Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyGusto Payroll Cannot Pre-Enter Future Hours or Planned Time Off
Gusto's time-tracking module only accepts current-period hours, preventing employees from logging future work time or pre-scheduling vacation. This forces manual retroactive entry and creates reconciliation issues for HR teams managing forward-looking schedules. A common HR workflow need is blocked by a platform constraint.
Daily Hours Entry In Gusto Does Not Function Well
A Gusto user wishes the feature for manually filling in daily work hours functioned better. The complaint is brief and does not specify the exact malfunction.
Gusto payroll lacks bulk hour entry and keyboard-driven date navigation
Payroll administrators using Gusto must enter hours one row at a time with no bulk input mechanism, and cannot use the keyboard to move between date fields. For businesses with many hourly employees, this turns a routine payroll task into a slow, repetitive process.
Gusto Mobile time entries cannot be edited once saved
A user logging hours in Gusto Mobile struggles with entering dates and times, and once an entry is saved its date cannot be edited, forcing them to delete and re-add entries instead.
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.
