CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE
Easy invoices and faster paycheques
A faster payday starts with easy invoice submissions, review, escalations, and approvals. Then, pay contractors in days.
Approvals at top speed
Auto-approve invoices based on approved time cards, contracts, or custom criteria. Speed up manual reviews with visibility of 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 log in at any time to check their balance and upcoming payments. This gives contractors control to withdraw on their own terms.
Pay within days
Cross-border payments and currency conversions are time-consuming, complex, and tedious. Rippling handles all of this and pays contractors within days, not weeks.
