Contact your primary admin to update name

Collaborators outside of Gusto (who are not paid team members) may not be able to update their own name in Gusto. If you do not have the option to update your name in your profile (where all other settings are), reach out to the primary admin on the account. They'll need to remove current access, and set up a new admin-profile with the corrected name.
