Rippling

Introducing the new Rippling Time

Rippling releases rebuilt Rippling Time with AI-powered scheduling, timesheets, and mobile tools that use connected employee, job, policy, and payroll data. It helps managers draft schedules, review exceptions before payroll, and manage the full week in one view.

AI-assisted scheduling that reads your workforce data

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that information together before they can publish schedules, and by the time they publish, some of the data is already out of date.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.

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.

AI

Recruiters can now view a more detailed candidate summary in Find Talent candidate profiles, including role-specific hiring criteria, criterion-level match indicators, AI highlights, and an overall score. This helps teams assess fit faster using the requirements defined for the role. (Released: 2 July 2026, Recruiters and Hiring Managers)

Automations

Admins can now import and export volunteers through theCSVemployee import workflow by setting the worker type to Volunteer. This makes it easier to manage volunteer records at scale without changing existing employee import behaviour. (Released: 1 July 2026, All regions)

HR Rostering & Timesheets

Employees and managers can now subscribe published shifts to Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or Apple Calendar. This makes it easier to view work schedules alongside personal commitments and plan ahead. (Released: 1 July 2026, All regions)

Admins can now manage timesheet submission and clocking permissions from a central timesheet settings page. This reduces setup friction and helps ensure employees have the correct timesheet and clocking access from one place. (Released: 29 June 2026, Global audience)

ITOps & Security

Jobs site login sessions are now blocked from accessing sensitive HR data such as payroll and personal records. This strengthens account security by preventing career site access from being used to reach protected employee information. (Released: 29 June 2026, All global organisations and employees)

Payroll users can now register, manage, and sign in with passkeys in theEHWork app. This improves login security and brings payroll users into line with the existing passkey experience for HR users. (Released: 29 June 2026, PayrollEHWork users)

Restricted access payroll users can now be granted access to the Security Dashboard to view security settings and manage 2FA andSSOconfiguration. This allows businesses to give the right users access without requiring full payroll permissions. (Released: 30 June 2026, Payroll Web Users)

Leave

Leave information and request actions are now available in a dedicated employee profile section, making it easier to view balances, history, and requests in one place. This new experience improves navigation and helps users manage leave more efficiently. (Released: 8 July 2026 for SEA organisations, MY andSG)

OpenAPI & Developer Experience

Developers can now archive or unarchive goals and submit goal health check-ins through new OpenAPI endpoints. This gives teams more flexibility to manage goal progress from external systems and BI tools. (Released: 29 June 2026, Integration engineers and developers)

Hero AI can now use an organisation’s company values when generating feedback, guidance, and performance-related responses. This makes AI answers more relevant by grounding them in what each organisation values most. (Released: 26 June 2026, Platinum, Plus, Unlimited, Elite)

Performance Reviews on mobile now include improved navigation, global search support, PDF viewing, better text input behaviour, and a range of interface improvements. These updates make reviews easier to find, complete, and manage on the go. (Released: 30 June 2026, Global, Premium, Platinum, Plus, Unlimited, Engage, Elite)

Platform Experience

The latestEHWork app phased rollout includes improvements to passkeys, bug reporting, timesheet settings, performance reviews, staff directory, org chart, chat stability, and security protections. (Released: 29 June 2026,EHWork users)

EHWork users can now report bugs immediately after taking a screenshot in the app, or at any time through a manual bug reporting flow in their profile. Screenshots are automatically attached to make issue reporting faster and clearer. (Released: 29 June 2026,EHWork users, HR and HR+Payroll only)

Staff Directory and Org Chart inEHWork now include refreshed profile cards and quick long-press actions for contacting or recognising colleagues. This makes it faster to find people and take action directly from the directory experience. (Released: 29 June 2026,EHWork users, HR and HR+Payroll only)

Payroll

Partner and brand admins can now impersonate authorised customer users directly from the Partner Dashboard. This helps partners investigate issues faster without needing to rely on support for initial troubleshooting. (Released: 3 July 2026, Partner admins and brand admins)

Recruitment

Recruitment teams can now use HeroFlow workflows to automate candidate acknowledgements, custom emails, and hiring notifications based on key recruitment events. This helps reduce manual follow-up and improves consistency in candidate communications. (Released: 29 June 2026, Platinum, Elite, and Unlimited ATS customers)

Recruiters can now bulk import candidate databases into Talent Pool usingCSV, including column mapping, duplicate review, merge options, and background processing for larger files. This makes it easier to migrate candidates from spreadsheets or other ATS platforms. (Released: 26 June 2026, Recruitment admins on Premium, Platinum, Plus, Unlimited, Engage, Elite)

Screening questions entered earlier in the job creation or edit flow now automatically pre-fill into Seek additional fields. This removes repetitive copy-and-paste work and speeds up job setup. (Released: 29 June 2026, Recruitment users)

Deel

What's coming to Deel in July

Deel releases a broad wave of AI-powered automation and workflow upgrades across HR, payroll, contractor, IT, and platform tools, including smarter Slack answers, automated document reviews, improved reviews and surveys, faster payroll and expense workflows, and cleaner admin controls.

On July 8th, Deel is shifting from manual workflows to intelligent automation.

We are introducing AI-driven agents to handle routine tasks—like contract duplication and life event document review—alongside deeper controls that put decision-making power directly into your team's hands.

These updates are designed to strip away the operational "noise," allowing your team to focus on high-impact strategic work rather than administrative cleanup.

Here's everything that's changing, and what your team needs to do before it lands.

Deel HR

Get context-aware answers in Slack

The Deel Plugin Slack app now runs on a more advanced conversational AI endpoint with thread-aware context, role-scoped personalization for validated users, and response quality indicators.

What this means for you:
Workers get answers scoped to their role and org context directly in Slack—no ticket, no documentation hunt. Managers get fewer pings for information Deel already holds.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If your workers already use the Deel Plugin in Slack, no relearning required—the upgrade happens behind the scenes.

Engage

Improve retention with conversational learning

Admins can now create AI-driven learning formats where employees engage in guided conversations with an AI—teaching, quizzing, coaching, or role-playing to help learners practise a skill or master a topic.

What this means for you:
L&D teams can build learning that actually adapts to each person. Admins set the topic and objective, the AI runs the session—and workers engage with it rather than scroll past it.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed to access the feature, but plan ahead: decide which topics suit a conversational format before building your first experience.

Surface nuanced data with conditional surveys

HR teams can now build surveys with conditional logic, showing different follow-up questions based on previous answers.

What this means for you:
Employees only see questions that are relevant to them, and HR gets richer data without making surveys longer. A disengagement survey that branches on "why" gets more honest answers than one that asks everyone the same thing.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. It's worth revisiting any survey you're planning to send soon to see where branching could improve it.

Compare employees with consistent score metrics

The Final Score is now visible across all four insight views—Heatmap, Box View, Radar Chart, and Distribution.

What this means for you:
One consistent score across every analytical view. No more reconciling different metrics depending on where you're looking.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The Final Score column appears automatically in Heatmap and as a selectable dimension in the other three views.

Ground calibration in weighted composite scores

The calibration flow now supports Final Score, letting calibrators adjust the composite score directly. Both the original and calibrated values are shown in the breakdown modal.

What this means for you:
Calibration sessions are grounded in the same weighted score employees will see—not raw averages that don't reflect how your org prioritizes different competencies. Conversations get sharper.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Select "Final Score Calibration" as the calibration type for your next cycle.

Ensure fairness with weighted review scores

Performance review cycles now produce a weighted, normalized Final Score, replacing raw averages. Admins control whether the score is visible to reviewees, and a breakdown panel shows how weights, calibration, and normalization were applied.

What this means for you:
HR leaders have a single, weighted score that everyone works from—no spreadsheet exports to recalculate, no reconciling different numbers across tools. Consistent, auditable, and visible to the right people.

How you can prepare:
Decide whether reviewees should see their Final Score before your next cycle — the visibility toggle defaults to off, so you'll need to turn it on if you want it shown.

Increase completion rates with unified navigation

The Reviews landing page has been redesigned with a unified entry point for managers, workers, and clients, consolidating review lists across all roles.

What this means for you:
Employees find their review cycle immediately, managers know exactly where to go, and HR fields fewer "where do I find this" questions. Completion rates improve because the friction is gone.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If you've shared instructions or bookmarks pointing to the old Reviews navigation, update them once this lands.

HRIS

Reduce support noise with Slack expense tracking

Workers can now check their expense status directly in Slack, with an "Action required" default filter surfacing items that need attention immediately.

What this means for you:
Workers can check their reimbursement status directly in Slack, where they already are. The default filter surfaces what needs action immediately—no emailing HR, no digging for it.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Give your team a heads-up that expense status is now visible directly in Slack so they know where to look first.

Secure data with granular manager permissions

Admins can now define exactly what worker-level data managers can view, configuring access at the data field level.

What this means for you:
Managers see exactly what they need to do their job, configured at the field level—without a new role being created every time the scope is slightly different. Data governance becomes precise, not binary.

How you can prepare:
Navigate to Org Settings → Access & Permissions → Worker App → Manager Role Edit to configure manager permissions.

Deel Payroll

Centralize out-of-cycle payroll requests

Deel Payroll and PEO clients can now submit out-of-cycle payroll requests directly from the Submission Form, alongside in-cycle requests.

What this means for you:
In-cycle and out-of-cycle requests go through the same interface—the Deel Communication Center. One place for everything, no workarounds.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Submit your next out-of-cycle request through the Submission Form instead of any workaround channel you've used previously.

Process expenses independently across entities

Admins at Deel Payroll organizations with mixed entity mapping states can now submit expenses independently, without waiting for every entity to be fully configured.

What this means for you:
Multi-entity payroll teams can submit expenses for any entity independently, regardless of where others are in the configuration process. Each entity runs on its own timeline.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If you've been holding off on submissions while waiting for full entity mapping, you can proceed as soon as this lands.

Accelerate payroll grid workflows

Payroll admins can now sort employees by first or last name, access employee details from a bottom-sheet drawer, and navigate the grid with enhanced keyboard support. Copy consistency and unit clarity have also been improved.

What this means for you:
Month-end close in the payroll grid takes fewer clicks and less context switching. The bottom-sheet drawer brings employee detail inline—no more leaving the grid to look something up.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed, but expect the grid to look a little different. If your team has a documented payroll close process, a quick walkthrough of the new controls before your next cycle is worthwhile.

Employer of Record

Automate policy-compliant per diem claims

A dynamic, integrated per diem calculator is now available for EOR clients and employees, with country-specific rates and policy logic. Submissions using the calculator are automatically approved.

What this means for you:
Employees submit per diem claims through a calculator that already knows the right rates. Reviewers get submissions that are policy-compliant on arrival—no manual lookups, no queries back to the claimant.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Per diem rates are kept up to date automatically, but it's worth a quick check in Admin to confirm the rates in your active countries match your current policy.

Contractor

Automate contract creation

An AI Contract Creation Agent can now duplicate existing contracts during the creation flow, smart-filling fields from a prior agreement so clients aren't re-entering data for similar hires.

What this means for you:
Teams that onboard contractors into the same role or country repeatedly get a head start—the agent fills the fields from a prior agreement, and your team reviews and confirms rather than starting from scratch.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The duplication option appears in the contract creation flow—try it the next time you're setting up a contract similar to one you've created before.

Streamline compliance with pre-approved clauses

Client admins can now self-serve pre-approved, country-specific clause selection during Contractor of Record contract creation—no need to loop in your account team or legal for standard exceptions.

What this means for you:
Legal is out of the loop on standard contract exceptions—they're pre-approved at the org level. Your team selects them directly, and legal's time goes to the decisions that genuinely need them.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Worth letting your legal team know this exists, so they're not still being routed standard clause requests out of habit.

Expense Management

Action reimbursements directly with manager filters

Line managers can now approve or deny individual reimbursement requests from the detail view, with a new filter and search to surface what needs attention.

What this means for you:
Line managers can approve or deny reimbursement requests directly, without escalating to finance. Finance gets more time for the decisions that actually need them.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Let your line managers know they now have approval authority in the detail view, so they're not still routing requests to finance out of habit. If they haven't already, now is a good time to download the Deel mobile app— approvals are available directly from their phone.

Deel IT

Automate support invoicing and management

Clients can now manage and view 24/7 Tech Support enrolment directly on the platform, with enrolment data feeding into invoicing automatically.

What this means for you:
IT admins have full visibility of 24/7 Tech Support enrolment on-platform, and finance teams get invoicing that reflects it automatically—no manual reconciliation.

How you can prepare:
Review your current 24/7 Tech Support enrolment list once this is live—it's now visible directly on the platform.

Eliminate ordering rework with data persistence

The device preconfiguration flow now runs on a backend-driven eligibility model with a mandatory confirmation toggle and persistent data records across orderers, IT admins, and warehouse operators.

What this means for you:
Everyone in the ordering chain sees reliable, real-time preconfiguration eligibility. Consistent state means no rework from mismatched information.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Orderers, IT admins, and warehouse operators will see the updated flow automatically next time they place or process an order.

Reduce hardware returns with visibility control

Clients can now hide specific keyboard variants from the worker-facing catalogue, enabling device reuse across regions with different keyboard layouts.

What this means for you:
IT teams managing multi-region hardware programs avoid workers ordering region-incompatible variants, reducing returns and reprocessing at scale.

How you can prepare:
If you manage device policies across regions, review your worker-facing catalogues once this is live and hide any keyboard variants that don't apply locally.

Centralize endpoint protection setup

Clients can now complete CrowdStrike setup entirely within Deel.

What this means for you:
IT teams deploying CrowdStrike across a Deel-managed fleet complete the full setup in one place — no platform switching, with a persistent configuration record.

How you can prepare:
If you're planning a CrowdStrike rollout, set it up through the in-platform flow instead of going directly to CrowdStrike.

Deel Platform

Speed up authority verification with eSignatures

Clients can now use Deel's in-house eSignature utility for Proof of Authority requests, replacing the off-platform process.

What this means for you:
Key persons sign PoA documents without anyone else handling it for them. The CDD process moves faster, and compliance teams get an audit trail without chasing DocuSign threads.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Let your compliance team know this option exists—they may still be defaulting to the old off-platform process.

Ensure bulk edit precision with flow selection

Clients managing workers with multiple contracts now get a clear flow selection at the start of Bulk Edit—choose between editing worker profile data or contract-level data—before any changes are submitted.

What this means for you:
Admins confirm the exact scope of a bulk edit before anything is submitted—worker profile data or contract-level data, primary or non-primary. No more discovering the change landed in the wrong place after the fact.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If your team runs Bulk Edit regularly, the first run after July 8 will look different—take a moment to walk through the new flow selection step before your next scheduled edit.

Improve benefits choices with local context

EOR buyers now see a country-specific educational modal before the Benefits step, with clearer context on what's available.

What this means for you:
HR teams onboarding EOR employees in new countries get country-specific benefits context before the decision point—so choices are better informed from the start, not revised after the fact.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The modal appears automatically before the Benefits step for new EOR hires.

Analyze spending with category dashboards

A new "Spending Patterns" dashboard aggregates historical reimbursement data by category, giving clients a view of expense trends over time.

What this means for you:
Finance and HR ops teams get a clear view of expense trends by category, directly in Deel — no exports needed. Patterns that were invisible in one-off reports become visible at a glance.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. It pulls from your existing reimbursement history, so it's worth a look as soon as it lands rather than waiting for your next policy review.

Localize contract amendment templates

HR admins using Deel Payroll can now select a language for contract amendment templates, generating amendments in the employee's preferred language.

What this means for you:
HR teams managing non-English-speaking workforces select the language in the amendment flow and the document arrives ready to sign—no separate translation step, no parallel document workflow.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The language selector appears automatically in the amendment flow—worth flagging to HR admins before your next amendment run.

Navigate workers faster with arrow controls

Client admins can now move directly between worker profiles using arrow navigation, without returning to the main list between each profile.

What this means for you:
Sequential profile reviews—onboarding checks, audit cycles, performance processes—move faster. Arrow through records directly without returning to the list each time.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Worth mentioning to anyone on your team who regularly reviews profiles back-to-back.

Identify high-risk contractors instantly

A shield icon now appears on invoice rows where the contractor is based in a high-risk country, giving immediate compliance visibility during invoice review.

What this means for you:
Finance and compliance teams get compliance visibility inline during invoice review—a shield icon on the row, no separate report to cross-reference.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If your finance team handles contractor invoice review, give them a heads-up so the new shield icon doesn't come as a surprise.

Distribute salary across multiple bank accounts

Employees can now distribute their salary across multiple bank accounts directly through the Workday GPC integration.

What this means for you:
Enterprise clients who've been managing salary splits outside of Deel bring that process back on-platform. One less thing maintained in a separate system.

How you can prepare:
Available for Workday DCoD integrations now, with others rolling out later. If you've been splitting pay outside of Deel, this is a good time to move it back on-platform.

Sync high invoice volumes instantly

Accounting integration users can now sync all invoices matching their active filter in a single action.

What this means for you:
Finance teams running large monthly syncs can clear them in a single action. Filter to what you need, sync everything at once.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The option appears once you've filtered and selected a full page of invoices—easiest to find during your next sync run.

Control finance module access at scale

Parent organization admins can now toggle Finance module visibility for all child organizations with a single control.

What this means for you:
Admins managing multi-entity structures can ensure each child org only sees what's relevant to them. One toggle removes the Finance module where it doesn't belong.

How you can prepare:
This is a toggle, not an automatic change—parent org admins need to actively turn off Finance module visibility for any child organizations where it doesn't apply.

Discover and connect SSO integrations

SSO and provisioning apps—including Okta, Google, and JumpCloud—are now visible and accessible in the Deel App Store.

What this means for you:
IT admins can discover and connect SSO integrations directly from the Deel App Store. No need to go elsewhere.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If your team has been managing SSO setup elsewhere, check the App Store first next time.

Automate manager information syncing

Clients using a Deel HRIS GP integration can now automate the syncing of manager information, eliminating double data entry.

What this means for you:
HR ops teams maintain manager hierarchies in one place. Update your HRIS and Deel reflects it automatically.

How you can prepare:
Applies if you're using a Deel HRIS GP integration. No setup needed, a good moment to consolidate manager data into a single source of truth.

Reveal liquidity options at withdrawal

Contractors and EOR employees now see their Deel Advance eligibility immediately after making a withdrawal.

What this means for you:
Workers who need liquidity after a withdrawal find out about Advance at the right moment, not buried in a menu they'd never think to visit.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. This is entirely worker-facing.

Mitigate misclassification with liability warnings

Clients about to assume direct liability for a contractor now see a contextual warning at the exact moment of decision, with a one-click path to switch to a Contractor of Record contract.

What this means for you:
Risk and operations teams catch the decisions most likely to create misclassification exposure before they're confirmed, not after the contract is live.

How you can prepare:
NNo configuration needed. If your team manages entity selection for contractors, expect to see this warning appear at that step going forward.

Fix bulk edit errors with AI validation

An AI layer in Bulk Edit now handles auto-correction, async pre-validation, and AI-powered suggestions before bulk changes are submitted.

What this means for you:
HR admins catch and fix bulk edit errors before submission—failed imports, wrong values, broken records are surfaced by AI before anything is committed.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The AI suggestions surface automatically during your existing Bulk Edit workflow.

Clear amendment backlogs with mass approval

Enterprise clients can now approve EOR amendments in bulk instead of one at a time.

What this means for you:
HR ops teams can clear EOR amendment backlogs in minutes rather than working through them individually. Particularly useful during compensation cycles or policy changes.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If you have amendments queued up, it's worth waiting for this to land before processing them individually.

Automate life event document reviews

An AI agent now reviews documents submitted for qualifying life events, handling clear-cut cases end to end and routing only uncertain submissions for manual review.

What this means for you:
Routine qualifying life event documents are reviewed and approved automatically. Your HR team's attention goes to the cases that genuinely need human judgment.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Uncertain cases still route to your team, so existing escalation processes stay in place.

What’s shipped over this past month

Not every release waits for the calendar. These features are already shipped, and they run on the same logic as the main batch: AI taking on sourcing and screening work that used to sit with a person, and a string of fixes that improve your Deel experience.

Deel HR

Get instant answers with AI Analytics

Clients can now ask workforce questions in plain English and get a report back in seconds. Type a question about headcount, payroll spend, or hiring pace directly in Deel HR—no BI ticket, no analyst, no waiting.

What this means for you:
HR and people teams get answers to workforce questions on the spot. Ask in plain English, get a structured report back in seconds—the same day, not the same week.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Analytics AI is already available in your Deel HR account, try it next time you'd normally raise a report request.

Compensation

Update conversion rates in bulk directly

Admins across Deel's HR product suite can now access and manage the currency conversion table, with bulk changes available via CSV.

What this means for you:
Compensation and Workforce Planning teams can update conversion rates in bulk via CSV—directly, without waiting on engineering.

How you can prepare:
Review your current conversion rates once this is live, you can now update them in bulk via CSV instead of one at a time.

ATS

Enable faster debriefs with AI summaries

Deel's AI records, transcribes, and generates structured summaries of every interview, available immediately after the call. Candidates are notified and can opt out.

What this means for you:
Hiring managers focus on the conversation during interviews, and structured summaries are ready immediately after—so debriefs are sharper and faster.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Let your hiring panels know interviews will be recorded and summarized automatically, and that candidates are notified and can opt out.

Cut time-to-first-candidate with AI sourcing

AI external sourcing surfaces candidates from connected external sources based on role criteria, delivering a shortlist before manual search begins.

What this means for you:
Recruiters open a new requisition and find a shortlist already waiting, generated against their criteria. They refine from there rather than building from zero.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Try it on your next hard-to-fill role before starting manual sourcing.

Stop copy-pasting with multi-board posting

ATS users can publish a role once and have it distributed instantly to 1,000+ connected job boards. Applicants flow directly into the Deel pipeline with no manual imports.

What this means for you:
Recruiting teams publish once and reach job boards automatically. Every applicant lands in the Deel pipeline. No manual imports, no copy-pasting listings.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Publish your next open role through Deel’s ATS as usual—multi-board distribution now happens automatically.

Deel Payroll

Manage US tax agency registrations centrally

PEO and Deel Payroll (US) clients can manage all US tax agency registrations from a single centralized hub, covering requirements for each legal entity.

What this means for you:
Payroll and compliance teams manage all US tax agency registrations from a single hub, with proactive flagging of anything missing before it becomes a penalty.

How you can prepare:
Review the hub once it's live and check for any flagged registrations.

Trace revenue with decoupled offboarding fees

Payroll managers can now trigger offboarding fee charges at termination confirmation, fully decoupled from payroll cycles.

What this means for you:
Offboarding fees are charged at termination confirmation—fully traceable and decoupled from payroll run timing.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Offboarding fees will now appear at termination confirmation—factor that into offboarding budgeting going forward.

Support pay transparency with band permissions

Admins can now grant workers scoped, view-only access to job structure data and pay ranges.

What this means for you:
Organizations moving toward pay transparency can open up job level and band information on their own terms, without giving broader access than intended. Recruiters can include ranges in job postings; managers in Workforce Planning see costs when making decisions.

How you can prepare:
Admins need to grant the scoped access before workers can see job structure data and pay ranges. Worth prioritizing if pay transparency is on your roadmap, including any work toward the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

Browse large workforces faster with rebuilt lists

The People List has been rebuilt to address performance issues and simplify the UI.

What this means for you:
Admins managing large workforces get noticeably faster load times and a cleaner experience in the People List.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. You'll see the updated People List automatically next time you open it.

Support compliance with worker compensation code assignment

EOR clients can now assign Worker Compensation codes to US DFS field and onsite contracts.

What this means for you:
Organizations with field workers in DFS-regulated states can assign Worker Compensation codes at the contract level directly in Deel—accurate, traceable, and in the right place.

How you can prepare:
If you have US DFS field or onsite contracts, review them once this is live to confirm the correct code is assigned.

Resolve tax implications with gross-up actions

EOR clients and employees can now request a gross-up on expenses and choose to reclassify them as a taxable allowance. Reviewers choose from three options: approve without gross-up, approve with gross-up, or approve and reclassify.

What this means for you:
Payroll teams handle international expense reimbursements with tax implications end-to-end in Deel—with three reviewer actions available in one place.

How you can prepare:
Pay codes for grossed-up or reclassified expenses can be configured ahead of time so requests process automatically—contact your payroll support team to set this up.

Deel IT

Submit support requests via email intake

Clients can now submit 24/7 support requests by emailing the support inbox and receive automatic confirmations, with requests tracked and routed.

What this means for you:
Employees who prefer email have a direct intake channel that works. Requests are confirmed, tracked, and routed correctly—regardless of whether they used the portal.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Let your team know they can now email the 24/7 support inbox directly.

Deel Platform

Correct statements at the line level

Enterprise clients can now remove individual invoices from a payment statement that's already been created and is awaiting payment, without cancelling the entire statement.

What this means for you:
Finance teams can correct a single invoice on a statement without cancelling and rebuilding the whole thing. Fix the line, leave the rest.

How you can prepare:
Next time you need to correct a statement, look for the line-level edit option instead of cancelling.

Reduce risk with automated wallet screening

Every crypto wallet added on Deel is now automatically screened against sanctions lists at the point of entry.

What this means for you:
Compliance teams get automatic sanctions screening on every crypto wallet at the point of entry—no manual checks needed.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Screening runs automatically the next time a wallet is added.

Sync custom Workday fields automatically

Integration admins can now define field override paths directly in Workday GPC settings, enabling custom and calculated fields to sync into Deel automatically.

What this means for you:
Custom Workday fields—like cost category or company-country code—now sync into Deel automatically. Manual workarounds are no longer needed.

How you can prepare:
Contact your Customer Success Manager to enable this for your account, then use the mapping interface to configure the relevant fields.

Reduce E-Verify rejections with compliant paths

The I-9 process now covers every common US immigration status with a complete, USCIS-compliant path.

What this means for you:
US HR and onboarding teams see fewer rejected E-Verify submissions and spend less time on manual fixes for each one.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The expanded document support is already live for new I-9 submissions.

Improve accuracy with automated key person prefill

The UBO prefill within CDD now draws on additional data sources, significantly improving the completeness and accuracy of key person data at onboarding.

What this means for you:
Legal and compliance teams get more complete UBO data pre-populated at onboarding—less manual research, fewer follow-up requests for missing information.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. You'll notice more complete prefill data the next time you go through CDD for a new entity.

Reconcile invoices automatically with PBC allocation

Prepaid Billing Credits are now automatically allocated across all entities under their respective products. Pending invoices covered by existing credits are re-issued automatically.

What this means for you:
Prepaid Billing Credits are allocated automatically across entities. Finance and billing ops teams get accurate invoicing without tracking and applying credits by hand.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. If you have pending invoices that should be covered by existing credits, check your billing dashboard—they may already be reissuing.

Access financial tools faster on mobile

Workers get a refreshed home screen with an updated layout and a new top-level Wallet and Finance navigation item.

What this means for you:
Workers find financial tools immediately from the Deel home screen. Wallet and Finance is a top-level navigation item—no secondary menus to navigate.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Workers see the updated homepage the next time they open the Deel Mobile app.

Clean workspaces by dismissing onboarding prompts

All client users—including HRIS-only and IT-only users—can now dismiss the onboarding widget at user level.

What this means for you:
Teams that are fully set up get a clean workspace. Each user can dismiss the onboarding widget individually when it's no longer relevant to them.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Each user can dismiss the widget individually.

Track multi-product implementations centrally

A new centralized Onboarding page in Org Settings gives admins a single view of progress across all products.

What this means for you:
Admins running multi-product rollouts get a single view of onboarding progress across Deel IT, HRIS, Payroll, and EOR—all in one place in Org Settings.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. Check Org Settings for the new centralized Onboarding page next time you want an implementation status update.

Speed up contract signing on mobile

The contracts review and signing experience on the Deel Mobile app has been rebuilt for a cleaner, faster flow.

What this means for you:
Workers signing contracts on mobile get a more reliable experience—fewer drop-offs, fewer delays at the signing stage.

How you can prepare:
No configuration needed. The updated flow appears automatically next time a worker reviews or signs a contract on mobile.

Introducing Rippling Data Cloud: AI-powered BI that understands your workforce

Rippling launches Data Cloud, a new suite that connects company data to worker identity and historical context for AI-powered analytics, dashboards, connectors, transformations, cataloging, and custom apps. It also adds Snowflake Zero Copy for easier warehouse data use.
Every business question starts with “what,” but the next one almost always starts with “who.”

Who booked the most deals last quarter? Which support managers have the fastest resolution times? Which engineering teams have the greatest code velocity? Which stores are drifting into overtime? Which employees were on this team when customer complaints spiked?

At first, these sound like questions about bookings, tickets, pull requests, store sales, time tracking, or CSAT. But the answer depends on knowing who the data is about: the employee, their manager, their team, their location, their role, their permissions, and what that all looked like at the time something took place.

This is where traditional BI infrastructure breaks down. Data warehouses are good at storing and querying data, and BI tools are good at visualizing it. But none of that solves the harder problem: connecting business data to the worker identities, org structures, permissions, and historical context needed to produce an accurate answer to a question about your company.

This is nothing new: people have always struggled to work with data that lacks a sturdy wrapper of context. But this issue is newly important because AI is essentially helpless without it.

For years, we've watched our customers struggle to marry the identity data from Rippling with their operational data using systems like Fivetran and Tableau in an attempt to enable useful analysis. But they often failed. First, it's inherently hard to export data while retaining its referential integrity; once flattened, it's just rows in a spreadsheet. As a result, it's hard to produce an analysis that matches the nuance of a given question, so in the end, customers settle for answers to simpler questions than the ones they began with.

Nearly three years ago, we set out to solve this problem for our customers, and today's launch is the result.

Introducing Rippling Data Cloud

Rippling Data Cloud is a new suite of products that aggregates data from across your company into Rippling, connects it to worker identity, and makes it available for analysis, visualization and action. It preserves and enriches data context to enable precise and accurate answers to your most important and nuanced business questions.

It's a complete data stack including data connectors, transformations, visualizations, AI-powered analytics, and even inbound Zero-Copy. It understands how all of that data relates to employees, managers, departments, locations, cost centers, permissions, and historical changes in your ever-changing business. That makes it possible to ask questions that traditional BI systems struggle to answer correctly.

Other options fall short

There are many ways to put AI on top of business data. Most fail because they do not understand the business context behind the data.

To illustrate the concept, consider this business question: how long has it taken new sales reps to close their first deal in each segment over the past four quarters? To answer it correctly, a system needs more than sales data. It needs to know when each rep joined, when they entered a quota-carrying role, which segment they belonged to at the time, who managed them, and which opportunities should count.

Short of asking a data scientist to do the heavy lifting, business users have a few options to answer this question.

Approach | Where it falls short

General-purpose AI tools, like Claude or ChatGPT | MCPs are slow and usually restricted, and CSVs are always forked from the system of record. Because they lack governed definitions and field history, there's simply no way to compute an answer to the sales rep question. (They might confidently provide a wrong one, however.)

AI inside a single vendor system, like Salesforce | These tools better understand their own data, but lack interfaces to third-party systems that expose the full picture around the organization. In the sales rep question, the AI likely treats the current org chart as static in time; this yields a misleading answer, because orgs always change.

AI inside a data warehouse, like Snowflake AI | Configured correctly, a warehouse AI can query tables from across the business, but it has no privileged view of any particular class of data (sales, HR, etc). Those have to be modeled manually before the AI can answer people-related business questions correctly, including in our sales rep example. It's possible, but the juice isn't usually worth the data science squeeze.

Beyond the challenges of joining and interpreting data, these systems struggle with permissions and governance both in their ability to access data, and their ability to share their output.

Everything starts from worker identity

Rippling started as an HCM, which makes it uniquely capable of understanding identity data: who works at the company, whom they report to, what they can access, what team they belong to, where they are located, what they do, and how all of that changes over time.

But this data is useful far beyond HR. A GitHub pull request has an author. A Salesforce opportunity has an owner. A helpdesk ticket has an assignee. A point-of-sale transaction has a cashier. A device has an employee. A payroll run has workers, departments, locations, and managers attached to it. Once those records are connected to worker identity, business data becomes easier to analyze, easier to govern, and easier to act on.

Rippling Data Cloud uses that identity layer across the entire stack: data ingestion, cataloging, transformations, history, dashboards, AI, and custom applications.

What we're launching

Rippling Data Cloud includes every component needed to run a complete AI-powered BI stack from managed connectors up to visualization and collaboration. It's a just-add-water approach that simplifies data analysis for every user in your company.

Dashboards

Rippling AI generates charts and dashboards with trusted, reusable components and inspectable SQL from natural-language prompts. Users can also build classic dashboards with charts, filters, pivots, calculated fields, and saved views. BI is different inside Rippling because dashboards inherit the context of the platform. For example, a manager can see the same dashboard as another manager, but automatically scoped to their own team. A user can drill from a chart into the employees, devices, opportunities, tickets, or other records behind the number. Unlike dashboards in standalone BI tools, which are disconnected reporting artifacts, Rippling Dashboards become a live navigation layer over the business. Read the full article on BI and Dashboards.

Data Connectors

Data Connectors bring third-party business data into Rippling, preserving and enriching the context that makes it useful. Traditional ETL tools move data from one system to another, but leave teams to rebuild joins, permissions, metadata, object relationships, and worker identity mappings by hand. Rippling Data Connectors do that work automatically: they import data from systems like CRMs, support tools, finance systems, and other warehouses, then map that data into Rippling Custom Objects. That means a GitHub pull request, support ticket, sales opportunity, or point-of-sale transaction lands already connected to the right employee, manager, team, permissions model, and business context. The result is data that is immediately easier to analyze with AI, govern through Data Catalog, reuse in Transformations, and put to work in dashboards, workflows, and Custom Apps. Read the full article on Data Connectors.

Transformations

Transformations turns raw business data into governed, reusable datasets. Instead of letting every dashboard, SQL query, spreadsheet, or AI prompt define metrics slightly differently, Transformations gives companies a central place to encode the logic behind the metrics you use, like revenue, margin, store performance, customer risk, or whatever else matters to a given operation. Analysts can write SQL directly, business users can use Rippling AI to help define and refine logic, and the resulting datasets can be reused across Dashboards, AI answers, workflows, and Custom Apps. Read the full article on Transformations.

Data Catalog and Lineage

Data Catalog gives Rippling Data Cloud and Rippling AI a map of your business data. It is the central inventory for every data object in Rippling, including native Rippling data, data from Data Connectors, Transformations, and external warehouse data. For analysts, it makes data easier to find, understand, trust, and govern, with searchable documentation, lineage, usage metadata, and field-level permissions. For AI, it is even more important: the Catalog gives Rippling the context it needs to choose the right objects, fields, joins, filters, and business definitions when answering questions. Read the full article on Data Catalog and Lineage.

History

Object History lets Rippling Data Cloud answer historical business questions without projecting today's org chart backward. Most business analysis is really asking what was true at a specific point in time: whom someone reported to, what team they were on, when their role changed, what workflow ran, who approved a change, or which org structure applied when a metric moved. Object History makes that context queryable across Rippling, so reports, dashboards, Transformations, workflows, Custom Apps, and Rippling AI can reason from the actual historical state of the business. Although many business questions look like they're about revenue, payroll, support volume, or headcount, they're really questions about people in time: who did what, when did they do it, and what was true about the business around them at that moment. Read the full article on History.

Custom Apps

Custom Apps let teams build company-specific software on top of the data inside Rippling. Dashboards show you what's happening, but most business problems still require a process: an approval, an exception review, a payroll adjustment, a remediation workflow, or a record that someone needs to update. Custom Apps use the same data, permissions, workflows, and object model that power the rest of Rippling. That means a Salesforce opportunity, Brivo badge-in, Mindbody class record, or Litmos certification can become part of an application inside Rippling, not just a row in a report. Data can trigger workflows, route for approval, update records, stage payroll changes, and give teams a structured interface for the process itself. Read the full article on Custom Apps.

Snowflake Zero Copy

Zero Copy for Snowflake lets companies use warehouse data inside Rippling Data Cloud without building custom pipelines. Data from Snowflake can appear in Rippling as external objects, where it can be joined to worker identity, governed by Rippling permissions, surfaced in the Data Catalog, and used by Rippling AI, Dashboards, and Transformations. Your warehouse remains the source of truth, but Rippling adds the worker identity, org context, permissions, and history needed to answer business questions that depend on who did what, when, and where they sat in the business. Read the full article on Snowflake Zero Copy.

A new era for business intelligence

Rippling Data Cloud, together with Rippling AI, unlocks a new frontier of analytical capabilities. Answer questions about the who behind every what. Better understand your company's performance dynamics across sales, engineering, and operations using only a conversational interface. Rippling Data Cloud will instantly become a mainstay of every data-driven leader.

Rippling Data Cloud: Data Catalog

Rippling launches Data Catalog in Rippling Data Cloud, giving users a central place to inspect, govern, and understand every data object. It adds unified search, lineage, permissions, metadata enrichment, and AI context for smarter analytics across native, connected, transformed, and external data.
What is Data Catalog?

As part of today’s Rippling Data Cloud announcement, we launched Data Catalog, which allows users to inspect, govern, and understand every data object in Rippling Data Cloud, across native Rippling data, connected apps, Transformations, and external warehouse data. This gives both analysts and Rippling AI the context they need to find the right data, understand what it means, and trace where and how it is used.

Data Catalog is the central inventory of every data object in Rippling Data Cloud, across native Rippling data, Custom Objects, Transformations, and connected external data. It is a critical component to enabling AI-driven data analysis, as it answers the questions:

What data do we have?

What does the data mean?

Who is allowed to use the data?

Where did the data come from?

What workflows, views, dashboards, or derived datasets depend on the data?

Data Catalog turns Rippling Data Cloud into a governed, navigable data system for human users and AI.

Rippling AI needs a map of your data

When a user asks a question like “how much did we spend on recruiting this month?”, the hard part is not just generating a query. The hard part is knowing which version of “spend” the question refers to, which expense objects are authoritative, which vendors or categories count as recruiting, whether the answer should include invoices, card spend, reimbursements, purchase orders, or payroll allocations, and which fields the user is allowed to access.

In AI analytics, the first step often is mapping a natural-language question to the right objects, fields, joins, filters, grain, and business definitions. Field names alone are not enough. There may be many plausibly useful columns called amount, category, vendor, department, status, or date, each with different meanings. Rippling’s Data Catalog gives AI the context required to make the right selection: object descriptions, field definitions, usage patterns, lineage, relationships, permissions, and business semantics. That context is what allows Rippling AI to stop guessing around a warehouse schema, and instead reason over a governed map of your business.

More data, more problems

As your data estate grows across native Rippling data, third-party systems, and your warehouse, the challenge of simply locating, interpreting, and navigating permissions restrictions becomes massive. In addition to the overloaded column titles, multiple Transformations may exist, adding another dimension of confusion. Some of these Transformations may have been created by employees who have since left the company. Are they still running? How will you interpret what they’re calculating, if you can’t ask the creator? What reports or workflows depend on them? There are many problems that a well-architected central registry like Data Catalog can help solve.

One place for every object

The Data Catalog in Rippling Data Cloud is where every dataset in the system lives, regardless of origin. This includes native Rippling objects, Custom Objects from third-party systems, Transformations, and external objects from Snowflake via Zero Copy Query Federation. All are searchable and organized in a single interface. Human users can search and browse datasets by name, category, or keyword. They can pin frequently-used objects for quick access or browse by logical category, such as Finance, or Devices, or Store Locations, to discover what's available.

Every object and field can include plain-English documentation: what it means, when to use it, and how it relates to the rest of the business. For native Rippling data, many are populated out of the box — a huge leg up for AI analysis on Rippling. For custom data, it is pulled from the source, generated by AI, and can be added/adjusted by admins.

Usage metadata helps the Catalog track which objects are actually being queried in reports, dashboards, and workflows. This identifies what your org relies on versus what was created once and forgotten, which is useful for governance and prioritization.

Lineage from source to use

Data Catalog lets you click any object and see its complete lineage, from end to end: where the data originates (such as a pipeline or connector), how it's been transformed, and where it surfaces in reports or apps. Rippling AI can also directly answer questions about Lineage.

Lineage shows the end-to-end data flow and makes it easy to spot and fix issues

In many data stacks, metadata, lineage, permissions and usage are split across the warehouse, transformation layer, BI tool, and governance system. To consolidate them often requires purchasing yet another tool from yet another vendor. And you still have to traverse through multiple tools to eventually fix the issue. In Rippling, the complete data path is in one view and changing or fixing a pipeline doesn’t require leaving the system.

Data Catalog becomes the working surface for all data management:

View and edit SQL: For objects derived from Transformations, you can view and edit the underlying SQL directly from the Catalog.

Unified across every data type: Most platforms have separate schema browsers or catalog interfaces for different data types. In Rippling, native objects, custom objects, transformed objects, zero copy objects, and managed connector objects all live in the Data Catalog.

Granular permissions management: From the Data Catalog, you can manage who has access to each dataset down to the field level. Permissions are tied to Rippling's role-based model and update automatically.

Automated metadata enrichment: As the data estate grows, Rippling AI generates plain-English descriptions, surfaces representative sample values, and computes basic field statistics. For example, when a Data Connector brings in Salesforce data, the Catalog surfaces readable descriptions of each field, rather than a wall of cryptic API names.

Tagging: Objects can be added to favorites or marked as verified to guide other users and AI on how best to answer a question.

The Catalog as a control panel

For the person responsible for the data estate, the Catalog is the operational interface for all of it. From a single object's Catalog entry, you can navigate directly to the pipeline feeding it, the Transformation shaping it, the reports consuming it, and the permission profiles governing it. It provides full lifecycle visibility without switching tools.

When a data change is planned, such as a new connector or schema update, the Catalog tells you what would break downstream before you make the change. When an audit requires demonstrating data access controls, the Catalog surfaces that directly.

The Catalog and AI make each other better

Data Catalog enables sophisticated field selection for Rippling AI. But it works the other way, too. As the data estate grows, AI automatically generates descriptions for new objects. This means the Catalog gets richer without requiring manual curation for every new dataset. Richer metadata leads to more accurate AI field selection, which leads to more correct answers and drives more usage, improving the Catalog further.

While the Data Catalog is a powerful data discovery and management tool, it’s also the layer that makes every other Rippling Platform capability more intelligent over time.

Rippling Data Cloud: Zero Copy for Snowflake

Rippling launches Zero Copy Query Federation for Snowflake, letting companies connect warehouse data to Rippling Data Cloud without replication. The new native connection brings org-aware permissions, worker context, and AI-ready business data into reports, dashboards, and queries.
What is Zero Copy for Snowflake?

As part of today’s Rippling Data Cloud announcement, we’re launching Zero Copy Query Federation for Snowflake, giving companies a direct way to bring business data into Rippling Data Cloud without having to replicate it. With Zero Copy, you can connect data you have already replicated from systems like sales, finance, support, product, and engineering to the employee data already in Rippling.

Zero Copy is a native data connection between Snowflake and Rippling Data Cloud. Data is continuously available as first-class objects inside Rippling, without the overhead of ETL pipelines.

Zero Copy is an alternative to using traditional Data Connectors, which offer different benefits. Whereas Data Connectors can bring in rich metadata from the source system itself, Zero Copy connections build context directly from the warehouse by analyzing query history, identifying which fields are actively maintained (or deprecated), and sampling real values from each table and field.

The benefits of Rippling-on-top

Using Rippling AI to analyze data via Zero Copy is superior to analyzing that data directly inside Snowflake. A generic BI/AI layer can query data, but it lacks the critical context of Rippling’s worker identities, permissions, historical employment context, and the semantic understanding of workforce fields. Marrying this with sales, finance, or support data allows you to answer real business questions that begin with “who.”

It also democratizes and governs access to data in your warehouse. HRBPs, finance partners, managers, and executives can ask natural-language questions that combine warehouse data with Rippling data without needing Snowflake credentials, schema knowledge, or to make a data-team request.

Other reasons this approach might make sense for your business include:

Rippling can now connect to warehouse data in-place. With a zero copy connection to Snowflake, Rippling can query existing warehouse data without duplicating, migrating, or re-platforming it. These objects appear in the Data Catalog and can be used in reports, dashboards, transformations, and AI queries, just like native Rippling data.

Business data is joined to the worker identities. Companies can connect revenue, product usage, support, finance, or engineering data to employees, teams, managers, departments, locations, and cost centers, which is foundational to good analysis.

Context is enriched. Although Data Connectors do more to enhance the context of data inside Rippling, data available via Zero Copy still gets query-history context, sample values, and information about which fields are most or least populated.

Rippling applies org-aware permissions to warehouse data. Access can be scoped by role, department, reporting line, or permission profile, and updates automatically as people change jobs or managers, even though the data remains in Snowflake.

The result is a new way to use the business data you already have: not as isolated tables in a warehouse, but as employee-aware, permission-aware objects inside Rippling Data Cloud. Your warehouse continues to be the source of truth for business activity; Rippling adds the worker context needed to understand the “who” questions.
