Paylocity provides 24/7 access to your online payroll and human resource data management. Paylocity offers highly customizable payroll functionality, as well as HR, benefits administration, and time and talent management programs.
Selected primarily because of the Employee Navigator integration and the flexibility this system has. We don't use all the bells and whistles but we certainly can grow into them. We also like the PEAK training and annual training sessions they offer.
We feel we got all the features and functionality needed at a fair price. One HUGE determining factor was Paylocity's ability to interface with Employee Navigator in which we already used through our insurance broker. We also liked that the company was relatively local to …
Paylocity is much more user friendly. I have used Paylocity in multiple organizations. It is intuitive, it works. There is no guessing as far as where to navigate. The time cards are easy to use and edit as necessary. HR-wise, the onboarding and recruiting functions are also …
We have been using Paylocity since 2018. At the time pricing and customer service was the main reason. The pricing is still very competitive, and even though I feel the Paylocity service has dropped off, it is still better than what I experienced years ago with ADP. Overall, …
Paylocity just adds a whole other layer of information and services that Heartland did not do for us. Heartland did not have the New Hire information, or employee engagement.
Paylocity has been easier to set up and utilize than other platforms we have used. It is so easy to have everything located in one place. This makes tracking and assigning information easier. It also allows our employees to be able to access information through one portal and …
More user friendly, sales team understands needs and is not in a hurry to rush you through the system. Sales team does not call you repeatedly and press for answers.
Gusto is horrible, and Paylocity blows it out of the water. Paycom and Paycor and comparable, but for us it came down to the price, and the relationship that we established with our account manager and sales representative. Mike Vezzoli was excellent and was incredibly genuine …
Paylocity is more cost effective as it is one system that connects all the modules together. ADP has so many different add-ons and systems that it is confusing and also very expensive.
Paylocity is the best system I have worked on. Both from an admin and employee side, it is the easiest to navigate, most robust in terms of what it offers, and hands down has the best reporting. We had a lot of problems with a previous platform and tax pay, which ultimately led …
Paylocity is 20 steps ahead of Certipay. Paylocity is always updating or adding features to better help us. Certipay's platform is very outdated and not user friendly at all.
I wasn't actually involved in the selection process. I came on board after it was already selected. But just in a comparison, I think that the different options and the accessibility to the employee records, it makes it paramount for me.
With the exception of Oracle PeopleTools (2010 US Census version) and CompuPay (I don't even think it exists anymore), Paylocity is the only system I have used in my HR career. I have never had the need or want to switch. Both companies I worked for used Paylocity, and I am …
We are very pleased with the change to [Employee Navigator] as it offers more what we needed. It's very customizable and has many features that can be added or taken away depending on business needs. I'd only say it would be less appropriate for a business quite smaller than ours who needed very little in comparison.
When we initially conducted an RFP in changing payroll providers, Paylocity quickly rose to the top of our list. The offerings, service, and costs were the main drivers. We were nervous, as anyone would, with changing a payroll provider. The implementation could not have been any better. The alignment between the groups was strong, and continuous communication was seamless.
Time off requests. These are easy to perform and track as an employee and user.
Time off approvals. Couldn't be easier. Time of approvals or denials are sent via email and are one-click tasks. Also can be performed in the web UI, but it's so easy.
Manager reporting. Managers can easily see reports on employee time off and make decisions based on that.
It is a great stand alone product. We would like it to tie into a more robust HR solution and communicate with payroll.
Initially there are a lot of features that are turned off, I like to know what a program is capable of so I can be more strategic in implementing a solution.
Having a broker in the middle is both good and bad.
Customer service has dropped off in the last couple of years. It is rare to get a quick response, with a resolution. That said I believe Paylocity is still better than other HRIS systems I've had experience with.
Workflows & Documents, I'm sure there are processes, approvals and flows we could be utilizing more, but I do not find it easy to navigate. That may include an Offboarding flow. We currently use Onboarding, to do our Offboarding.
I would like to see a monthly or quarterly webinar for the function updates and changes.
The primary reason AUSGGAR purchased Paylocity was for payroll/accounting/taxes and I think it does a great job on those functions. Paylocity is also solid with performance reviews. As far as the ATS, I like the screeners we are able to set up as that helps in qualifying or disqualifying candidates
I find Paylocity to be almost too robust so that its functionalities are sometimes too complex to use. Sometimes it appears that they don't get a user's experience and keep a software developers mindset which doesn't always work well with users that are not at their technical level of expertise. A perfect example is the way the payroll dashboard USED to look compared to the recent update
I can always call the direct number and there is a representative always available to answer questions. I can also email the service desk for Paylocity or my representative and they are pretty quick to respond if we are having issues
We had some minor hiccups throughout the year but they have all been fixable. Paylocity integrates well with our 401k provider, Principal, and our benefits, OneDigital. It makes it simple to house everything and have it all connected. It doesn't slow anything down to have Principal integrated. It makes it more efficient
So far, we have had very little reason to call in to Employee Navigator support. Our team who works with them have found it easy and simple to work with them when needed. They aren't able to work on much or divulge how the system works internally, nor what's on the roadmap, but it is still helpful to have timely confirmation.
Everyone wants immediate assistance. Awaiting a response from an email only to ask 2-3 more questions is time consuming. Within the first six months of setup, I would rather respond back to the instructors who provided me the training in each category of my contract.
I didn't have in-person training, but I'm sure it was just as great as any other training/assistance Paylocity provides. Paylocity customer service is always available. You never have to be on hold and their answers are always accurate and timely. Documents in the help section are helpful as well. My in-person training was conducted y one of our employees who was involved in the initial set-up and training of all employees. She was excellent.
The training was live online, but was with a group of other companies. We did not receive any personalized training with our team. Whenever we would ask for training, we would be sent a peak article link or a video. It felt like the reps we dealt with didn't know the answer to the questions.
We were handed off to multiple implementation people, some quit, one went on leave, one left suddenly, one was transfered to a diff dept...all causing a significant amount of disruption for our team. Many had conflicting info on how to properly set things up...hence a complete mess was left for us to figure out
Most of the systems I've used for HRIS systems have been part of the payroll system. What stands out with Employee Navigator is the ability to key your benefit changes into one place, and all vendors are notified of the updates -- no more logging on to three or more sites to make an address change to an employee.
We feel we got all the features and functionality needed at a fair price. One HUGE determining factor was Paylocity's ability to interface with Employee Navigator in which we already used through our insurance broker. We also liked that the company was relatively local to where we are located.
Our main function for Paylocity is payroll, data insights for employee working hours and onboarding. This has been a very reliable source for us for these functions. Payroll has been extremely easy to do using Paylocity. The onboarding process is very simple for new hires and makes the process run smooth. It is easy to find the information you are looking for while on Paylocity.
We spent about half the time on open enrollment than we did in the last two years. Employee Navigator was much easier for staff to navigate and be able to complete their open enrollment independently
We've saved several thousand dollars in setup fees to link with insurance carriers since moving to Employee Navigator
Being able to have the employees update their own profiles is a time saver. Rather than the old days where employees had to turn in physical updates to HR and then HR had to update files. This puts the responsibility into the hands of the employees and saves so much HR time.
Onboarding is one of my favorite things about Paylocity. It saves a ton of paperwork and time. The Onboarding can be done by the employee at home before even starting on day 1 so that they can hit to door running rather than take a day to do paperwork.
