Easy to use, easy to teach, user-friendly platform. Helps your team stay organized and on track of requests/candidates. Integrates smoothly [with] any other external or internal tools that you might have as part of your recruitment process. Workflow establishment, along with …
Paylocity was the best "bang for our buck" in terms of what the system offered versus what the cost was of implementation and continuous use. We love the mobile features, and Paylocity is great for a company of our size (currently just under 100 employees). We also chose …
Paylocity was selected by a previous employee, just before I started working with my current employer. I believe that they were unfamiliar with many payroll products and selected Paylocity based on a demo that they viewed or attended. The best experience I have had was with isol…
Paylocity is night and day compared to Paycom. We had a terrible time doing everything in that system from payroll to benefits admin to general personnel info tracking. The worst things about Paycom (besides the software) was their customer service, which never answered …
Paylocity was implemented before I arrived. However, compared to the other HRIS systems out there, it seems like it has the best balance of easy to use/has all the tools that we need to succeed. Many other companies may have better of either, but Paylocity has the best balance.
Paylocity is more robust. It has everything in one site. Other sites we have used in the past there always seems to be something we need to use another site for, usually this is payroll that we have to have on another service. But paylocity has the payroll function and makes it …
Since it allows you to tag candidates based on their level of talent or potential utility to the company, it is best used to identify the best prospects in large operations, such as multi-franchise oriented businesses that cover all kinds of sales. It can be used to make periodic assessments of the level of employee growth in certain departments, and based on the results let us know if certain employees would do better working in another type of area, so that the overall work operations are more uniform. JazzHR could excel in departments that use a high level of reporting, as its administrative tools provide high content reports with statistics on the performance of each employee or candidate at different levels.
Honestly, I would recommend the system. Generally proactive, frequent updates, easy to navigate. The only negative is the knowledge in the customer support area. The frequent enhancements are great, but at times it is 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It often impacts something else. We have good enhancements, but now something else does not work the way it had in the past.
Performance portal allowing our company to eliminate a separate folder on our work shared drive and storing years of reviews and performance documents.
Custom reports for month-end vacation accruals.
Onboarding new employees and transferring their information right into the employee file so they are ready to go the day they start.
We have had several account manager changes and we are a unique company and having to get new people up to speed wastes a lot of time. I would like to have 1 assigned account manager and for that not to change.
Make Reports easier to create.
I would like the account manager to be able to handle all aspects of the account but if we want certain things added or changed, we get sent to different people. I understand that you are a very large company and it is probably good to have 1 team that does certain things. But, it would be nice if the account manager could handle more on the spot without having to send things off to other people.
It worked well for the majority of our needs and is still in use even though I've left the company. The Resumator was an interim solution until we found a system that integrated with all our other internal systems. However, we ended up staying with it because of ease of use
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
It's not a 10 due to the eTemplates. If those were less time-consuming to set up and if some common forms were available to select from already set up, then I would give it a 10.
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
Each person I've spoken to have been helpful, positive and encouraging. Once you begin using JazzHR, they have intervals in which they reach out to you to see how you're doing or if you have any questions. When you're setting up, they review what you've done and offer praise as well as suggestions on how to make it work better for you. They offer webinars and online training videos to walk you through every process.
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.
A solutions consultant walked me through each step. It was easy. As I progressed in setting things up, their support contacted me to set a time to walk through any possible issues and make suggestions on a better way to set it up. At any time, if I had a question, they were available and there are also training documents and videos available.
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
Both Greenhouse and Lever at least seemed to have great products and great teams; they simply weren't worth 2-5X the cost for us. Now, let's be clear - a platform that helps you hire the best people is a certainly worth 2-5X (or perhaps 10X) the cost. However, for most small and medium businesses, the three platforms are very similar. Once you have ~100s of different positions or ~100,000 applicants, then a more advanced ATS could be worth the cost. For us, Jazz is excellent. We have about 8 types of roles and 250 employees, and we see the Jazz system working very well for us even as we grow to 1,000+ employees.
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.
Saves me at least 2-3 hours of time on each New Hire enrollment. It makes it very easy to get employees information, organize the information where it needs to be, and get the employee engaged in the site before they even start working!
The information is usually more accurate then relaying to me on a piece of paper that I cannot make our their handwriting. It is the employee that is responsible for putting their information in, so less errors.
Paylocity is great when it is working. But when something unusual is needed so you need help from customer service, they are not always helpful and takes much longer than it should. But it does work great most of the time, so not always an issue.
