Features
Modern HR – Everything you need to manage your people data in a modern and intuitive platform. Streamline processes, empower self-service and unlock robust features like onboarding, announcements, AI knowledge base, org charts, magic documents and more.
GoCo automates the hiring and onboarding workflow with automated digital documents collection, e-signature and self-service benefit enrollment. Plus, GoCo’s built-in I-9, W-4 and state tax forms will ensure companies stay compliant. New hires can complete their onboarding from any device, anywhere. Turn documents into fillable forms with data fields that can be stored and reported on. GoCo provides a central location for all HR documents, such as offer letters, onboarding forms and performance review templates. The Magic Docs functionality allows users to digitally sign, complete and track all forms. It prepopulates any relevant data stored in GoCo directly onto the form.
View and discover the structure of the company with GoCo’s interactive organizational chart and directory – also accessible via mobile devices. Build custom workflows to automate any HR process, policy or checklist. Plus, generate insightful reports on HR metrics, workflows, performance review, employee surveys and more – empowering HR teams to make informed choices for their organizations.
Benefits – GoCo’s self-service features let employees compare and enroll in different benefits plans (including medical, dental, vision, commuter, etc.). When an employee enrolls or dis-enrolls in benefits, GoCo makes it seamless to get that data transmitted to insurance carriers.
Payroll – Run payroll start-to-finish in GoCo with their Embedded Payroll Powered by Gusto. With GoCo, you can process payroll in minutes instead of hours, ensuring your team gets paid accurately and on time, every time. Alternatively, if you love your current payroll platform, it’s not a problem. GoCo keeps your systems in sync by tracking all the changes to your data so you know what needs to be updated in payroll or with the Payroll Auto Sync add-on. All that data can be automatically synced to any online payroll provider.
Compliance – GoCo’s compliance features help employers adhere to regulatory mandates. It tracks any regulatory changes and automatically updates them. For example, its ACA Compliance feature shows administrators which employees are gaining or losing health coverage and recommends the most cost-effective and compliant solution. GoCo can also file 1095 forms with the IRS at the end of the year for an additional fee. Finally, the PTO Compliance feature tracks the employee’s time-off balance and allows employers to add in any PTO restrictions.

About
GoCo grew out of a desire to solve an HR pain point its co-founders had experienced in their previous successful businesses. They noticed that Sales, Marketing, Accounting and other departments had automated processes, but HR was oftentimes spending time on manual tasks and workflows.
GoCo’s mission is to help businesses spend less time on manual, painful and complex HR tasks so they can focus on growing happier, more productive teams.
