• Our new embedded analytics overview page is live in Headcount Planning. Now, you can dig into headcount data by position type, level, and time, and apply filters by department and location—reducing spreadsheet work and streamlining common visualizations.

Catch errors in employee break reporting

• We’ve improved the break survey experience to more clearly highlight which breaks are missing.
• Now, Rippling allows employees to manually enter the correct break details.
• Plus, Rippling validates these entries for compliance with break policies.

Track compensation plans with weekly snapshots

• You can now easily access, track, and review changes to compensation plans with automatic weekly plan snapshots.
• You also have the option to take manual snapshots during periods of frequent change, enabling greater control in managing compensation strategies.

Enhance review cycles with index scores

• You can now combine any rating included in their review cycles into a customizable weighted index score.
• These aggregated scores automatically populate in calibration worksheets for all applicable employees, facilitating discussions and enhancing overall review cycle outcomes.

RSVP: Rippling x Carta compensation planning webinar

• Hear from Carta’s comp expert, Josh Steinfeld and Darcy Mackay, Senior VP of People at Rippling as they discuss the hiring outlook for 2025, key changes to comp packages, and tips for using market data to inform your upcoming comp cycle.

We’re making global payroll even simpler across countries

• We’re always expanding the coverage of Rippling for your international teams. Last month we launched:
  • EOR in Malaysia
  • EOR in Pakistan

Automate retroactive payroll calculations

• You no longer need to manually calculate the retroactive pay adjustment when you make a backdated salary change. Now, Rippling will automatically calculate the retroactive pay difference for you to include in the next regular, off-cycle, or correction pay run.

Use Supergroups to automate recurring earnings

• You can now use policies to set up recurring earnings rules for Supergroups. In just a few clicks, you can ensure every remote hire receives a set home office stipend, all full-time employees receive a monthly wellness stipend, and more. Once applied, you’ll see the amount automatically included for eligible employees in each pay run.

We’re enhancing the IT experience

• Introducing the Rippling x Microsoft Active Directory integration: Rippling has expanded our Microsoft partnership to seamlessly sync our HRIS with hybrid Active Directory (AD) instances. This integration streamlines user lifecycle management by automatically creating or suspending AD accounts when employees are onboarded or offboarded in Rippling. Changes to employee attributes like name or title in Rippling will flow downstream to AD, keeping your IT and HR sources of truth in sync.

We’re giving you more control over spend

• Locally issue corporate cards in Canada: Canadian employers can now provide locally-issued cards for Canadian employees. Whether you have an HQ or subsidiary in Canada, you can avoid foreign exchange fees on in-country transactions and pay in the local currency, streamlining spending and reporting.
• Gain greater visibility into company spend: We've added new details like “transaction ID”, “transaction state”, card name, and more to provide greater visibility without needing to open detailed views. Admins can now filter transactions by approved date and category, and we've enabled search functionality in the mappings section for easier navigation.

Up next

We’ll be back next month with our latest and greatest. If you’re curious about what we’re up to next, schedule time with us to get a sneak preview of our platform improvements. See you next month!
