"Easy to locate essential information"

Both the app and website interface have a dashboard that makes it easy to get the most important info each pay period: salary, vacation and sick leave used/balance, 401k contributions, etc. Simple, nice dashboard. Also makes it easy to get additional details.

What do you dislike about Gusto?

Nothing. It's the only way to access payroll information at my organization.

What problems is Gusto solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps me keep up to date on current salary, year to date salary, leave balance, and whether or not expenses have been reimbursed

"Easy to use for non-HR professionals"
What do you like best about Gusto?

It's bright, fun, and makes payroll as painless as possible. It literally takes care of everything for you. Need to file a new hire form with the state? It does that. Help you register for withholding? Clear instructions for your state. Need benefits? Insurance? It can either integrate with your provider or help you sign up through their partners. It takes care of everything so you don't have to think of it all and handle it on your own.

What do you dislike about Gusto?

It can sometimes be frustrating switching back and forth between "admin" and "employee" profiles (requiring separate accounts with separate emails) if they are the same person. I wish it could be one account that you could switch between roles.

What problems is Gusto solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an inexperienced HR professional in a small organization where I wear many hats, I love how simple it makes taking care of adding employees and running payroll.
