Gusto Contractor Login Flow Conflates Admin and Worker Roles, Blocking Access
Contractors attempting to log into Gusto under a second company encounter prompts designed for payroll administrators—asking about admin status and payroll setup—rather than a simple worker login path. This role conflation creates confusion and delays access to pay stubs and tax documents for contractors with multiple clients. The problem reflects an architecture that assumes a single user persona per account rather than the reality of multi-company contractor work.
