Employees cannot see paystub status when employer payroll runs late

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.
