Case Study: Gusto helps Nexus Solutions for Autism streamline HR
Key results
The challenge
Nexus Solutions for Autism, a Geneva, Illinois provider of Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, needed an HR platform that could handle onboarding as it hired qualified specialists during a period of growth. Before Gusto, executives spent roughly seven to eight hours a week on HR tasks, and manual processes such as emailing expense receipts required constant oversight. Tracking paid time off across in-home and remote administrative staff had also become a staffing issue.
The solution
The company started using Gusto in January 2020 to fast-track onboarding, consolidate HR operations, and run benefits enrollment. Gusto automated offer-letter distribution, prompted new hires to complete paperwork such as I-9 forms, and provided a single dashboard for HR resources, PTO approvals, and time tracking. Gusto's HR support team answered questions on labor laws and state requirements.
“Solving that issue alone with Gusto has saved us a lot of time, effort and energy.”

The results, in context
The published story reports that Gusto cut time spent on HR tasks by 75% and saved almost 300 hours on HR tasks over the last year. Nexus onboarded nearly 50 employees and saved an average of five hours per week on onboarding, and saved about 50 hours over six months on time-off tracking. HR tasks were completed with minimal oversight.
