Gusto fails to remember program selection defaults between sessions
Users managing multiple payroll programs in Gusto must manually re-select their working program each session because the system does not persist this preference. This creates repeated error-prone friction for teams with cost center or program-based payroll structures. A simple default-memory feature would eliminate a recurring workflow interruption.
