This setting is to determine whether the pay rates entered in either Gusto or SINC will be the basis pay rate or the ‘source of truth’ as to how much a staff member is paid.
Depending on your choice, when changes are made to the basis pay rate, they will be updated on the corresponding platform i.e:
If Gusto is set as the basis pay rate -> updates to Gusto rate for a staff member will be reflected in SINC.
If SINC is set as the basis pay rate -> updates to SINC rate for a staff member will be reflected in Gusto.
On Web:
Navigate to Menu > Payroll > Gusto Settings
Click on Edit
Select the organization as your basis pay rate on the left and Click on > Confirm
Keep in mind: SINC pay rate is hourly and the syncing will only be done for hourly pay rates if it's chosen as the basis pay rate.
