What the Rippling +

Cintra

 Integration Does

The Rippling–Cintra integration connects Rippling's employee records and HR data with Cintra's UK payroll platform, ensuring UK payroll processing reflects current workforce data from Rippling. Employee hires, compensation changes, and terminations in Rippling sync to Cintra ahead of each UK payroll run.

Cintra is a leading UK payroll and HR platform used by UK mid-market companies and by multinationals managing UK payroll alongside global HR. Connecting it to Rippling centralizes the employee source of truth and eliminates the manual coordination step between HR changes and UK payroll processing.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

Companies using Cintra for UK payroll alongside Rippling for global HR often communicate payroll changes to Cintra through email or spreadsheet rather than through a structured data sync. This creates a risk of missed changes — particularly for variable pay elements and new starter details — ahead of each payroll cutoff.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack maps Rippling's employee and compensation fields to Cintra's data intake structure and configures the sync schedule to align with Cintra's UK payroll processing calendar. We coordinate with your Cintra account team on field requirements for HMRC-specific data elements.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

The Rippling–Cintra integration is for companies managing UK payroll. This is not a Canadian-specific integration. For cross-border operations covering both Canada and the UK, thePeopleStack manages Rippling's Canadian payroll alongside the Cintra UK integration.

FAQs

What is Cintra?

Cintra is a UK payroll and HR platform used by mid-market companies for PAYE payroll processing, Real Time Information (RTI) HMRC submissions, pension auto-enrolment, and UK employee record management.

What Rippling data syncs to Cintra?

Employee name, NI number, job title, department, salary, work location, hire date, and termination events are the core fields that sync from Rippling to Cintra's payroll data structure.

Who is this integration for?

US-headquartered companies with UK employees who use Rippling for global HR and Cintra for UK payroll processing, and UK-based companies using Rippling for HRIS alongside Cintra for payroll.

Does this replace needing a UK payroll specialist?

No. Cintra still requires a UK payroll specialist or bureau to manage HMRC submissions, auto-enrolment, and UK compliance. The Rippling integration ensures the data fed into Cintra is current — it doesn't replace payroll expertise.

How long does configuration take?

Configuration takes 3–5 hours depending on the UK entity structure and the number of Cintra-specific data fields to map from Rippling.
