    Paylocity
    It is well suited in the way that when we have an applicant who is a potential rehire, it is easy to pull up their old file to find Journals & career notes to see the documentation as to whether or not they would be a good rehire. Before Paylocity, we would have to search through older digital files. I can't think of any reason Paylocity would not be well suited

    Pros
    Paylocity
    • When I need assistance, calling the help line is easy, and most of the time there isn't a long wait. Also, they can and do call back if necessary. I have had Zoom meetings to address issues that required more than just a phone call.
    • Tracking taxes and filing reports is truly important to us so that we file in a timely manner and avoid penalties and interest. We incurred many penalties when we were using QuickBooks.
    • Keeping track of employee documents such as I-9 forms along with visas, work authorizations, resident cards, driver's licenses, and certifications is easy and in one location.
    • With Paylocity, we can easily see who filled out applications. Previously, we used paper applications, which were more manual and involved looking through actual paperwork. This was hard to manage.

    Cons
    Paylocity
    • There's a lot of confusion of the Effective Date and Begin Check Date.
    • Better explanations of cross-company managers when not all companies use the same modules.
    • Better explanation of the Time and Labor piece and how we can better utilize live labor, forecasting, and overall scheduling.

    The system is easy to use. I love the knowledge base system offered, I can answer many of my questions by looking here first before calling in. If i do have to call in to the help desk, everyone seems to be super knowledgably about the Paylocity Product and if they are unable to assist, which rarely happens, they will escalate my call to the next level of assistance

    Usability
    Paylocity
    The website and app are user friendly and it's easy to navigate around the entire system. The AI feature and chat are helpful when there are things that I can't figure out on my own. Reporting is really nice and easily customizable. Auto reports after payroll are available pretty quickly afterwards. If you need customer service you can reach them via phone or email

    Reliability and Availability
    Paylocity
    Over the last 3 years, we've only had one major service issue that rendered Airbase unusable for us for about 24 hours. That said, they navigated the SVB bank crisis very well and made sure funds were available during that time.

    Performance
    Paylocity
    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

    Support Rating
    Paylocity
    I have contacted support on several occasions, mostly for assistance with voiding a check and running an off-cycle payroll. The account managers and support team were all very knowledgeable and helpful. They provided great insight and clarity in answering my questions and helping me navigate these processes. I learn something new and helpful each time I speak with them! On a separate note, we have reported technical issues regarding several Paylocity onboarding tasks since this past year. We have reached out several times regarding these issues, but are still waiting for a resolution. It seems sometimes that technical concerns are reported, with no proper solution or follow-up.

    In-Person Training
    Paylocity
    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.

    Online Training
    Paylocity
    It was virtually, click orange button in top right corner, click run report, hit submit. The training was minimal at best. I did not know what I was doing, so I just wrote down the steps, so when they steps failed I had no idea what to do, where I was in the process, What the terms mean or where to find them. When I had questions it was always the same answers, no understanding for WHAT I was doing when I hit the orange button.

    Paylocity
    Implementation was a bit bumpy and Paylocity team not always available for next steps and/or questions. I feel like Paylocity could have done a better job in their fact finding as far as what we were currently doing, our payroll policies and needs, etc. so that we would have run into less issues as we moved forward.

    Paycor was very clunky compared to Paylocity. The direct deposit for pay, taxes, benefits is very simple and straight forward. Posting from Paylocity into our GL is also very seamless. The customer service response time is very good and I feel as though the techs care about the problem I am experiencing and do their best to resolve it timely.

    I have never had an issue with the tool where it was down or unavailable and caused problems with my business. The system seems to be up pretty consistently and I don't think we have had many, if any, issues utilizing it. I do not have any concerns about the reliability at this point.

    Some are knowledgable others not as much and sometimes instead of helping you fix the issue will just give you some directions and expect you to try to figure it out yourself. Also, when your Account Manager needs to escliate the issue to another group, it can take a long time for them to get to your issue and there's no commuication.

    Return on Investment
    Paylocity
    • Data-driven decision-making would be on top, I would say. Paylocity provides a detailed summary report that one can use to make decisions, and the infographics are pretty modern too.
    • Paylocity cost significantly less than its competitors that I know if.
    • In a way, this does reduce errors because if you forgot to clock-in, you have to manually add a time punch, it has to come with a note, and your supervisor has to approve it while you wait for like 24 to 48 hours. So in order to avoid all that, one has to make sure they got all the details correctly.
