How and When Do I Get Paid?

How and When Do I Get Paid?

When are pay periods?

All contractor pay periods are the same, regardless of which client opportunity you service:

  • 1st–15th of each month
  • 16th–Last day of each month

When will I receive my payment?

Payment dates vary by pay period and are communicated by email.

If you are actively servicing a contract, you'll receive an email with the payout schedule for the year.

How will I be paid?

By default, payments are sent by direct deposit to the bank account listed in your Gusto profile.

If you choose to receive a paper check instead, a $3.00 processing fee will be deducted from your payment. Checks are mailed to the address listed in your Gusto profile.

Please make sure your banking and mailing information in Gusto is current to avoid payment delays.
