Rippling is perfect for keeping track of my PTO and allowing me to request specific vacation days off plenty of time in advance. Its time-tracking functions are easy to navigate and helpful. I would suggest Ripping for timekeeping to anyone. I don't know examples of when it would not be appropriate to use.

Pros
ADP
  • Monitoring human resources available in our company.
  • Checking employee attendance and time of reporting to duty.

Rippling
  • Rippling integrates with QuickBooks Online. As such, we no longer have to post our weekly payroll journal entry manually. The payroll journal entry syncs automatically from Rippling to QuickBooks Online weekly. This has helped saved our accounting department time.
  • The onboarding workflows in Rippling are terrific. We have been able to assign tasks to our team when we hire a new team member. This allows are staff to stay organized and it also helps ensure that all tasks are completed in advance of the new hires first day with the company.
  • We use the Rippling spend module to help manage corporate credit cards that are issued to staff members. When a staff member makes a purchase on their corporate card they receive a text message. Once the staff member receives the text message they reply to the text with a picture of the receipt and a memo describing the transaction. This process has helped alleviate the amount of admin time the accounting department spends on gathering receipts and information from card holders.
  • We really like the org chart since it can be accessed by all employees. This allows our staff to see who reports to who and what each employee's job title is. This allows for more effective lines of communication within the organization.

  • Fixing the PTO Calendars so they can be adjusted to different free days (In my company, not every employee has the same free days on the week, and it is actually updated monthly).
  • Open the possibility to add neo banks accounts.
  • It's a simple adjustment but a dark mode would be really appreciated.
  • Pop up notifications of payment on the app.

It has all the features that an employer or business would need, which gives everyone more time to focus on the bigger aspects of the business. Investing in Rippling is a great decision, especially if you don't want to be hassle-free and just be stress-free. It's hard when the tool you're using isn't reliable.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.
