BambooHR to Rippling Migration — Employee Records & Benefits
ERPPlugs migrates your entire BambooHR dataset to Rippling in a single structured transfer. Employee records (personal info, emergency contacts, custom fields), benefits enrollment, payroll history including W-2s and pay stubs, PTO balances, org chart hierarchy, performance reviews, and onboarding documents all move over with field-level validation. The migration engine runs a dry-run preview so you can review mapped data before committing. Typical migrations complete in 2-5 business days depending on headcount and data complexity.

What this connector does
Switching HRIS platforms is one of the highest-stakes projects an HR team undertakes. Employee data is sensitive, deeply interconnected, and subject to compliance requirements that make manual re-entry both risky and impractical. The ERPPlugs BambooHR to Rippling migration connector eliminates this risk by automating the entire transfer through secure, API-based extraction and field-level mapping.
The migration covers every data category that matters: employee profiles with personal details, emergency contacts, and employment history; benefits enrollment with plan and carrier mapping; payroll history including individual pay stubs, year-to-date earnings, and W-2 archives; PTO balances with accrual policy mapping; org chart hierarchy with reporting relationships; and performance review records. Custom fields created in BambooHR are mapped to corresponding Rippling fields or created as new custom fields when no native match exists.
Security is built into every step. Employee data is encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. All processing happens in SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, and data is automatically purged from ERPPlugs servers within 72 hours of migration completion. The dry-run preview gives your HR team full visibility into every mapped record before the final migration executes, and the post-migration reconciliation report confirms record counts and flags any discrepancies.

What changes when you plug ERPPlugs in
See how automation transforms your BambooHR-Rippling workflow.
| Task | Manual Integration | ERPPlugs |
|---|---|---|
| Employee profile entry | HR team manually re-enters every employee profile into Rippling field by field | Every employee profile migrated automatically with all custom fields and emergency contacts intact |
| Benefits enrollment | Benefits enrollment data lost during transition, requiring employees to re-enroll | Benefits enrollment records transfer with plan mapping so employees stay covered without re-enrolling |
| Payroll history access | Payroll history and W-2 archives left behind in BambooHR with no access after cancellation | Full payroll history including W-2s and pay stubs available in Rippling from day one |
| PTO balance tracking | PTO balances manually calculated and entered, causing accrual errors on day one | PTO balances transfer with accrual policies mapped so leave tracking continues seamlessly |
| Org chart setup | Org chart rebuilt from scratch in Rippling, with reporting relationships guessed from memory | Org chart hierarchy preserved exactly, with every reporting relationship verified in dry-run preview |
