What the Rippling +

Payhawk

 Integration Does

  • Automated account provisioning: New hires get Payhawk accounts and corporate cards created automatically based on their Rippling role and department.
  • Role-based spend limits: Card spend limits and controls map to Rippling role and department data.
  • Automated deprovisioning: Employee offboarding in Rippling triggers automatic suspension of Payhawk access and active cards.
  • Approval hierarchy mapping: Payhawk's approval chains use Rippling's manager and department structure, staying accurate as the org chart evolves.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Not mapping approval routing to Rippling's live org chart: Static approval chains in Payhawk drift out of sync as the company grows; mapping to Rippling keeps routing accurate automatically.
  • Not scoping card spend limits by role: Role-based spend limits driven by Rippling data are more accurate than manually configured limits that don't update when employees change roles.
  • Not suspending cards at offboarding: A departed employee's active Payhawk cards should be suspended immediately to prevent unauthorized spend.
  • Applying identical expense policies across jurisdictions: US and Canadian reimbursements have different tax treatment; a single policy applied to both can create compliance issues.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

We configure account provisioning so new hires get Payhawk access and appropriately scoped corporate cards automatically, based on their Rippling role and department.

We map Payhawk's approval routing to Rippling's manager and department structure, keeping expense and invoice approval chains accurate as the org grows and reorganizes.

For companies with Canadian entities, we confirm Payhawk's expense policies reflect Canadian tax treatment of reimbursements distinctly from US policy.

Canadian and cross-border operations: Payhawk has a growing presence in North America; for companies with Canadian entities, thePeopleStack confirms Payhawk's expense policies reflect Canadian tax treatment of reimbursements distinctly from US policy.
