What Gusto is
Gusto is a platform for payroll, HR, benefits, hiring and time management. It is built for small businesses and their growing teams.
It syncs team hours, paid time off and holidays with payroll, and files payroll taxes with government agencies. Team members can clock in and out through a browser, mobile app or tablet kiosk. Gusto also creates and shares schedules, compares planned shifts with actual hours worked, and syncs approved time off with payroll and calendars.
