Gusto payroll software includes all the features for businesses to completely automate the payroll activities for their employees. The interface is relatively simple and straightforward, especially for employers not familiar with the complicated payroll practices. Gusto can be accessed from Mac, Windows, or the web. There is no mobile app for employers as of now, but there is a basic Gusto Mobile Wallet app for employees that offers limited features. Some of the key features of Gusto payroll software are as follows:
Payroll Automation
With Gusto, the payroll process can be completed in three easy steps, synching pay, reviewing details and approving the payroll. Summaries of the payroll are generated as part of the process, which can be reviewed at a glance. Moreover, the payroll can be set on Autopilot, which means the process runs automatically in the background.
Free Payroll Tax Filings
With Gusto, you don’t have to worry about calculating and filing the taxes. That’s right. While most payroll platforms allow you to calculate the taxes, based on your location, Gusto goes one step ahead and files your taxes free of charge every time the payroll is processed. Many service providers charge additional amounts for this service.
Time and Benefit Tracking
Gusto offers advanced time and benefits tracking features. This means the tool can be handy if you have hourly workers. It can also be useful if your business follows a project or job order costing system as the tracked hours can be easily allocated on the basis of the project.
Add-ons and Integrations
A key feature that makes Gusto a recommended option is the dozens of integrations it offers. Gusto payroll software can be seamlessly integrated with QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Aplos, TSheets, Trainual, Shopify and Clover, amongst others. This means you don’t have to worry about transferring your payroll information to your accounting software, or transferring data from time recording software to Gusto. You can still continue using most of your preferred software when you join Gusto.
