FAQs
What makes Rippling different from other HR & Payroll solutions?
Most HR and Payroll solutions on the market today have either been consolidated through mergers and acquisitions or have grown through white labelling. Every Rippling app was built in house from the ground up to work together, meaning you do not have to rely on brittle integrations or manual data entry to keep everything up to date and in sync.
Does Rippling offer payroll in my province?
Yes! Rippling offers payroll in all 10 provinces. Unlike other vendors, we do not charge you more if you need to run payroll in multiple provinces.
Does Rippling file T4s and other tax forms for me?
Yes! Rippling automatically generates files with tax authorities, and distributes digital T4 forms to employees, as well as tax forms for contractors, at the end of the year. Additionally, you can select to have Rippling print and mail these for a small fee.
Can I pay international employees and contractors with Rippling?
Yes, Rippling offers international payroll. Unlike other solutions that use manual processes behind the scenes, Rippling has built native software so you can hire, pay, and manage your entire team – locally and internationally in one system. Our Global Payroll product covers all aspects of international payroll and is full of robust products and automations designed to simplify the payroll experience.
Can former employees and contractors access their payroll records and tax documents on Rippling?
Former employees and contractors can continue to access their Rippling accounts using their personal e-mail addresses. They'll be able to access their historical pay stubs, T4s, and other withholding information.
How long does it take to run payroll with Rippling?
With Rippling, you can run payroll within 90 seconds. Don’t have the time? Turn on auto-pay and never touch payroll again.
How long does it take to set up Rippling?
It takes most small businesses 1-3 weeks to set up Rippling. Your Rippling Implementation Manager will guide you through importing employee data, configuring benefits, and completing your first payroll run free of charge. You can expect to have 3 calls with your Rippling Implementation Manager that take 30 minutes to an hour. We also offer a consultative implementation service for businesses that have more complex or custom needs.
Does Rippling offer PEO for small businesses?
Yes. Rippling PEO takes payroll, benefits, HR, and compliance work off your plate, so you can focus on growing your business. It also gives you access to big-company benefits—including large group health plans, RRSP retirement plans, and HSA, FSA, and commuter flex benefits at affordable rates.
