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

Gain speed and control

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.

Built different

Analyse, automate, and orchestrate anything

Most "all-in-one" software consists of acquired systems. These modules are disconnected, so your business data is, too. Rippling takes a platform approach, building products on a single source of truth for all the business data related to employees. This rich, flexible data source unlocks a powerful set of capabilities.

Can contractors submit their own invoices?
