Gusto

Gusto is a cloud platform that combines payroll, employee benefits and human resources tools in one product. It is aimed at businesses of different sizes, whether staff work in an office or remotely.

The product automates much of the routine around paying people, from calculating hours to filing taxes.

What Gusto offers

• Payroll — runs pay in a few clicks, files taxes automatically and helps with compliance.
• Time and leave — syncs hours, paid time off and holidays into payroll.
• Benefits — a range of health and financial benefits for staff.
• Hiring and onboarding — tools to recruit, with new employees able to enter their own details.
• HR and growth — performance reviews, training, feedback surveys, compensation tools and workforce costing.
• Switching help — in many cases the vendor can move existing payroll and benefits data across.

Who it works with

The platform targets employers from first hires through to larger teams, and there is a partner programme for accounting practices that want to bring clients on.
