Gusto Payroll Integration

Teamwork's payroll integration with Gusto allows Teamwork users to push pay-data from Teamwork to Gusto through the cloud. Teamwork assembles a complete payroll, including multi-roles and wages, overtime allocated across wage rates and locations, tips, and labor compliance. All data is pushed to Gusto payroll with a click, saving users the time and errors associated with the manual input of pay-data. Teamwork can pull time punches from leading POS systems, or from Teamwork's timekeeping app.
