I use Paylocity for onboarding and to process payroll. Paylocity has replaced our onboarding paperwork making our onboarding so much easier. Paylocity has also replaced our PTO form and has made requesting time off an easy process for all the employees. I have been told by the employees that they like punching in and out through Paylocity instead of doing manual timecards.
  • Keeping track of PTO
  • Provides learning through the app or on the website
  • Helps keep employees informed on the Community page
  • Easy clock in and clock out
  • provide a manual to help with learning the software
  • Have the app and the website link when using one or the other
  • Explain when employees select paperless that they will not receive a W2 through the mail
Paylocity has made everything so much easier and quicker from onboarding to payroll. It has helped us eliminate the paperwork involved with the onboarding process. My account manager and customer service have been very helpful when I needed assistance. I do wish they had a manual to refer to instead of having to email, call or chat all the time while still trying to learn the system.

We use Paylocity for payroll processing. We joined Paylocity because our organization has over 200 people, and it is a better fit for a company our size than our previous payroll vendor. It was hard to figure out how to use it, and the reporting is not the best, but we have learned it with the support of the Paylocity team.
  • Fast reply from customer support.
  • Generate W2.
  • Mobile App.
  • Reporting.
  • Teaching the system.
  • Integration company - Joynd.
Better suited for a company that has exceeded 100 headcount. It is better suited for a company that has a dedicated payroll team that can spend time learning the product as it is not easy to use. It is less suited for smaller companies that are not scaling. I will continue to use it in the near future.

We use Paylocity as our HRIS platform. The system has an easy integration process with other platforms such as in our situation when it came to sharing information on employee benefits. The support team were able to understand what was needed and follow up accordingly.
  • LMS systems
  • HR & Payroll
  • Walkthrough Guides
  • Benefits essentials did not fully capture enrollments of employees causing some reporting errors. It has room for improvement.
  • Helping new start-up companies with compliance issues and taxes.
  • Having a single point of contact versus just a call-in number.
It's well suited for small-business owners who have to run payroll for salaried employees but can become a bit complicated when the employers start hiring hourly workers and there is the integration of timekeeping systems and the many features involved in that process can become overwhelming to new start-up companies.

Since we transitioned to Paylocity starting January 1st, 2023, our HR Department can act smoothly. We have everything in one place, and we can even save money on Recruiting.

The only situation that we would love to improve from them is the Customer Service experience through email, or in general, they take a little longer to help you with your matter. It would be perfect if they implement a system where we can open a ticket and get a response immediately without calling them.

The recruiting, onboarding, and hiring process is incredible, you can play with the system around to move your candidates from status, or from Recruiting to Onboarding if you extend a job offer. This makes you save time and money since your new hire will be able to fill out all the information electronically, and that account will be created for them during the onboarding process. Once they start, they will be in your system.
  • Recruiting, the connection we have between Indeed, and ZipRecruiter with extra charges.
  • Payroll processing is easy and reliable.
  • Employee administration is easy to use as well, as organized.
  • Customer Service - Create an option to submit tickets for help.
  • Reporting, it would be better with a better reporting system.
  • Chat under community will be helpful for employee communication.

We use Paylocity as our main HRIS, payroll processing, and time & attendance platform. The time & attendance system is user-friendly for our manager, has helpful reports for me to verify accuracy, and in just a few clicks, the hours are added to the checks. Most importantly, it can account for multi-state wage & hour laws and transfers between cost centers, positions, & rates. We have hourly employees in 5 states, and many of the work between different stores and positions within those stores. Having the transfers set up for them to easily allocate where they are and what they are doing makes it much easier to process their payroll accurately on my end. The payroll policies are flexible with different OT laws and quirky state rules like NY, Spread of Hours, CA break premiums, and Call In pay in the 3 states we operate in.
  • Payroll Process
  • Time Keeping
  • Everify with Onboarding
  • Always have tax set up issues in Onboarding.
  • Report Writer is great but could be more user-friendly.
  • Setting up taxes in new states - we pay for the service, but there are often mistakes or issues with filing. I get so many notices from states with account issues.
The user experience for my managers and employees is simple, clean, and direct. Allowing them to make changes, find information, and own their Paylocity Supervisor Self Service and Employee Self Service saves me a lot of time. I use this time to make improvements on the back end. For example, we are rolling out the Paylocity scheduler soon to replace Hot Schedules. The integration and ease of use will help the managers track tardiness, and absenteeism, and save their time on manual set ups and reporting. It will all be in one place, easy to use, easy to manage - that is what I like most about Paylocity.

To begin, Paylocity proved its value after all the consequences of the COVID lockdown. Like many businesses, we had to downsize, which led to many finance teams across many industries to do more with less -- a lot less! In our case, I had to take on the end to end process of payroll. You will always have a live Paylocity partner! Our AM at the time was exceptional in providing clear guidance on how to execute payroll, learning on the fly, and took it further by sharing all the best practices to optimize and evolve our process. As a controller, this is invaluable, and that level of service continues today.
  • A live account manager is always reachable and ready to help. Always.
  • Running payroll end to end is pretty easy with some guidance, UX is clear in guiding you through next steps.
  • Ad hoc correction/amendment requests, e.g. lost check research, 941 amendments, etc., with live account manager support and guidance.
  • Embedded AI that helps during configuration across all modules. E.g., we lost all the employees who were involved in the onboarding and implementation of Paylocity, when we had to add a new vacation code, we did not flag it as a 401K eligible earning code. Embedded AI would have flagged this to the editor as a reminder knowing that all vacation earning codes are flagged for 401k eligibility.
  • Garnishment set up and calculation.
  • Seeing Paylocity's growth since 2020, I'd like to seem an expansion of its Time & Labor features that contemplates remote employees or mobile employees (advance geo fencing).
Having gone through a hockey stick headcount growth, then an inverse hockey stick reduction of force, Paylocity has proven itself as a reliable and effective payroll partner whether a company is small and growing, large and expanding, or in crisis-mode.

Our organization uses Paylocity for electronic personnel files, HR reports, payroll processing and tax filing, recruiting, onboarding, benefits administration, compensation management, LMS capability, timesheets, surveys, employee self-service, and business intelligence related to HR metrics. It is the main system that our HR, payroll, and training teams use for an end-to-end human capital management solution.
  • Payroll processing and tax filing
  • Posting job openings to our own careers page and also to external websites
  • Managing our annual merit pay process
  • Custom report capability (access to data and the ability to combine different types of employee data into one report is limited)
  • Configurable electronic forms (not enough flexibility and capabilities are provided)
  • Position management functionality is severely lacking
  • Unfixed system defects/bugs
  • Lack of in-depth product knowledge among customer support staff
Paylocity does a great job with payroll processing and tax filing including compliance with federal and state payroll regulations. The payroll suite in the product offers good value. Some of the HCM features outside of payroll are lacking in functionality and advanced capabilities that users of other cloud-based HR information systems have come to expect. For example, position management in Paylocity is not meeting our company's needs. The business intelligence (referred to in the product as "data insights") is not meeting our needs either, so we've had to extract Paylocity data and put it into other BI tools.

We use Paylocity for employee management, time and labor, payroll processing and paid time off management. It solves the problem of having several different software to manage these areas of HR. We use it on a regular basis, with 90% of employees logging in weekly to the website or mobile application. It is good to know that we can easily expand and add additional modules as our organizational needs expand.
  • Customer support is exceptional when adding new modules and features. We are paired with a specialist who is very responsive by email, phone or zoom.
  • The website and app are extremely reliable with no downtime in the last 2 years of usage. the interface has increased in ease of use and finding information.
  • the knowledge base is a great resource for articles and videos to help find quick solutions.
  • Payroll was more complicated than necessary but I see that this feature was just updated.
  • The benefit costs are complex to change/update for employees and especially the employer.
  • It would be nice to have a live chat feature for administrators within the app instead of having to send an email separately.
I think Paylocity is well suited for most organizations, whether small or large. Mainly due to it's customizable features and modules. Especially well suited for business with 24 hour shifts and a set schedule for those employees. The feature that allows employees to swap shifts directly is great for both employees and supervisors.

I use Paylocity daily. I continually audit our information to ensure there are no inaccuracies. I utilize the payroll function every two weeks. I use the reporting database to pull information for many projects. When we recruit, I use the Recruiting module for our complete recruiting and onboarding workflow. Paylocity has saved me a ton of time and hassle with the integrations into Vanguard for 401k and Employee Navigator for benefits administration.
  • User friendly interface for both admins and end users.
  • Responsiveness to phone calls and emails.
  • Consistent upgrades to the platform.
  • Implementation accuracy.
  • W2 distribution.
  • Consistently knowledgeable phone operators.
Our implementation process was rather painful and inaccurate in areas that caused major issues with payroll. We had to request a partial refund of our implementation fees. I do like the ease and speed of being able to run payroll with the Paylocity system. I do like the interface and how easy it is to navigate for both myself as an admin and my team members as end users.

We implemented Paylocity for our HRIS for our growing organization. Our previous provider was great but too small for us as we grew. We also had very limited access to reporting, and that was one of the biggest selling features to be able to make stronger data-driven decisions.
  • Implementation
  • User Experience.
  • Functionality
  • Reporting
  • Too many clicks in certain areas.
  • Switching between modules.
  • Lack of easy chat help.
I feel like Paylocity is good for our size; I think if you were much larger, it would be not easy. I enjoy the user interface and think that it is easy to use on the administrative side. We have employees who are tech-savvy and require a system that is easy to use.

I use Paylocity for payroll, onboarding, managing employee personal/employment information, learning, and time & attendance.
  • On-boarding
  • Payroll processing including punching in/out
  • Payroll adding pay types and pay codes
  • Payroll reinstating employees
  • Better response time with Service/assistance with problem solving
  • Initial General Ledger setup requires more time
  • More online help instructions made available
Again, payroll process is well suited. However, when a new pay type or pay code is needed, a detail setup process for the code/type is needed immediately.

We are working to implement all of Paylocity's features in our organization. As of now we have begun with Time & Labor to track employees' hours and allow them to specify the work they are doing to accurately track across different projects/grants. We also have begun using recruitment to ensure we are able to create a seamless transition from recruiting to hiring. Performance management has helped us keep track of all performance reviews to make sure we are getting them completed in a timely fashion.
  • Time & Labor
  • Customer Service
  • Community
  • Workflows
  • Compliance Tracking
  • FMLA
Paylocity has been pretty receptive to our needs, providing us quick responses even when the response is not what we were hoping for. They have provided resources for us to learn how to better utilize the system. There have been some struggles with items that we thought were fully functioning, such as retro-pay. Workflows and processes are lacking.

payroll, timekeeping, onboarding, performance management, recruiting, digital personnel files
  • employee profile is easy to navigate
  • accessing paystubs is easy
  • some reports function well
  • In my experience, time off accruals are complicated and cannot be managed by the company, Paylocity has to build and edit
  • In my experience, lots of similar reports conflict with one another, the data is not consistent
  • In my experience, timekeeping is glitchy and certain actions like entering overnight shifts consistently result in missed punches and errors
  • In my experience, customer service is not helpful, they give different answers depending on which rep you get
  • In my experience, our account manager ignores my emails or takes 3-4 weeks to solve a request for me
  • In my experience, they are unwilling to rebuild our setup after many months of telling them it is not working
In my opinion, their customer service has gotten steadily worse over 2.5+ years and my employees seem to have multiple various problems with the system, never the same issue but no one can use it easily and well

I have worked in HR for over 15 years and Paylocity has been the best HR/Payroll system I have ever used. There is no such thing as perfect software but Paylocity beats the competition! They have a wonderful team of Client Support Reps that answer calls in less than 30 seconds every time. The system is robust with a lot of features but also extremely simplified and easy to use. We switched to Paylocity from another system because I needed a more robust platform for recruiting and onboarding. Paylocity has solved so many of my problems.
  • Applicant Tracking
  • Onboarding
  • Time and Attendance
  • Customer Service- dedicated rep
  • Adding multiple managers for time sheets

We utilize a variety of Paylocity's features, including HR & Payroll, timekeeping, ATS/recruiting, onboarding, and training. Paylocity makes updating and tracking employee information a breeze. The reporting feature assists with gathering data for mandated reporting and strategic planning. Paylocity has so many customizable features that we are still discovering new and better ways to utilize Paylocity.
  • Reporting
  • Recruiting
  • Customer service
  • Integration of timesheets and payroll
  • Expense module can be buggy
  • PTO requests can be tricky for managers/employees
Paylocity is well suited for a medium sized company (fewer than 500 employees). Smaller organizations may find that Paylocity has more features than they need, but Paylocity does allow you to pick and choose most features, so you can select the modules you need and not the ones you don't.

We use Paylocity as an HR and payroll management system. This is a one-stop shop for us that assists with all HR tasks from recruiting to onboarding, to time and attendance, payroll, training, benefits, expense management, and performance. We use the software daily. It is easy to use and utilized by all staff. The modules are user-friendly and intuitive.
  • User-friendly interface
  • All encompassing HR management
  • Great mobile app that is easy to use with a lot of functionality
  • Support - it used to be great but has done downhill in the past 12 months
  • They focus more on adding new features and modules than making sure the current and core products work well without bugs
This is great software for those who need a tool to manage "all things" personnel related. It can work great for an HR department of one or many. It is a good resource for our managers and supervisors as well.

We use Paylocity for HR, Payroll, Timekeeping, Performance, Recruiting, Onboarding, Learning Management, and Community. Payroll was the biggest business problem that we had - not being able to run it efficiently and without having to continually get assistance from our old payroll provider. Paylocity helps us streamline not only our payroll but also most of our HR processes!
  • Payroll
  • Recruiting
  • Onboarding
  • Learning Management.
  • Implementation could be a bit smoother.
  • Custom reports are not super easy to obtain.
Paylocity is well suited for do-it-yourself companies, where you do not need a lot of handholding. Paylocity is also well-suited for companies that need to streamline their HR department.

We currently use Paylocity for our time keeping system. We like the fact that employees have access to the app and can approve their timesheets right on the app and see important pay documents right at their fingertips. We also use this system to communicate information to employees as well as have them sign off on updated documents.
  • The customer service hotline is very friendly and helpful
  • We are able to keep all employee documents in one place
  • The learning center is very helpful
  • It would be nice to have employees information in one place instead of going to HR and Payroll file
  • It would be nice for Time and Labor and HR and Payroll to "talk " to each other sometimes. Like when we upload Job numbers we have to upload them in HR and Payroll then go to time and labor to upload them again as well as the state tax
Paylocity works really well for the employees that have to transfer to different job sites. It makes it very easy for them to clock in out to new locations. Paylocity also makes the onboarding process very easy to launch on the HR side as well as for the employees that are completing it

I think some areas where Paylocity is well suited are for situations like record keeping, updating personnel from company, easy and smooth process for Payroll, and honestly just overall function. I think where areas where Paylocity is a bit "less" appropriate is on areas where you need a bit of saving function. I've ran into times when I would have to rerun/recreate reports where I would have them saved but disappear the next day. I don't think it's Paylocity's overall fault, but it obviously has glitches from time.

We utilize the following sections in our company: HR & Payroll, Employee Voice, Time & Labor, Expense Reports, Learning, Performance, Data Insights, Compensation Time and Attendance Tracking: Paylocity offers solutions for tracking employee hours and managing time-off requests. Employee Self-Service: Paylocity's employee self-service portal allows employees to access their pay information, request time off, and update personal information.
  • Availability for questions
  • Mobile app access
  • The system doesn't speak to each other and it is a lot of manual work to change things like titles
  • There are a lot of system issues with a lot of work arounds but not streamlined solutions
  • Time off benefit balance is very confusing because in HR and payroll it is not real time based on what is already used/requested it is based on paid out
  • Limited automatic candidate matching
  • When they make changes they don't update their own resource library in a timely manner
If you are a small company that is set up exactly how Paylocity as a company is set up in workflows and processes then the system works great. If you aren't there are a lot of workarounds that take time and effort. You almost need a dedicated person to manage the system.

We use Paylocity for payroll, time keeping, PTO tracking, Performance, Benefit administration, Flexible spending accounts, including Cobra, Surveys, Compliance training.
  • Easy to use interface for employees
  • Always improving software to make it more user friendly
  • It has all services under one umbrella to streamline productivity
  • Needs to improve PTO accrual system and how vacation is displayed
  • Needs to allow cross company feedback for performance reviews
  • We need one contact who is knowledgeable about all products, especially those that are intertwined
It's well suited for a small company, who wants to streamline their HR function. With Paylocity, you can use one vendor for payroll, benefits, flexible spending accounts, expense management and they all communicate behind the scenes. Paylocity is not for big companies as there are too many unpredictable errors with no reasoning that the company can give as to why they happen. They would be missed if you have 1000's of employees.
