Upload documents to your contractor's profile (for admins)

Once you’ve hired a contractor, you can upload important documents to their Gusto account using the document upload tool. This creates a digital file for all the contractor’s important information, making it easy for you and them to access at any time.

If you’re on the Plus or Premium plan, you also have access to the Custom Documents feature. You can upgrade your plan at any time to use this feature.

If you’re a contractor, follow the steps in this article to upload a document to your account.
