Gusto Review
We use Gusto for payroll at our company. The business case that Gusto addresses is our companies payroll needs along with Benefits for health/dental and vision. Gusto makes the entire process much easier and more automated. The entire company of 200 + People are also using Gusto and it has been great.
- Payroll - Direct Deposit
- Benefits
- Org Chart Company Overview
- Payday accuracy
- Chatbot Support
- Understanding of Gusto plan
I use it to clock my hours, as well as record business expenses. It's useful to be able to edit hours. Gusto is very easy to navigate. I like that it has more than just payroll services. Recently, I've been accessing our handbook through documents. The design is smooth and streamlined.
- Clocking hours.
- Editing hours.
- Adding notes for shifts.
- The time off examples don't apply to me, so I can't request time off.
- The pc version has more information than the mobile version.
- I wish I could see how much I'd earned somewhere bigger.

Gusto is the solution for small business needs!
We use Gusto for our Payroll solutions and to offer benefits to the team, across the entire business (3 dental practices). Its very useful because everything we need is in one space, and we don't have to have our employees using multiple apps for their pay/benefits/HR. It's also very easy to make changes to pay/taxes and direct deposits.
- Split paychecks- easy to set up and manage
- Gusto spending account- it's awesome to have the option to have a built in savings account.
- Keeps all benefits information organized and easy for the employees to access.
- Clocking in and out is super easy
- Don't have the savings acct info on the first page of the app- I'd rather not see my account balance right off the bat.

Gusto cuts out the need for multiple platforms
We use Gusto to pay all of our team members. We are able to keep time tracking including getting exact clocking in and clocking out times for accuracy with each of our teammates. It keeps everything in the same place which helps save money. In the past we would have these tasks spread out across various platforms.
- The clock in and clock out feature is spectactular.
- Scheduling mass payments to multiple team members/employees
- Easy to learn and use for both pay administrator and employees
- Faster turnaround time for processing payments
- Payouts at a consistent time would be nice

- Easy to clock in and out

- Easy to see exactly how many hours you have worked
- Requesting time off when vacation time is out, requesting to take days unpaid would be nice
We use Gusto for clocking in and clocking out, benefits election and tracking, and paycheck tracking and direct deposit. Our employees can track their time, request time off, elect and track their benefits, and keep track of their paychecks in their Gusto portal. Our Operations department can update employee information, approve time, approve or deny time off requests, etc.

I Highly Recommend Gusto!
We use Gusto for Payroll and PTO requests at my organization. We have a staff of less than 30, but Gusto is insanely effective for us. It is seamless and easy to use. The ability to break up a paycheck into a Spending Account to arrive 2 days before, a Rainy Day Fund, and the rest into a bank account is incredible. The ability to request PTO in the app is also easy to use. I love Gusto, and it's the best Payroll app I have ever used.
- PTO tracking and requesting
- Gusto's Spending Card
- The Rainy Day Fund
- Adding Bank Accounts for transferring funds from the Spending Account is a hassle and it won't let you add more than one, which is not great

Gusto's improvement of the workplace
My employers use Gusto for our payroll and time off request. It keeps track of employees out of office, paid holidays as well as birthdays and company anniversaries. We use Gusto pretty heavily and rely on it to keep running smoothly. Makes it very easy to plan for the upcoming weeks and keep everybody in the loop as to any business changes.
- Company Calendar
- Payroll and Paystubs
- Time off Requests
- New Employee Welcoming
- Would like to see paystubs before payday.
- Few issues with unpaid time off requests not tracking.
- Wish to see holidays that are not paid on the schedule.

Gusto is great!
We use Gusto to request off days, clock in and out, and see company calendar to see other people’s days off. Gusto is easy to use which is nice. You can also see your accumulated time off, sick time and paid holidays.
- Rarely glitches
- Easy to clock in and out
- Easy to see time off
- The phone and computer calendars look different. To would be easier to see the calendar if the phone version looked like the computer version

I use Gusto to log my tutoring hours for JW. Gusto addresses ease of access with logging tutoring hours, along with setting the pay rate for the type of work.
- Intuitive UI
- Easy to input time-tracking
- Cool style
- If I misclick when inputting time, it does not save what I wrote
- It's a pain to scroll down to the current date to log hours

Gusto Is One Of Our Most Valuable Assets!
We use Gusto as our Payroll processing solution. Our employees are spread out across the USA (and Canada), and Gusto allows us to easily observe each state's tax requirements, as well as provides a banking solution for our employees. Finally, Gusto allows us to easily leave recommendations for our departed or current employees.
- Payroll processing
- State/federal income tax management
- Seamless handling of bonuses, awards, gifts, loans, etc. to our employees
- Our employees like to use Gusto as one of their primary banking solutions. Having normal banking abilities (auto bill pay, custom budget categories, etc.) would meet their needs better.
- Employees often create multiple accounts to save for different plans (vacation, holidays, etc.). However, once those savings goals are met and used, there's no easy way for them to delete those accounts.

Lifesaver!
I use Gusto as my HR app to run my small business and I honestly don't know where I'd be without it! It allows me to offer healthcare to my employees, streamline payroll and documentation, and the customer service and support ensure that I'm running things right. It makes taxes easier too!
- User-friendly
- Customer service and support
- Options and features
- Contacting the healthcare team
- Understanding how to pay yourself when you're the owner
- Additional training or articles

Gusto Platform Review
Gusto is the time tracking software for all current employees of the organization. As a nonprofit, it is used to run payroll primarily for part-time employees in our physical location, and for ease of access when clocking in at off-site events.
- Ease of access
- Understandable UI
- Less ad space next to buttons to prevent misclicks
- Certain elements in the time tracker on mobile browser are more than 100vw, making them difficult to navigate.

Gusto Review!
We are a small business, and we love using Gusto because of its convenience. The app is easy to navigate, and I especially appreciate being able to make adjustments or requests on the go. I also like that we can upload our own documents and make changes to our W2s if necessary.
- Easy user interface
- Robust App
- Fast Customer Support
- Updating personal information is difficult and having to call customer service is a pain.
- More functions on the app
- I would like to see how much my paycheck is once it is processed from my employer before it is deposited into my bank.

We use Gusto for a number of purposes at our agency. We use it to monitor and approve team time off requests, keep track of payroll, onboarding and document storage. We also use their people structure to help with order and give clear job description and titles to our team so we can maintain the hierarchy with in our organization.
- Paystub breakdown and searches
- Document storage
- Time off requests
- Payday Tracker
- The Job/Pay pages were taken away, I would like to see those again.
- more information on the additional tools, like the rainy day feature.

Gusto is awesome!
We use Gusto for time keeping, to keep track of PTO, and team member info. It helps to consolidate everything in one place and be able to access info about benefits easily.
- Keeping track of paydays and paystubs
- Keeping track and requesting PTO
- Being able to see info about other members of the company
- Time keeping could be improved. It is a little bit clunky and if there were more features it might be faster to use
