If you offer health insurance, you can add your broker to Gusto and integrate your existing plans and service with Gusto’s all-in-one payroll and HR platform. Your broker gets special access to your team’s group insurance plans so they can monitor and make changes. Your team can self-enroll, view plan details, and update information right in Gusto, saving you and your broker time.
Go to the Broker Integration article to learn more.
If your company offers benefits through Gusto, benefits-eligible employees can view and manage your plans in your Gusto account.
We'll email all eligible employees when it’s time to choose or waive benefits. Each employee must complete their own enrollment or waiver in Gusto. If you're not enrolling in coverage, it's important that you sign a waiver in Gusto, so the insurance carrier can verify whether your company meets their participation requirements.
The only times you can add, remove, or change coverage for yourself or a dependent are when you're newly hired, in open enrollment, or have experienced a qualifying life event.
Go to the Enroll in or waive benefits article for more information.
