How does Gusto payroll work?

Gusto puts more power in your employees hands by giving every employee an account where they can make updates to their information, bank, benefits, and more. This distribution of effort–plus lots of handy automations reduces the amount of time a business needs to spend on payroll related headaches. And when something unique does come up, Gusto offers timely support and tons of documentation.

Automated Payrol

Gusto can run your payroll automatically. They call this “payroll on autopilot.” And even when you do it manually it’s super easy and takes just a few clicks. Gusto will also send automated reminders and notices when payroll is being run so you always are in the know.

Gusto is also known for its straightforward setup process. New users can typically get up and running quickly, with guided steps to input company and employee information.
