Set up and manage Gusto Time tracking

Dismissing team members who use Gusto Time Tracking

Once you dismiss a team member, their tracked hours in Gusto will branch off your regular active pay period into an off-cycle pay period. Admins can access this off-cycle pay period from a card on the time tracking dashboard, or by choosing it from the dropdown above the team’s timesheets. The new pay period will have the same date range as your active pay period, but will include the label “off-cycle.”

Hours for dismissed team members can be reviewed, edited, and approved just like any other hours. Managers who can review and approve time for their direct reports will see the “off-cycle” label when reviewing the dismissed employee's hours, but will not see anything regarding dismissal. Admins can also sync dismissed workers timesheets directly to a dismissal payroll by selecting sync hours to payroll and sync hours and go to payroll.

Dismissed team members will not see any changes to their time tracking experience until their last day has passed. They'll also still have access to their timesheet in their Gusto profile. There, they can review and confirm previously tracked time.
