Why work with thePeopleStack and Global Payroll
Running multi-country payroll isn't just a configuration exercise — it's a compliance exercise. Most US-based companies expanding internationally underestimate how quickly payroll complexity compounds: federal and state tax obligations at home, provincial remittances in Canada, social contribution schemes abroad. thePeopleStack has implemented Rippling Global Payroll for companies managing employees across the US, Canada, and internationally, and we know where the gaps show up.
Where we add value other partners don't
US companies with employees in multiple states face a patchwork of SUI rates, local income tax jurisdictions, and varying pay frequency requirements. We configure Rippling's payroll engine to handle multi-state compliance correctly from day one — not as an afterthought when a state agency sends a notice.For companies with a US-Canada split workforce, we bring direct experience with Canadian payroll obligations: CRA remittance schedules, TD1 elections, ROE filing, provincial vacation accrual rules, and the nuances of running CAD and USD payroll in the same Rippling instance. This is a combination most Rippling partners can't offer.For companies expanding further — EOR arrangements, global contractors, international entities — we map your specific countries against Rippling's global coverage and tell you plainly what Rippling handles natively, where an EOR makes more sense, and where you'll need a local payroll provider alongside Rippling.
What a thePeopleStack Global Payroll engagement looks like
We start with a payroll readiness assessment: mapping your entities, worker types, pay frequencies, and compliance obligations before a single configuration is touched. From there we handle setup, parallel run management, go-live support, and post-launch reconciliation. For ongoing needs, our managed payroll service means a certified thePeopleStack payroll specialist owns your Rippling payroll runs on your behalf.
You will get your own VRP Delivery Manager who works alongside you to understand your project needs, ways of working, client expectations and project deliverables to identify and support resource on-boarding.
Centralizing your global systems in one unified platform enhances reliability and ensures a consistent experience for your employees. Simplify operations and bring your payroll processes worldwide under one roof.

Global Payroll refers to the management of payroll for employees across multiple countries or regions, while Local Payroll focuses solely on payroll processes within a specific country or region.
