FAQs

What are the components in global payroll services?

Global payroll services typically include payroll processing, tax calculations and filings, compliance management, benefits administration, reporting and analytics, and integration with HR systems.

What is the difference between Global Payroll and Local Payroll?

Global Payroll is Rippling’s product offering for employers who need to pay employees employed via an international entity or subsidiary. Global Payroll involves navigating diverse tax regulations, currencies and employment laws across different jurisdictions.

Rippling also offers Local Payroll. Local Payroll describes Rippling’s payroll offering for companies looking to pay employees based in the employer’s home country. Rippling offers Local Payroll for employers headquartered in major markets including the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Australia and India, with more countries coming soon.

What is the best global payroll provider?

The best global payroll provider varies depending on the specific payroll needs and requirements of each organization. However, a reliable service provider typically offers comprehensive global coverage, advanced technology for automation and integration, compliance expertise in multiple jurisdictions, and excellent customer support.

How can you use Rippling to help you comply with local tax requirements?

Rippling is certified by local tax agencies in applicable countries and handles calculations and transmissions of payroll taxes and mandatory benefits at federal, provincial, and even country- or industry-specific levels. This assists with compliance with local tax laws and regulations.

Can Rippling accommodate shorter lead times for payroll processing?

Yes, Rippling offers significantly shorter lead times compared to most global payroll vendors. With our streamlined processes and self-service functionality, your team can run payroll just days before payday for international employees — simplifying payroll operations, providing flexibility, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring timely payments.

Can independent remote contractors submit their own invoices?

Contractors can generate their own invoices, which Rippling automatically routes for appropriate approvals. When Rippling has the information to generate an invoice automatically (like for contract terms of a fixed rate every month, or hourly contractors who track time using Rippling), Rippling’s multi-country payroll solution can also auto-generate invoices.
