Rippling HR

Rippling HR is the core HRIS module of Rippling's unified workforce platform, which combines HR, IT and finance on a single employee data model. Founded in 2016 by Parker Conrad and Prasanna Sankar, Rippling centralizes employee records, onboarding, org charts and HR workflows so that a single data change -- a promotion, a department move, a new hire -- propagates automatically to permissions, payroll, benefits and device access without re-entry across separate systems.

The product covers document management with e-signature collection, role-based field-level permissions, an AI workflow assistant that can execute multi-step HR actions (new hires, manager changes, leave requests) with a review-before-apply step, and automated compliance monitoring across all 50 U.S. states and 180+ countries, including real-time break and labor-law violation alerts. A global HR layer localizes fields, documents and currencies to each employee's work location, and additional modules -- recruiting, performance management, learning, headcount planning, compensation bands and PEO service -- sit on the same record.

Rippling is aimed at growing companies and mid-market organizations that want a single HRIS tied directly into IT (device and identity management) and finance rather than a standalone HR tool stitched to payroll and IT systems separately. The core Rippling platform is required, with HR, IT and finance products purchased as separate per-employee add-on modules.
