Gusto reporting tools need more detailed filters and comparison capabilities. HR teams want deeper analytics for workforce data beyond the current basic reporting options.

Gusto user reports slow loading times as the main area for improvement. Single vague mention with no specific detail about which features are slow.
Gusto Payroll Reporting Cannot Handle Multi-Job Employees
Gusto lacks robust reporting options, particularly for generating reports on employees who hold multiple positions. This gap creates manual work and compliance risk for employers managing complex workforce structures.
Gusto HR reporting lacks custom dashboards for payroll and workforce data
HR and operations teams using Gusto cannot build custom reports or dashboards, forcing them to work within preset templates that rarely match their analytical needs. The inability to slice payroll, headcount, and compensation data on custom dimensions pushes teams toward manual spreadsheet exports.
Gusto Lacks Payroll Variance Root Cause Analysis Tool
Payroll administrators using Gusto have no built-in tool to diagnose why payroll costs changed between pay periods. Finance teams must manually reconcile line items to explain variances to leadership. A gap in payroll analytics that increases month-end close time.
