Manage time your way with Rippling’s fully customizable Time & Attendance system
In this article
Over 50% of the US workforce is hourly or project-based, yet many HR leaders are still stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to finding the right technology solution for Time & Attendance.
Generally, you have 2 options, none of which are ideal:
Use a stand-alone T&A provider that can provide a deep level of time tracking functionality, but still spend hours on administrative busywork like reconciling hours with payroll and building employee profiles in two separate systems.
Use a clunky, all-in-one system that integrates T&A with payroll, but lacks the configurability you need to build custom policies unique to your business.
To date, we’ve solved the first problem by partnering with the best T&A solutions out there like Deputy, Tsheets, Homebase, and When I Work. We’ve built deep integrations with them to automatically sync approved hours directly into each payrun and eliminate manual errors.For customers who need specialized products to run their business, we’re invested in continuing to grow our app ecosystem (with over 500+ app partners already) because we know it’s a big reason why you love Rippling.
However, we realize there are a lot of companies out there that desire a fully integrated option. Where employees can clock-in, submit PTO, view their paychecks and W2’s in one single system and that eliminates the administrative headaches multiple systems can create.
That’s why we’ve built Rippling Time & Attendance, to automate the entire employee time tracking process from clock-in to paycheck. It empowers you to create automated workflows that resolve issues before they happen and build custom policies to manage time your way.
Here’s what sets it apart from other T&A systems:
Powerful customization options let you build policies for the way you work
With Rippling, you’re always in control over the rules and logic for time tracking, so you can customize the system to fit your companies’ precise needs — from creating your own custom pay types and job codes to overtime and break policies.
Since Rippling enables you to build out your org chart and company holiday schedule in one place, you can create new policies and have them apply to every employee, without the need to import any new information. You can even configure Rippling to automatically send a notification of the new policy to all employees.
For example, if an employee gets promoted to shift manager and becomes a new approver of time cards, Rippling will automatically change their permissions and grant them the appropriate access once you update your org chart.
Or, in a few clicks you can automatically apply overtime pay anytime an employee works on company holidays, as specified by your holiday calendar in Rippling.
This is going to save accountants so much time during their busiest time of year. With integrated time tracking, Rippling makes even the most complex payroll needs painless. Businesses are going to love the reporting visibility on hours and the automatic notifications when workers exceed their hours
