How to Rehire an Employee in Gusto

You can rehire a dismissed employee right in your admin Gusto account. At this time, sending new hire or offer letters to rehired employees is not supported.

Rehire a dismissed employee

  1. Click the People section and select Team members.
  2. Click Show dismissed people.
  3. Click your employee.
  4. Click +Rehire Employee in the Actions section found on the right side of the page.
  5. Enter your employee’s rehire date.
  6. Select your employee’s work location.
  7. Select whether or not you’d like Gusto to file a new hire report.
  8. Click Rehire Employee.

Once you rehire the employee, they can sign into their existing Gusto account to confirm if their information is still accurate, and update it if need be.

The employee will become active in Gusto on the rehire date, and they’ll be added back on the payroll. If you rehired an employee that left before joining Gusto, you’ll be asked to fill out a few more details on the rehire date in order to add them as a new active worker.
