How to Run Rate Validation Using Gusto Data
This process uses your employee and time data to evaluate whether your setup supports accurate prevailing wage calculations.
This is not a push-button workflow. You will need to structure your data and define wage rules.
Step 1: Export your data
Employee data and time or hours worked by employee.
Step 2: Structure your data
- Map employees to classifications
- Ensure time includes employee, classification, and hours
Step 3: Define wage + fringe rules
- Job classifications
- Base wage rates
- Fringe benefits
Step 4: Run validation
- Match time to classifications
- Apply wage rules
- Identify gaps
Step 5: Review results
- Under Total PW
- Under PW Rate
What to Expect
Most teams do not get this right on the first attempt.
