Use Rippling's native Employer of Record service to hire internationally without a local entity, fully embedded in the same platform managing your domestic workforce.
Rippling's Employer of Record (EOR) service is a native product within the Rippling platform, enabling companies to hire full-time employees in countries where they don't have a legal entity. Unlike third-party EOR providers that require a separate system and data integration, Rippling EOR operates within the same platform as Rippling's US payroll, IT provisioning, and HR workflows — giving HR teams a single system of record for domestic and international employees.
When a company hires an employee through Rippling EOR, the employee appears in the same Rippling directory as US employees, receives IT provisioning through the same workflows, and is managed through the same onboarding experience. There's no data sync to configure because there's no separate system.
Companies often evaluate Rippling EOR against third-party EOR providers by comparing pricing alone, without accounting for the operational cost of maintaining a separate EOR system alongside Rippling. Data reconciliation, duplicate onboarding workflows, and IT provisioning gaps all add cost that doesn't show up in the EOR per-employee fee.
thePeopleStack configures Rippling EOR as part of global workforce expansion implementations, setting up country-specific onboarding workflows, IT provisioning rules, and benefits configurations for EOR employees alongside domestic Rippling setup. We've helped clients expand into multiple countries through Rippling EOR without standing up separate HRIS instances.
Rippling EOR supports hiring in 50+ countries from a single platform. For thePeopleStack clients expanding internationally, Rippling EOR is often the first recommendation before evaluating third-party EOR providers.
Canadian and cross-border operations: Canadian companies using Rippling EOR to hire US employees, or US companies using Rippling EOR to hire Canadian employees, benefit from a single platform managing both populations — with Rippling handling the compliance and payroll on both sides of the border.
Rippling EOR is Rippling's native Employer of Record service, allowing companies to hire full-time employees in countries where they don't have a legal entity. Rippling acts as the legal employer, handling local payroll, taxes, and benefits.
Rippling EOR operates within the Rippling platform, so international EOR employees are managed in the same system as domestic employees. Third-party EOR providers require a separate platform and a data integration back to Rippling, adding operational complexity and reconciliation overhead.
Rippling EOR supports hiring in 50+ countries. Coverage expands regularly — check Rippling's current country list for the latest supported locations.
Yes. Because Rippling EOR employees exist in the same Rippling platform as domestic employees, they go through the same IT provisioning workflows — receiving app access, device management, and SSO automatically through Rippling's onboarding engine.
Companies already on Rippling should evaluate Rippling EOR first before engaging a third-party provider. The single-platform advantage is most valuable when the company has fewer than 20 EOR employees in any given country and wants to avoid the overhead of a separate EOR system.
