Change Summary
Gusto added a new 'Gusto Business Compliance' service to its terms of service on April 26, 2026. This service helps employers with state and local tax registration, filings, and compliance support for a fee. The new terms specify that this service is governed by separate 'GBC Terms,' which take priority over Gusto's main employer terms if there is a conflict, and incorporate Gusto's mandatory arbitration and class action waiver.
