Ease of use and cost were our top considerations. I had worked w/ Paylocity in the past so was familiar with the platform. I had no issues w/ it in the past, but this go round has been plagued by issues.

The possibility of having all HR Processes in one platform was a major selling point for use. We wanted to streamline processess and Paylocity served that purpose.Other reasons were: price, and how easy the implementation process was.

  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
I wouldn't say there is a single most important factor in our decision but one of the most important factor was the timekeeping. We had employees keep track of their time by writing it on timecards. It was nice to have them clock in and out through an app or by computer. Another factor that was important is the onboarding. We were able to do away with a lot of paper copies and have new hire do the onboarding through Paylocity.

  • Product Usability
We have a mixed workforce of admins, and a deskless workforce. We wanted something that was robust on the backend, but would have a simple, easy to use employee interface so that we could automate processes and make everything digital. Price was also important to us because we were expecting growth in the company and we wanted a sustainable p/p/m.

  • Ease of Use
We are a very small organization so the ease of use was very important and we also did not want to overcomplicate processes and procedures that were already in place. It is hard to get "buy in" from management when a system is difficult or takes a long implementation process.
