Rise Works Reviews & Product Details

Rise is the modern global payroll platform built for companies that hire, pay, and manage talent across borders. Designed for the realities of today’s distributed workforce, Rise combines full-service global compliance, instant cross-border payments, and next-generation payroll infrastructure, including both fiat and Crypto rails, into one unified system that grows with your team. With Rise, companies can compliantly hire employees through our Employer of Record (EOR) solution or engage global contractors via our Agent of Record (AOR) and Contractor Pay capabilities. Rise becomes the legal employer on your behalf when needed, handling payroll, taxes, benefits administration, onboarding, and local compliance so you can expand into new regions without setting up local entities or navigating unfamiliar labor laws. One of Rise’s core strengths is flexibility. Our platform supports teams operating in a wide range of countries and regions, with new markets continuously added as clients scale. Rather than maintaining rigid, predefined coverage lists, Rise works closely with customers to support their expansion plans, ensuring they have compliant hiring options wherever they choose to grow. Rise’s payment infrastructure enables teams to pay workers globally in their local currency or in Crypto, offering greater speed, transparency, and cost efficiency than traditional international payroll systems. Workers receive faster access to earnings, while companies benefit from reduced payment errors, improved traceability, and fully compliant payout workflows. Finance, HR, and operations teams also gain access to a comprehensive set of workforce tools, including contract management, onboarding, tax documentation, global payments, localized compliance automations, audit logs, and an identity framework designed to reduce fraud and simplify cross-border hiring. Everything lives in a single, modern dashboard, eliminating the need for multiple systems and manual processes. Trusted by thousands of global teams and workers, Rise has processed over $1 billion in total payroll volume, reflecting our rapid growth and the increasing demand for flexible, compliant, and modern payroll solutions. Whether you’re a startup entering your first new market, a remote-first company scaling across time zones, or an enterprise modernizing legacy systems, Rise delivers the speed, compliance, and global reach needed to operate confidently. Rise replaces outdated global payroll infrastructure with a unified platform, helping companies scale with startup speed and enterprise-grade protection.
