Pay Your Team Your Way

Rippling limits your employee pay options. They don’t offer pay cards, and if you want a paper check, you’ll need to print it yourself.*

Paychex offers multiple payment methods, including direct deposit, pay cards, and paper checks, which we handle for you. Choose Paychex for real flexibility without the extra work.

Support When You Actually Need It

Rippling doesn’t offer one-on-one support, client advocates, or HR business partners who really know you and your business.*

With Paychex you get real people and flexible support options. Choose the provider that offers dedicated support, client advocates, and HR business partners who know you and your team by name.
