Gusto added a new service called Gusto Business Compliance (GBC) to its platform on April 26, 2026. The GBC Service helps employers with state and local tax registrations, filings, and ongoing compliance support. This is a paid add-on service with its own set of terms that take priority over Gusto's main employer terms when disputes arise about the GBC Service specifically.

What this means for you

Gusto introduced a new paid service to help employers manage state and local tax registrations and compliance filings. The GBC Service operates under its own terms, which control over Gusto's main employer agreement when questions specifically concern the GBC Service. This is primarily a product launch with a separate service agreement rather than a change to existing consumer protections or rights.

Key Clauses Affected

GBC Service Definition and Scope

Establishes GBC Service as a paid offering for state and local tax registration, filings, and compliance support.

Hierarchical Terms Control

GBC Terms take priority over Employer Terms for disputes concerning the GBC Service specifically.

Incorporated Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

The mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver from the Employer Terms apply to GBC Service disputes with full effect.
