Sling is an employee scheduling and communication tool that allows you to organize all aspects of your work on a single platform.
Connect your Gusto account to Sling to seamlessly sync your time tracking information (regular hours, overtime, double overtime, and sick or vacation hours) to payroll. You can also import employee information into Sling.
Customers who join Gusto from Sling will receive Gusto payroll free for their first 3 months.
Follow these steps to set up the integration:
To confirm you’ve been connected successfully, check that Gusto is listed as "Connected."
After connecting your Gusto account, employees sync from Gusto to Sling every hour. If you already have employees on your Sling account, it will look for matching email addresses to prevent duplicates.
Add new team members
At this time, adding a user in Sling first will not automatically create them in Gusto—we recommend adding them in Gusto first.
Sling will automatically import and sync employees and their wages every hour but you can trigger a manual sync in the settings–we won’t import any other information from Gusto:
Note: The Sling integration only supports hourly employees and one pay schedule. Multiple pay schedules are not supported at this time. If you have multiple pay schedules set up in Gusto, you will need to select the one pay schedule you would like to update from Sling.
To export payroll information from Sling to Gusto, you will need to push your employees' hours through the Sling payroll report. This cannot be automated as admins should do a final review of hours before exporting to payroll.
If you're syncing PTO and sick time, you'll need to set up the policies in Gusto first. To do so:
To review and export hours:
Managers can export as many times as you want. Each export overrides the last one, so if you make a mistake or add a Timecard late, you can export again.
You can check your sync status by navigating to Sling > Settings > Integrations. From there, you can check the status of the integration:
Does the integration support multiple pay jobs?
Yes. In Gusto, a job title is the equivalent of a “position” in Sling.
What happens if an employee’s information is updated after the employee was synced?
If the employee in Gusto is updated after a sync, you will have to wait for the next sync or trigger one manually.
What do I do if I have duplicate users in Sling because of a Gusto import?
Sling recommends deleting the profile that doesn't have an email or that doesn't have the same email set in Gusto.
