CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE
Easy invoices and faster paychecks
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.
