Changelog

Added

Added employee deductions flows

Gusto Embedded now supports a standalone employee deductions flow type. This flow allows you to create and manage employee post-tax deductions/garnishments.

Added

Payroll Submission Blockers & Unblock Options

Gusto Embedded employs various methods to identify and mitigate high-risk payments before they are run. These blockers and unblock options aim to maintain faster payment speeds without needing to secure funds before paying employees.

Added

Added Support for Child Support Garnishments to APIs & Flows

Gusto Embedded now supports child support garnishments via API and Flows. Gusto will automatically remit payments to all child support agencies except South Carolina since this agency doesn't support electronic payments. Employers are responsible for paying the agency outside of Gusto.

Contractor-Only Companies

You can now create contractor-only companies. This company type has fewer onboarding requirements compared to those with W-2 employees. However, contractor-only companies have a payroll blocker that prevents them from processing payroll for W-2 employees.
