Managing workers’ compensation can be one of those necessary but time-consuming parts of running a business. Between payroll changes, audits, and compliance deadlines, it’s easy for things to get messy. That’s where NEXT Insurance, partnered with Gusto, makes life a whole lot easier, and TogetHR Consulting can help you get set up.
For Businesses Already Using Gusto

Real-Time Adjustments: If payroll fluctuates, your premiums adjust instantly.
Instant Quotes: You can get a free quote right inside your Gusto account in just a few clicks.
No Extra Cost to Add: Linking NEXT to your Gusto plan doesn’t cost anything extra. It’s simply a “smarter not harder” way to manage coverage.
For Gusto users, it’s a simple, and seamless way to protect your team and stay compliant without adding more to your to-do list.
