talech (part of U.S. Bank) is a cloud-based time tracking tool for small and medium businesses. talech is designed from the ground up to be a complementary extension to cloud-based payroll software.
With the Gusto and talech integration, employee names and emails automatically sync in either direction so you only have to make updates in one place. Time cards sync from talech to Gusto so you can run payroll more efficiently.
This integration is available on talech paid plans and all Gusto plans.
In the left menu, go to Integrations.
Click Gusto.
Select Login with Gusto.
If you’re new to Gusto, choose Sign up for Gusto and complete your company onboarding.
Enter your Gusto admin credentials and click Sign In.
Click Authorize to allow talech to sync Gusto data.
How syncing works and where to make updates
Automatic syncing is enabled by default.
With automatic syncing, here’s what syncs and when:
Employee personal information
Employee names, emails, and phone numbers sync from talech to Gusto every hour.
Employee names and emails also sync from Gusto to talech every hour.
This means that if someone’s name or email changes, you can make the update in either Gusto or talech. It will update in the other system after the next sync.
Time cards sync from talech to Gusto one day after a pay period has been completed. To review synced time card data in Gusto, go to the Pay section and navigate to the corresponding payroll.
You can run a manual sync anytime by following the steps below.
Follow the steps below to instantly sync timesheets from talech to Gusto.
Once a payroll has been processed in Gusto, timesheets for cannot be synced (unless the payroll is canceled). See the steps below to cancel or adjust the payroll.
In the left menu, go to Integrations.
Select Gusto.
Click … (the icon with three dots).
Choose Sync Time Sheets.
The ability to resync a timesheet depends on whether the payroll has been processed in Gusto.
Payroll has not yet been processed
Follow the steps above to run a new manual sync. The timesheet data will immediately update for that payroll in Gusto.
Payroll has been processed
Here are a couple ways to adjust timesheets for a payroll that has already been processed:
Cancel the payroll, if available. Click here to learn about whether the payroll can be canceled. Then, run a manual timesheet sync from talech and rerun the payroll in Gusto.
Or, manually adjust the payroll using your talech timesheet data as a reference.
Follow the steps below if you no longer want employee and timesheet data to sync automatically between Gusto and talech.
In the left menu, go to Integrations.
Click Gusto.
Choose Settings.
Find the “Allow Connection” line and switch it to disabled.
Going forward, you must run a manual sync whenever you’d like data to be shared between Gusto and talech.
Review the sync error log
Here’s where to find a sync error log in talech:
In the left menu, go to Integrations.
Select Gusto.
Click … (the icon with three dots).
Choose Error Logs.
Review the entries for errors and correct them.
Troubleshooting checklist
Here are some other settings you can check if you find that data is not syncing.
In the left menu, go to Integrations.
Select Gusto.
Check whether the integration is active.
If it’s not active, click Reauthorize and follow the prompts to reconnect.
In the Settings section, check whether automatic sync is enabled.
Review the “Last synced” timestamp.
If the last sync was run before you made the change in Gusto, this means the change has not yet been picked up by the hourly sync. Click Resync to run an instant update.
If the sync still does not work, contact talech’s support team at [email protected] or (888) 995-1998.
Follow these steps if you no longer want data to sync between Gusto and talech. This does not delete any synced data from Gusto or talech.

Select Gusto.
Click Delete Integration.
Going forward, data will no longer sync between Gusto and talech. You can reconnect the integration at any time.
