Gusto Lacks Aggregate Project Time Summary Across Employees
Gusto's time tracking requires managers to manually open each employee's record to see how much time was spent on a given project, with no cross-employee summary or rollup view. For project-based businesses that need to track team hours per project for billing or capacity planning, this creates significant manual overhead. The missing aggregation layer is a straightforward reporting gap.
