This article is for admins who have access to HR Resources, either through the Premium plan or the legacy HR Resources add-on.
On Sep 15, 2026, Gusto's HR compliance tools — employee handbook, HR documents, compliance guidance, and support from HR Experts — moved from Mineral, our previous third-party partner, into Gusto's own HR Resources. Mineral access through Gusto ended on Oct 31, 2026. If you still have access to your Mineral account, sign in to Mineral directly to save anything you want to keep.
Important: You need to save anything you want to keep from Mineral. Mineral access through Gusto ended on Oct 31, 2026, and your content does not move to Gusto automatically. If you still have access to your Mineral account, sign in to Mineral directly to save anything you want to keep. If you received an email from Mineral about continued access to your Mineral account, that access is offered and supported by Mineral directly.
Expand the sections below for details.
If you already have HR Resources, your pricing and packaging stay the same. Your account automatically shows Gusto's new HR experience at no added cost.
Some tools work differently than they did in Mineral, and a few, like OSHA log tracking, salary benchmarking, and the job description builder, may not have a direct equivalent in Gusto today. If you still have access to your Mineral account, sign in to Mineral directly to download anything you rely on. We're continuing to expand this experience over time.
If you do not have HR Resources and want it, you need to upgrade to Premium. As of Sep 15, 2026, the HR Resources add-on is no longer available for new purchase.
If you would rather keep using Mineral directly rather than switching to Gusto's native tools, you can request your own Mineral account. Fill out the interest form and Mineral will follow up to finish setting up your account. Your sign-in carries over, so you do not need a new password, and your handbook and case history transfer automatically to your new Mineral account. Access is $3,000 per year, with a discount offered by Mineral. Reach out to Mineral directly for pricing details.
Your content in Mineral will not move to Gusto automatically. If you still have access to your Mineral account, sign in to Mineral directly to review and save anything you want to keep, like:
HR documents you created, like handbooks, offer letters, performance improvement plans, termination letters, and accommodation forms.
Job description templates built in Mineral’s job description builder.
Your HR Expert conversation history — these conversations do not carry over, so save anything you want to reference later.
You may also want to check for OSHA 300 and 300A safety logs if you track workplace injury and illness records in Mineral, and Salary Comparison Tool reports if you’ve run compensation benchmarking in Mineral.
HR Expert conversation history: From your Avatar or System Admin menu, select My Cases under My Tools, then View on a submission, and use the download icon to save any links you want to keep.
Job description templates: Go to HR Tools, then Job Description Builder, then My Saved Jobs, then choose the download option for each saved description.
OSHA 300 and 300A logs: Go to Safety, then OSHA Logs, select the OSHA 300 tab (and OSHA 300A Summary if needed), then Actions, then choose the download option you need.
Salary Comparison Tool reports: Go to HR Tools, then Salary Comparison Tool. At the bottom of the salary.com dashboard, select Export to PDF or XLS, or export individual reports from each job title report.
HR documents you created, like offer letters, performance improvement plans, termination letters, and accommodation forms: There is not one dedicated export path for these documents. If you do not see a download option in the relevant module, contact Mineral support directly.
For help with any of these steps, or with signing in to your Mineral account, contact Mineral support.
Your Mineral handbook cannot transfer to Gusto automatically. If you have one and still have access to your Mineral account, download it directly from Mineral. You'll need to rebuild it using Gusto's handbook tool afterward.
Heads up: If a red flag icon appears on your handbook, downloads stay greyed out until you accept or dismiss all outstanding policies.
To download your Mineral handbook, follow these steps:
Hover over Company Policies, then Handbooks.
Select Actions next to the handbook you want, then choose Download Word or Download PDF.
Keep your downloaded copy. You can upload it to the Documents tab in Gusto so your team can still reach it, and use it as a reference when you rebuild.
When you're ready to rebuild your handbook, use Gusto's Employee Handbook tool. The tool covers federal requirements plus a growing list of states — that article lists the states it supports today. If your state is not supported yet, keep using your downloaded copy until it is.
If you cannot sign in to Mineral, contact Mineral support.
Q: Does this affect my payroll or benefits?
A: No. This change only affects HR compliance tools, like the handbook, HR documents, HR Expert access, and compliance guidance. Your payroll and benefits are not affected.
Q: I have the HR Resources add-on today. Will I lose access?
A: No. As long as you keep your current plan or add-on active, you keep access to HR Resources in Gusto. Your pricing and plan stay the same, and you do not need to re-purchase anything. Some tools work differently than they did in Mineral, and we're continuing to expand this experience over time.
Q: Can I still buy the HR Resources add-on?
A: No. As of Sep 15, 2026, the HR Resources add-on is no longer available for new purchase. If you do not already have HR Resources and want it, you need to upgrade to Premium.
Q: What if I don't do anything?
A: You do not need to take action to get access to the new HR tools. If you already have HR Resources through Premium or an add-on, your account switched to the new Gusto tools automatically on Sep 15, 2026. Mineral access through Gusto ended on Oct 31, 2026. If you still have access to your Mineral account, sign in to Mineral directly to save anything you want to keep.
Q: Can I keep using Mineral directly?
A: Yes. If you would rather continue using Mineral directly instead of Gusto's native tools, fill out the interest form to request your own Mineral account. Mineral will reach out to finish setting up your account and can share pricing details with you at that point.
Q: I got an email from Mineral about keeping my Mineral access. Is this from Gusto?
A: No. Mineral is contacting customers directly about access to their Mineral accounts. Your HR Resources in Gusto are not affected, and you do not need to do anything with Mineral to keep using them. For questions about your Mineral account, signing in, or how long your Mineral access lasts, contact Mineral support. For questions about HR Resources in Gusto, contact Gusto Support.
Q: Who do I contact if I need help downloading or exporting something from Mineral?
A: For help with the download or export steps, contact Mineral support. For questions about the transition itself, like what is changing, whether you need to upgrade, or timing, contact Gusto Support.
