Oasis PEO vs Rippling PEO

Paychex acquired Oasis Outsourcing in 2018 for $1.2 billion in cash. Oasis Outsourcing was an ESAC-accredited human resources services company based in Florida that offered services in human resources, employee benefits, and payroll processing. The acquisition was about building revenue, and Paychex aimed to grow its human resource outsourcing capability and extend its technology to a new client base as part of the acquisition. While Oasis initially operated as its own entity, it is now fully part of the Paychex brand as one of the available solutions in "Paychex HR."

Rippling is a relatively new PEO, established in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco, CA. They provide a suite of HR and payroll services to businesses of all sizes and have grown to become one of the largest PEOs in the US, with over 1 million members. Rippling offers a variety of services, including payroll, benefits administration, HR management, expense management, recruiting, and compliance support. Rippling offers a flexible plan system. Clients have to purchase "Unity Platform" as a core product, to which they can add any number of their HR, finance, and IT products separately to form their unique plan. They do not share pricing for their products, but they may bill on a per-employee, per-month basis, or monthly base fee. Rippling's services, therefore, can be more expensive than some other PEOs. Overall, Rippling is a reliable and feature-rich PEO that can save businesses time and money. However, Rippling is a relatively new company and may not have the same level of experience as some other PEOs, or as robust a customer support system.
