“Filing taxes and employee self-serve functionality are the biggest timesavers. The fact that I can run payroll from my phone from anywhere in the world has been such a relief.”
Lifecycle management
Payroll, benefits, and HR work better together.
With employee self-service, new hires can easily sign and upload tax forms, securely manage their documents, and submit background checks, while company org charts and directories help them feel welcome on day one.

And when it’s time to say goodbye, they retain lifetime access to their Gusto accounts.




Employee empowerment
Put more power at their fingertips.
Gusto’s employee self service portal is so much more than paystubs and tax forms. Team members can easily enroll in and manage benefits, submit hours, log expenses, check PTO, and request time off, as well as access learning and free financial planning tools. Giving control back to your team increases accuracy, trust, and engagement—all while keeping them happy and healthy for the long run.
Streamline HR
Cut out the busywork, and let HR get back to business.
Whether your HR department is a team of 2 or a team of 20, fielding requests for paystubs, updating errors in employee information, and answering questions about PTO and benefits can cut into valuable work time. With our HR self-service portal you can slash administrative costs and skip the busywork while supercharging efficiency across the board.
