Human Resources software is an application used to store and manage your important employee data across payroll, recruiting, onboarding, employee development, and more.
The most important part of HR for small business is making sure you are compliant. Employment laws vary depending on your location and the location of your employees. Gusto’s compliance alerts can help you get ahead of compliance needs and focus on running your business.
Choosing the right solution starts with identifying the business problem you are trying to solve. A few common challenges are poor data quality from managing HR in multiple systems, manual processes for documenting HR tasks, and managing changing compliance requirements.
We have a clear and surprise-free pricing model. Gusto plans start at just $49 per month, plus $6 per month per user. That puts your total cost for everything Gusto offers at $55 per month. To see all of our plans and the features, check out our pricing page.
