What the Rippling +

Tempo

 Integration Does

The Rippling–Tempo integration automates user lifecycle management in Tempo's time tracking and resource planning platform (built for Jira) based on Rippling employment data. Engineering, product, and project team members are provisioned into Tempo on hire and deprovisioned at termination — ensuring time tracking and resource planning data reflects the current workforce.

Tempo is widely used by companies running Jira for project management who need time tracking, capacity planning, and project financial reporting. Connecting it to Rippling ensures Tempo's user base and team structures stay synchronized with the actual workforce managed in the HRIS.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

Engineering teams using Tempo often treat it as an extension of Jira administration rather than connecting it to HR lifecycle events. This means new engineers aren't added to Tempo on hire, and former team members remain in Tempo's user list — inflating team capacity and creating inaccurate time reporting for projects they're no longer on.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

thePeopleStack configures Rippling provisioning for Tempo with team and role mapping based on department and Jira project structure. We validate that new hires appear in the correct Tempo teams and that terminated employees are removed from active time tracking assignments.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Tempo integrations for thePeopleStack's Rippling clients are built around US engineering and project management workflows.

Canadian and cross-border operations: for Canadian engineering or project staff, Tempo provisioning follows the same Rippling-driven lifecycle as US team members.

FAQs

What is Tempo?

Tempo is a suite of time tracking, resource planning, and project financial management tools built for Jira. Tempo Timesheets is the most widely used component, providing time logging and reporting directly within the Jira environment.
