Manager permission types
Manager permissions are available to Complete and Concierge plan customers—admins can upgrade their Gusto plan at any time.
A manager's permissions dictate what they're able to see and do in Gusto within their direct and indirect reports' profiles.
Before updating your manager permissions, read below for more detail about the access you'll be granting.
Information Types
Managers will have access to two primary types of information: Basic Employee Information as well as Compensation and Work History.
The type of information included in each of these categories and the information managers won't see can be found below:
Basic Employee Information | Compensation and Work History | Managers Will Never See |
