Payroll & HR
Gusto
Gusto is a payroll, benefits and HR platform for small businesses, run from San Francisco. It pays employees and contractors, files the associated payroll taxes, administers health, dental and retirement benefits, and holds hiring paperwork, onboarding and time tracking in the same account.
Payroll can be run in a few steps or handed to AutoPilot, which runs it on schedule. Hours tracked in the platform sync straight to payroll. The hiring tools produce custom offer letters, onboarding checklists and digital signatures, and the platform handles required trainings and policies and flags tax credits the business may qualify for. Payroll can be run in a single state or across several, and Gusto Embedded Payroll offers the same engine to other software companies.
The company launched in 2012 as ZenPayroll and says more than 500,000 businesses now run on it, with tens of billions of dollars of payroll processed each year. Gusto, Inc. holds NMLS ID 1737896 and Gusto Capital, LLC holds NMLS ID 1845463. Sales answers on 800-936-0383, and its backers include General Catalyst, T. Rowe and CapitalG.
