Recruiting...currently paying for it but need a recruiting implementation expert to walk through and help to set it up to best serve us. If I am unable to connect soon, I will cancel. Performance...stumbling through our first use of the module. One of the main reasons I might …
paylocity seems to be a one stop shop and does payroll great, everything else well. It checked enough boxes. Additionally, we were blown away by our implementation team. The support we got was superb and I think that is why I am so disappointed in where we are now with the …
Those are the companies I've used in the past. I wasn't working at CNOB when Paylocity was chosen. But Paylocity is 1000 times superior to the two programs I used in the past! There are no secret codes for deductions or earnings; payroll registers are easy to read, and it's …
We were somewhat familiar with Paylocity before choosing them. Compared to the others, it was easier to use and either cost less or was equivalent in price.
Ceridian Dayforce is impossibly difficult, and overkill for any employer of less than 500. Support is not always in the US. Assistance with troubleshooting is 3-48 hours, which is useless when you have a payroll deadline. Training and education of the product is months of …
Insperity focused and relied on HR more than payroll. We need to make sure that Payroll is run correctly, certified reports are generated correctly, and information is transferred to the governmental agencies and unions correctly, before dealing with the added benefits of HR.
Paylocity has a much smoother and prettier interface than ADP. It is easier to navigate around and access the places you need without having to enter into multiple menu options.
Paylocity is much more robust. You can store employee documents; you have insights into things like retention, high-risk employees, and why they are at a higher risk of leaving. Paylocity also has a mobile app that allows my employees to punch in and out via mobile, which they …
Had ADP when we started. It was brutally complex and time-consuming. I had to spend 3 days at a training seminar to learn how to use it. Paylocity solved all of that with an hour of training. No-brainer.
ADP and Paylocity are comparable, however Paylocity's pricing beats ADP hands down. I think Paylocity's user interface is simpler/easier to navigate than ADP's, and I do like Paylocity's reporting feature better as well, however seeing some more dynamic report options would be …
Paylocity was a good value for our agency and we wish the recruiting and applicant tracking was more robust, but given the value of the product, we have chosen to work around that area.
We only used Paycom for a year and was not satisfied with there level of customer service. They were also unable to provide reporting to us that was need on a day to day basis. Overall the service was disliked company wide.
Paylocity is very user-friendly on both the administrative and employee side. Payroll batches are easy to edit, if necessary. The customer service is outstanding; there is always someone knowledgeable available to assist - immediately. (unlike ADP where you could be on hold for hours.) I am happy to hear that as our organization grows, Paylocity can service more than 1,000 employees. As I mentioned previously, the cumbersome tasks are the ability to create custom reports with the data and in the format needed and the accuracy of time off balances.
Our payroll consists of many batches. There is a lot of moving back and forth once you enter too many batches as there is not enough room to view everything on the screen. It would be extremely helpful if the batch "bar" were wrapped to a second line so all can be viewed on the screen.
Third-party sick pay must be entered by January 3rd or thereabout. This does not allow enough time for the last statement of the year to be received from the taxing authorities and entered into the system. Amended returns and W2s are then required and incur a charge.
We gave an 8 rating because I believe there are simple improvements Paylocity could make that would make a world of difference in an admins every day work world. We will probably renew because we are already familiar with Paylocity and how it works. It would a huge change to bring in a different HR & Payroll system at this point
Paylocity is intuitive for the most part. There are a few areas that I click on more than once and it isn't the place I need to be, but I can usually find what I need quickly. The search feature is excellent. And, step by step instructions and videos make learning a breeze!
The frustrations I have with Paylocity customer support are what drove me to leave a review in the first place so I can warn anyone considering purchasing this product. I really like the software and it has a lot of great features, but my complete distrust of their customer service has led me to rue the day I chose Paylocity to be our payroll vendor. For one thing, they are often slow to respond. That alone might be manageable, except even when I do get a response, half the time the answers are incomplete/not helpful, if not completely incorrect! Imagine waiting 90 days and paying thousands of dollars for a corrected W2 only for it to come back more incorrect than it was when you started, and not only that but they also made me question my sanity trying to convince me that they were correct when it was BLATANTLY wrong - and that's just one example! Sometimes you might be lucky to get a decent customer service rep using the chat help feature, but most of the time whoever you talk to does not seem to have any more knowledge of the system than you do. I am a patient person and I have a lot of grace for administrative errors (we're all human) but Paylocity customer service is consistently unreliable and sometimes unprofessional to boot. To their credit, the sales and implementation teams do seem really good. It seems like maybe they just can't retain good customer service reps. We've been through several account managers without ever having a good experience.
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.
Ceridian Dayforce is impossibly difficult, and overkill for any employer of less than 500. Support is not always in the US. Assistance with troubleshooting is 3-48 hours, which is useless when you have a payroll deadline. Training and education of the product is months of reading and charts, and implementation specialists are all over the world, which is fraught with time availability and language barriers. Quickbooks is great for employers of 20 or less. It's simple, and simple (yes, redundantly simple) Not a robust enough system for larger employers, reporting is limited.
Reduced errors on payroll and the ability to fix any errors with voiding/reissuing checks. I've been able to easily get money back on voided checks when employees enter the wrong banking information.
We can assess our budget a lot more accurately for each account based on our cost center locations.
We can communicate a lot easier with our employees through Paylocity.
