What the Rippling +

Borderless

 Integration Does

  • Unified directory visibility: Borderless-employed workers appear in Rippling's directory alongside direct employees.
  • IT provisioning for EOR workers: Application access can be provisioned through Rippling for Borderless-managed staff.
  • Canadian EOR support: As a Canadian-founded platform, Borderless offers specific depth for Canadian EOR arrangements alongside Rippling's US entity management.
  • Entity transition support: Workers can transition from Borderless EOR to direct Rippling employment as the company establishes its own entity.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Assuming Rippling manages payroll for Borderless workers: Borderless remains employer of record and manages payroll independently; Rippling handles directory and IT provisioning only.
  • Not leveraging Borderless's Canadian EOR depth for Canadian hires: US companies needing to hire in Canada before establishing a Canadian entity can use Borderless specifically for Canadian EOR while keeping their US entity in Rippling.
  • Not planning the entity transition path: Companies growing in Canada or other countries benefit from documenting the Borderless-to-entity transition in advance.
  • Skipping IT provisioning configuration for Borderless workers: Provisioning rules need explicit setup to cover Borderless-employed workers or they can be missed entirely.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

We configure directory sync so Borderless-employed workers appear in Rippling's unified employee view, giving managers visibility into the full team regardless of employment structure.

We set up IT provisioning so Borderless workers get appropriate application access through Rippling, while employment and compliance remain with Borderless as employer of record.

For US companies using Borderless specifically for Canadian hires, we ensure the cross-border configuration reflects the distinct employment and payroll treatment for each entity.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Borderless is a Canadian-founded EOR and global hiring platform with strong North American coverage, making it a natural fit for companies hiring across Canada and internationally.

Canadian and cross-border operations: As a Canadian-founded platform, Borderless has particular depth in Canadian EOR; companies with both US entities in Rippling and Canadian hires via Borderless benefit from thePeopleStack's cross-border configuration expertise.
