Introducing the new Rippling Time

In this article
The schedule is one of the main ways hourly businesses control labor costs.
Every shift decision affects coverage, overtime, employee experience, and payroll. The problem is that building an accurate schedule requires data that lives in multiple systems. Availability and time-off requests live in HCM. Overtime rules and labor costs live in payroll. Managers manually pull that information together before they can publish schedules, and by the time they publish, some of the data is already out of date.
Today we're releasing rebuilt Rippling Time: AI-powered Scheduling, Timesheets, and mobile, all built on the same employee, job, policy, and payroll data that powers the rest of Rippling.

AI-assisted scheduling that reads your workforce data
Rippling generates an AI-assisted schedule draft from your connected employee, job, and payroll data. Input a plain language prompt, a spreadsheet, or a photo of last week's schedule and get a publishable draft. This is not pattern-matching on last week's shifts. It is a schedule built from the availability, time-off, job codes, overtime rules, and labor costs that drive your staffing decisions.

One mobile app for employees and managers
Employees see their next shift, clock in with one tap, see schedule changes, swap shifts, and message managers. Managers see real-time attendance, handle approvals, and edit the schedule from their phone. One app for everyone on the team.
Timesheets that surface exceptions before the payroll deadline
Scheduled shifts and hours worked sit side by side, with missed clock-ins, overtime flags, wrong job codes, and break issues surfaced during review, when there's still time to fix them before payroll runs. Managers edit inline, approve in place, and see a full change history for each time entry. Approved time flows directly into Rippling Payroll, no export required.
One view of the full week
Rippling Time brings together who's scheduled, who's clocked in, who's on break, which approvals are pending, and which time entries need review, all in one place on both desktop and mobile.
The decisions that shape hourly labor happen week by week, shift by shift. Rippling Time connects the scheduling, attendance, and payroll data managers need to build accurate schedules, run the week, and send time to payroll with fewer corrections.
