Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyUnclear Setup for Manager Access to Direct Reports in Payroll Tool
A Gusto user wants clearer guidance on assigning employees with direct reports and granting managers access. The gap is in documentation and setup flow.
HR Platforms Missing Owner-Inclusive Scheduling Views
Small business owners who also work on the floor lack a scheduling view that combines their own shifts with employee schedules. Current HR tools treat owners as back-end administrators only. This forces manual workarounds and creates blind spots in shift coverage.
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 Time Tracking Requires Post-Shift Edits and Forces Admins to Use Personal Accounts
Gusto users cannot edit a shift's start time until after the shift ends, forcing awkward after-the-fact corrections, and new admins must initially set up using their personal employee account rather than a dedicated admin account. Both create friction for businesses managing hourly staff and access permissions.
Gusto lacks in-app messaging to reach HR directly
Gusto users want an internal messaging system to contact HR directly within the app rather than relying on general contact information. Direct messaging would help flag urgent HR needs faster.
