GUSTO GUIDE
Make payday a routine your growing team can rely on.
Gusto supports payroll and HR needs for US businesses. FlexiHire helps organize the work that feeds each run: complete new hire details, approved employee changes, timely time inputs and a clear review by your payroll owner.
START WITH THE WORK
What still needs chasing before every payroll run?
01
Are new hire details complete before the first pay deadline?
02
Do pay changes and time inputs arrive with approval?
03
Who reviews unusual amounts before payroll is submitted?
PRACTICAL GUIDE
Prepare one payroll cycle from intake to review.
Walk through a typical Gusto payroll with the person authorized to approve it. Use the review to agree submission deadlines, check the employee information that matters and make corrections easier to resolve.
01
Prepare new starters before cutoff
Confirm the employee's approved pay terms, work location, start date and required setup information. Track incomplete items through approved channels and ensure the payroll owner can review them in time.
02
Create one route for employee changes
Set a deadline for approved pay changes, time inputs, leave adjustments and departures. Name who submits each item and who confirms it is ready for the next payroll cycle.
03
Review the exceptions before submission
Ask the authorized payroll owner to check new hires, departures and unexpected amounts against approved inputs. Keep a record of outstanding questions so a recurring issue is resolved at its source.
04
Close the loop with employees
Document where employees send a pay query, who investigates it and how corrections are communicated. Review repeat questions to improve onboarding information and the next payroll preparation cycle.

HOW FLEXIHIRE CAN HELP
Take the chasing out of payroll preparation.
FlexiHire can organize onboarding inputs, maintain an employee change checklist and coordinate reminders before Gusto payroll deadlines. Your authorized payroll owner approves and submits payroll; processing and specialist tax support are separate scope decisions.
