Gusto 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.
