Gusto — Payroll, benefits, and HR that runs itself

Every two weeks, you stop everything to run payroll. Calculate hours. Withhold taxes. File forms. Cut checks. It takes half a day and the anxiety of knowing one mistake means IRS penalties.

Gusto handles all of it. Autopilot payroll runs on schedule with automatic tax filing — federal, state, and local. Benefits enrollment, time tracking, and onboarding are built in. 100,000+ businesses use it because it turns a half-day ordeal into a 5-minute review.

The Problem

  • Running payroll manually takes hours every pay period and one mistake means tax penalties.
  • Filing federal, state, and local payroll taxes correctly across multiple jurisdictions is a compliance nightmare.
  • New hire onboarding involves printing packets, chasing signatures, and manual data entry into 3 different systems.
  • Your employees don't have a self-service portal for pay stubs, tax forms, or benefits — so they ask you instead.

Gusto offers 25% off the Plus plan for your first 3 months. Set up your first payroll in under 30 minutes.

How Gusto Works

Benefits Administration

Health, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA/FSA — all managed in one platform. Employees enroll themselves through the portal.

AI Assistant (Gus)

Ask HR questions, pull reports, and approve time-off requests via chat. AI that handles the admin so you don't have to.

Common Concerns (Answered)

We already use ADP/Paychex. ADP and Paychex are built for enterprise. Gusto is built for small businesses — transparent pricing, modern UX, and no sales calls to get a quote. Most switchers say the experience is night and day.

Is $49/month worth it when we only have a few employees? The alternative is hours of manual payroll work twice a month plus the risk of tax filing errors (which start at $50 per form per month in IRS penalties). Gusto pays for itself in saved time alone.

What about multi-state payroll? Available on the Plus plan ($80/month + $12/employee). Gusto handles tax compliance across all 50 states automatically.
