FAQs
Payroll system software is a program that helps streamline and automate how your business pays its employees and contractors. Payroll software typically keeps track of each person’s hours and wages, automates their payroll deductions, and makes it easy to pay them via direct deposit. Many products also calculate and file payroll taxes for you, so you don’t miss due dates or risk a miscalculation.
When choosing payroll software, it’s important to think about what features are included as well as what your business needs. Many payroll providers charge extra for things like unlimited payroll runs or two-day direct deposit. These are included with all of Gusto’s plans at no extra cost. If you need more powerful tools like time tracking, multi-state tax filing, or next-day direct deposit, our Plus plan has it all, along with a robust suite of HR tools to manage your growing team.
