Pros
Theres not much to complain about. Direct deposits consistently arrive the next day which is a nice feature.
Cons
The support was terrible. The chat never worked and if you missed their call you had to put in a new request. They could only calculate federal withholding for simple pay plans and had issues with the calculation if pay varied between paychecks.

Pros
While the system is easy to use it has its share of problems.
Cons
The customer service has been less than satisfactory. Responses to inquiries were delayed and payroll processes were unexpectedly canceled without notice. Former employees were not promptly removed from our benefits plan causing complications and financial discrepancies. This underscores a need for a more rigorous system to ensure accurate and timely changes.

The user interface for employees is acceptable and visually appealing.
Cons
Regarding Gusto initially I believed it to be a good choice despite a few minor issues. However there were significant problems with overdrawing my account which they rectified promptly. Despite switching our benefits to them they mishandled withdrawal dates blamed me for changes (even though it was clearly their error) and failed to take responsibility. They further penalized me for their mistake causing significant inconvenience. Despite their attractive features dealing with issues became a major headache leading me to discontinue using their services.

The customer service provided by Gusto crucial for any HRIS is incredibly poor.

Cons
Despite accurately capturing our work week and payroll day details Gusto incorrectly generated payroll periods starting from Monday to Sunday despite my repeated explanations that our work week starts on Saturdays. Despite assurances of resolution they failed to address the issue and erroneously reported payroll data to tax agencies causing significant problems.

Support Severely Lacking
Support Severely Lacking
Pros
If everything goes smoothly Gusto is fine. However Im disappointed with their support which falls short of expectations. Despite promises of US-based support its rare to speak to someone from the US. Contacting support is challenging with no available phone number or designated contact person. Lack of response on submitted tickets is unacceptable considering the impact on peoples lives. Expecting bug-free software without investing in customer support is arrogant.
Cons
I have several grievances with Gusto including limitations on payroll journal entries misinterpretation of taxable benefits and unresolved support issues. Despite spending considerable time addressing erroneous tax documents and demanding compensation Gustos handling of the situation was inadequate. Additionally they demonstrated a lack of understanding of local tax regulations further complicating matters.

Theres not much to complain about. Direct deposits consistently arrive the next day which is a nice feature.
Cons
The support was terrible. The chat never worked and if you missed their call you had to put in a new request. They could only calculate federal withholding for simple pay plans and had issues with the calculation if pay varied between paychecks.

Pros
While the system is easy to use it has its share of problems.
Cons
The customer service has been less than satisfactory. Responses to inquiries were delayed and payroll processes were unexpectedly canceled without notice. Former employees were not promptly removed from our benefits plan causing complications and financial discrepancies. This underscores a need for a more rigorous system to ensure accurate and timely changes.

The user interface for employees is acceptable and visually appealing.
Cons
Regarding Gusto initially I believed it to be a good choice despite a few minor issues. However there were significant problems with overdrawing my account which they rectified promptly. Despite switching our benefits to them they mishandled withdrawal dates blamed me for changes (even though it was clearly their error) and failed to take responsibility. They further penalized me for their mistake causing significant inconvenience. Despite their attractive features dealing with issues became a major headache leading me to discontinue using their services.

Despite accurately capturing our work week and payroll day details Gusto incorrectly generated payroll periods starting from Monday to Sunday despite my repeated explanations that our work week starts on Saturdays. Despite assurances of resolution they failed to address the issue and erroneously reported payroll data to tax agencies causing significant problems.

Support Severely Lacking
Pros
If everything goes smoothly Gusto is fine. However Im disappointed with their support which falls short of expectations. Despite promises of US-based support its rare to speak to someone from the US. Contacting support is challenging with no available phone number or designated contact person. Lack of response on submitted tickets is unacceptable considering the impact on peoples lives. Expecting bug-free software without investing in customer support is arrogant.
Cons
I have several grievances with Gusto including limitations on payroll journal entries misinterpretation of taxable benefits and unresolved support issues. Despite spending considerable time addressing erroneous tax documents and demanding compensation Gustos handling of the situation was inadequate. Additionally they demonstrated a lack of understanding of local tax regulations further complicating matters.
