Rippling is now available for companies headquartered in the United Kingdom.
As the all-in-one workforce platform with built-in payroll, HRIS, benefits and more, Rippling offers access “to over a dozen products that support your UK and global employees.”
Today, most businesses in the UK utilize “a variety of disconnected systems and outsource payroll.”
They send emails, spreadsheets and bankfiles back and forth “with their payroll provider (and their accountant, if they have one).”
Since these payroll services aren’t connected to an HR system, those same businesses have to manually “update any changes to their employees’ data, like salaries, leave and deductions.”
If they don’t make these updates in time, those items “aren’t reconciled until the following pay period. By the time funds hit your employees’ bank account, it’s often 10-15 days later than when you started. Needless to say, this process is rigid, error-prone and incredibly slow. And if you’re the one managing it, it’s stressful, too.”
Outsourcing payroll and HR also “limits your reporting. Your workforce data lives outside of your company, fragmented across multiple systems, so you can’t just run a report. Instead, you’re forced to make requests and manually piece together data to understand your own business.”
Payroll is one example. But these limitations “drag down every employee system in UK businesses.”
With technology advancing in so many other fields, how has payroll and HR stayed untouched?
For starters, there is “no all-in-one system in the UK with HR, payroll, benefits, and all the other tools you need to manage your employees. As a result, businesses like yours are forced to use spreadsheet uploads or simple integrations.”
On top of that, no payroll provider in the UK has “automated the movement of funds from their system to your bank to pay your employees.”
This means the current payroll process includes multiple parties “tackling a laborious series of steps, like data entry, manual calculations and file transfers.”
But there’s good news: something better has arrived.
Introducing the UK’s first automated payroll system that runs itself
Rippling Payroll is deeply integrated “with everything that touches payroll, including time tracking, benefits, pension and leave.”
That means all of your employee data, “like salary increases, new starters, hours, deductions, leave and more automatically sync with payroll for a completely seamless experience.”
When it’s time to run payroll, you can “review all of your payroll inputs in a matter of minutes, then click “Run payroll”.”
Rippling automatically calculates your taxes, “pays your employees, and sends taxes to HMRC.”
In other words, you don’t need to “spend days trying to run payroll yourself. You just review and approve, and Rippling runs it for you.”
