Nifty vs. Paylocity

I've found myself recommending Nifty to other business owners as well as for personal use. I've personally found it to be invaluable when it comes to:

• Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly recurring tasks
• Creating templates for company processes such as new product creation, marketing strategy, on-boarding, quarterly goals, content management
• Having forms zapped into a new task from multiple locations ensuring they're never overlooked
• Having clear milestones and timelines for projects
• Communicating on projects, tasks, and just in general
• Assigning different components of projects to different people
• Creating prior requirements that must be completed before completing the task

In my opinion Paylocity is suitable for any organization. Where it really starts to help is when you get to a size of 20+ employees. It allows you to streamline your processes, keep employee data secure, and allow for continued growth and development of your team. Prior to using Paylocity we were handling all of our payroll through Quickbooks which worked prior to our company growth where we needed more functionality and security. As we have grown and implemented new Paylocity products our focus has been on the experience our employees have and what can be done to make things easier for them throughout the entire employee lifecycle

Incentivized

• An overview of project timelines and milestones.
• One-on-one or group conversations.
• Tracking the status of projects and tasks.

Incentivized

• Continued engagements every month with briefs and detailed PEAK (how to) articles
• Product training for all user classifications
• Provides a wide array of digital features, eliminating the need for paper & time consuming administrative tasks.
• Comprehensive canned reports and very user friendly filter and report writer features

Incentivized

• Time Expense could be improved since we cannot edit the previous/past time logs entered.
• Lacks expense management and Purchase order management functionality
• Newest product updates are not always stable and I had to reach Nifty's support team a couple of times in the past to fix the issues with new updates e.g. our document management and meeting integrations had to be re-authorized

Incentivized

• Learning could be updated and include relevant compliance trainings.
• Benefits module can use an upgrade to include retirement plan enrollments.
• Compliance tracking and reminders throughout the year.
• File feed setup takes too long and has been very difficult for us. Communication during this process needs to be better. End users should have direct access to the person or team that is working on the connectivity with vendors.

I give a rating of 10 because the transition was flawless, at each step of the way we had a dedicated Paylocity rep helping us during the transition. This gave us peace of mind as we switched over from another payroll provider so we weren't familiar with Paylocity. The transition was smooth

I've been able to navigate everything on my own and I've been able to figure out almost all of it by myself. I like hands on experience so I only rely on service if I've exhausted all resources to figure something out.

there are frequent issues with the recruiting module not fully working and there is no rush from paylocity to fix it

pages load in an acceptable amount of time, reports come back quickly, but integration is very complicated and hasn't been possible

The nicest thing I can say about Paylocity's support is I run into the same support issues with every payroll company. Paylocity's support is no better or worse. With high turnover rates and employees being stretched across multiple company's it is hard to get good responses. I can usually get responses back to simple questions quickly but when you get to intermediate to difficult questions the support is lacking.

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.

I would make sure you have a dedicated team at Paylocity to complete the implementation. We had staff from Paylocity quit and things were not completed properly. They dropped the ball so to speak on that portion of it. we have encountered multiple issues since then and are still not using the Time off tracking to its full capabilities.

There's no comparison. Nifty does what all of these do all in one place (with the exception of Slack's community aspect with hashtagging - not sure if Nifty can do this, never tried) Nifty even has the ability to import directly from many other platforms - I've personally imported projects from Trello and Asana, saving tons of time in migration.

ADP Workforce Now cannot compete with the customization and user friendly set up of the time & labor module. The user has more control over big company changes and I dont have to call in every time I want to make an update to the set up. That alone saves hundreds of hours. Paylocity is a superior product, has superior customer service and provides a superior user experience. There is no comparison.

It is simple to use and straight forward

Support is quick and proffessional

• Consistent communications.
• Staying on project schedule.
• Aligned projects with business strategies.

• By moving from our old HRIS system to Paylocity, we are saving around $70k a year.
• We have been able to eliminate 40% administrative costs by fully utilizing the benefits administration module.
• Using the data insights module, we have been able to focus on measurable metrics with our lines of business and our boards for better decision making.
