Rippling helped Sayari grow its remote workforce

Em and the rest of Sayari’s HR team use Rippling HR Services to tackle HR processes that would take ages if manually repeated across every state where the company hires—since 55 employees live near company headquarters in DC, Maryland, and Virginia and the rest are spread remotely throughout the US, UK, Sweden, and Canada.

Take payroll tax registration, which Rippling can automatically handle on Sayari’s behalf. “Registering for state taxes, closing those accounts when we don’t need them anymore, and having to keep track of any changes—these are all taken off the finance team’s plate,” Em said of the positive feedback from colleagues. 

Sayari also uses Rippling to distribute locally required workplace posters, including state-specific information on workers’ compensation coverage, unemployment insurance, and leave entitlements. “If you have employees in different states, it’s hard to keep track of,” Em said.

 “Automating that has been amazing,” Em said. “I don’t have to worry about it. It’s on people’s profiles; we have versions to post and print around our office and versions to host in a digital file.”

Em also appreciates the robust support system across Rippling products and feels like she has the backing of on-call HR experts. “I think I reach out to the team at Rippling almost every other day,” she said. “We can go to Rippling for questions instead of reaching out to our legal team, which costs hefty fees.”

She also appreciates accessing support while keeping benefits in-house. “We look at HR Services like it’s a mini PEO,” Em said. “We could get the support we were looking for without losing the ownership over benefits internally.”

Before signing up for Rippling HR Services, Em said Sayari wanted to explore new HR services without replacing any of its existing systems. “Having everything in one place is a huge thing for us,” she said. “As Rippling has added features, it has made sense for us to add them to the system that we already have rather than implementing something new.”

According to Em, the transition to Rippling HR Services was seamless. Rippling deducted costs from HR Services features Sayari already used, like Rippling’s LMS, and coordinated bi-weekly meetings with Em to ensure satisfaction with the product. Sayari was immediately able to use HR Services to register state taxes and send employee notices.

Em says all Sayari teams that interact with Rippling appreciate its modern, user-friendly software and how easy it is to quickly find important workforce data. 

“It's a very intuitive system to use. I really don't get questions from employees that they can't find something or they don't know where to go in the system, which is great because that can be a huge pain point for HR teams—having to just tell someone where to click!”
