![]()
Rippling has expanded its Employer of Record program to eight new countries. The change is part of the latest monthly release of the office application.

In addition, Rippling is providing hourly workers with a weekly break down of pay on paystubs so they can see hours worked, including overtime, for each of the weeks included in the pay period.
