What Rise is
Rise is paid employee management software from Rise, headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It runs on the web, iOS, and Android, and includes employee records, time-off management, employee onboarding, performance management, and time tracking. The service has three named plans. Start combines a people directory, payroll, onboarding, time off, a mobile app, recruiting, and performance capabilities. Grow lists automated workflows, eSignatures, self-onboarding, time-off approvals, payroll integrations, and a mobile app. Optimize focuses on recruiting, performance reviews, 360-degree feedback, custom review processes, time-off management, and payroll integrations. Mobile apps are part of the platform offering, and mobile app access is specifically listed in Start and Grow. Rise has no free plan, so organizations considering it should review the plan descriptions against their employee administration, payroll, leave, timekeeping, onboarding, and performance requirements.
