Regular payrolls are directly linked to your company's pay schedule and pay periods—if you need to change the dates of the pay period you're running payroll for (like processing a payroll early), or run another payroll at the same time as your regular payroll, run an off-cycle payroll instead.

How To Run Your Regular Payroll

  1. Go to Settings → Users → Payroll.

  2. Select the Pay Period, if necessary.

  3. Click Run Payroll.

  4. Review all Employee's Hours, Tips, Bonuses & Reimbursements.

  5. Select a Payment Method.

    • If you are paying by Check, you will have to handwrite these and pass them to your employees. Gusto will not mail Checks to employees.

  6. Click Save & Continue.

  7. Click Submit.

  8. Click Back To Main Screen.

    • Here you have the ability to Cancel Payroll, or View Details and the Receipt.

Heads up: The deadline to submit your payroll is 4 PM PT on the day you choose to run. Failure to do so could result in late payment to your staff.
