Gusto updated its Employer Terms of Service on May 19, 2026 with three minor changes. The table of contents added a reference to 'Referee terms increase reward exp', the payment obligations section had a character encoding correction (changing a special character to a standard apostrophe in 'Employer's'), and the arbitration clause similarly corrected the apostrophe in 'attorneys' fees'. These are formatting and encoding corrections with no operational impact on the terms themselves.
