How does the Gusto integration work with Buildertrend?

Take the work out of workforce management

Manual payroll can be a time-consuming process that involves managing spreadsheets, timecards and day-off requests. However, with the integration of Buildertrend and Gusto payroll, this process can be streamlined. By syncing the Time Clock feature with the human resources management platform, shifts can be easily transferred between the two systems. This automation saves time and reduces errors when it comes to calculating employee hours and pay.

Save time for your entire team

The Time Clock feature in Buildertrend allows employees to easily manage their clock in and out responsibilities, leading to faster payroll processing through Gusto. Time off and holiday calculations are also automated with no extra steps required. Gusto also saves time on taxes by calculating and filing them with the appropriate government agencies during each payroll run. This service is included with Gusto, unlike other systems that charge extra for it.

Enjoy hassle-free tracking

Manual payroll processes are time-consuming and prone to errors, which can result in shortchanging a crew member for their hard work. The Buildertrend and Gusto integration eliminates these issues by accounting for every minute and syncing with accounting programs like QuickBooks and Xero. Gusto also keeps track of tax law changes and makes auto-calculations for fewer mistakes. In addition, Gusto stores important documents such as I-9s, W-2s and 1099s online. That means you’ll never have to worry about forgotten forms or signatures.
