The implementation was a little strssful at first with figuring out all the ins and outs on how to going about implementing this with all my employees. Once I navigated through everything, then things seemed to move more smoothly. Other that it being a little time consuming, I know feel it was well worth it.

A highly-professional team was great to work one on one with me as we went through the implementation process. They walked me through my first two pay runs and didn't let me work on my own until we all felt I was comfortable with the systems and processes. Highly recommend!

Implementation was relatively smooth. We used different ID numbers with this system so that took some getting used to. That was the biggest issue with the employees. Implementation for the employees running payroll was not an issue as we had extensive training.

The implementation team walked me through the payroll and it worked. I just wish that we had started about two weeks earlier in preparation to make sure that all the employees were set up correctly before the rushed payroll.

With any new software there are always growing pains. You have to learn the software. Having people accessible to answer your questions is key.

Excellent Product!

We had one implementation member that was unresponsive. But their supervisor stepped in quickly to finish our implementation process.

there weren't many issues with the implementation of paylocity. Again, we don't have that many employees so it was easy to do spot checking to make sure each bucket was filled in correctly from the other database we were using. We have much functionality with paylocity and I do a lot less manual report than I did before.

Paylocity - HRIS automation software that works most of the time.

We were handed off to multiple implementation people, some quit, one went on leave, one left suddenly, one was transfered to a diff dept...all causing a significant amount of disruption for our team. Many had conflicting info on how to properly set things up...hence a complete mess was left for us to figure out.

Everything HR in one place!

I had gone through an implementation process of another HR platform (Paycom) in my previous job and was traumatized, it was painful. I was surprised how easy and fast it was with Paylocity, the team was very helpful and set us up for success.

This was a while ago for me now, but it went well. I feel like there is a lot that is left to the individual to learn how to do, but the big things like payroll were implemented very well. We have added modules and had a really positive experience implementing all of those as well.
