Built for your size
A 20-person team isn’t a 2,000-person one.
We set up Rippling for international contractors: compliant agreements, local-currency payments and tax forms collected before the first invoice.
Contractors sit in the same Rippling account as employees, with their own onboarding, payments and access rules.
Pay contractors across countries on schedule or by invoice, with exchange and transfer handled in Rippling.
Contracts, tax forms and bank details collected before work starts.
Contractors get only the tools they need, removed when the engagement ends.
Contractor costs reported alongside employee costs, by department or project.
Pick the situation closest to yours.
We bring every contractor into Rippling with signed agreements, tax forms and bank details, so payments run on schedule.
We standardise onboarding, invoice approval and offboarding so every contractor follows the same path.
Contractors who work like employees create risk. We flag them and help you move the right people to EOR or payroll.
The right route depends on how the person actually works with you.
Independent, scoped work paid by invoice or schedule in local currency.
Full-time work in a country where you don’t have an entity.
Employ people directly once you have an entity in the country.
We review who you’re paying and how they work before we set up payments, so the right people land in the right route.

Yes. Rippling pays international contractors in local currency in the countries it supports, on a schedule or against approved invoices.
Forms like W-9 for US contractors and W-8BEN for international contractors are collected during onboarding and stored on their profile.
It depends on how they work: hours, control, exclusivity and length of engagement. We flag likely risks in the review and recommend EOR or payroll where needed.
Yes. We set app access by contractor type and remove it automatically when the engagement ends.
Tell us who you pay and where. We’ll show you what we’d set up and flag anyone who should be on EOR.
