approval routing policies, and create workflows to escalate invoice approval reminders.
Put KYC on autopilot
Rippling automatically collects KYC documents from your contractors and handles compliance work, like identity verification.
