Overall Satisfaction with Gusto

We use Gusto as a complete HR SaaS system for payroll, time tracking (hrs), time off (PTO), Benefits, Performance and Expenses.

Pros

  • Payroll visibility / notifications
  • Expense Approvals / receipt tracking
  • API Integration with Benefits providers

Cons

  • Company hierarchy, Reporting structures
  • Training / Onboarding
  • Site branding
  • We have onboarded quickly, saving additional employee hours for such a purpose
  • Saved the need for paperwork archiving services of $6000/year
  • Reduced the close-rate of benefits section, avoiding fees of $12,000/ year
Web portal is easy to follow with nice logical flows. Mobile app support and functions support the need for expense management, time-off approvals and payroll visibility.
Modern APIs, Marketplace tools.
Gusto is a modern, tech-driven HR and Payroll administration solution, whose API integrations are well managed and comprehensive. It may not scale to billion dollar corporations, but it is certainly easier to setup and use.

Yes

Did implementation of Gusto go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Gusto again?

Yes

I think Gusto is a scalable solution, to be used by startup-level companies, all the way up to mid-sized, multi-location entities. It may be less appropriate for mutiple-language scenarios and in with payroll who has multiple tax implications.
