Government or public employer payroll

Government employers include political subdivisions like counties, cities, school districts, public universities, and government agencies.

Right now, we do not support government payroll or certain services that public employers often need, including:

• Government retirement plans

  • We do not support 403(b) or 457 retirement plans for government employers.

    • You can add a 403(b) benefit to your Gusto account for payroll deductions only.

    • We do not manage 403(b) plans or support special catch-up contribution limits for eligible employees age 50 or older.

• Federal and state tax handling

  • We do not support IRS Form 940 suppression for government employers.

  • We do not support reimbursable state unemployment insurance status.

  • We do not support FUTA exemptions for government employers.

  • We do not support Form W-3 check boxes for public employers.

• Tax credits

  • We do not support certain government-specific tax credits, such as the Missouri Compensation Deduction for on-time withholding deposits.
