Errors are greatly reduced. We had tried in the past to get payroll closed by 10am on Tuesday - we now close by 10am on Monday. Greater transparency with employees and managers has also helped. Seamless transfer of information for 403b plan partner has been great as well - saves a great deal of time and no errors.

We are not utilizing some of these products but would like to revisit them again. After reviewing the previous screen it became clear that I am not using all the tools at my disposal. The director of operations could use a lot of this to help manage the staff and the managers.

Paylocity has automated payroll a little bit more for us. Payroll still takes quite some time and we have to create certain spreadsheets for journal entries to work nicely with Quickbooks. Taking over taxes has been nice for us. The automation of 401k and HSA payments has been very nice.

I don't know that it's "affected" business in that sense but it definitely is very beneficial to me to use. It's relatively simple and to-the-point that makes it simple and saves me a lot of time.

We used to spend a lot of time keeping track of time off balances and employees always had to ask what their balances are but now the employees have this at their fingertips. We don't use the scheduling function as all employees work a similar schedule. However, I have explored that process and I am impressed with how it could help if we had varying schedules.

HRM system that works

With the recruiting module. We would post a position which posts to various boards such as Iowa Workforce and Indeed. Applications come in and HR and the hiring manager is notified. We can set up an automatic response to schedule a time for phone screening. Once a phone screen is done, we can share this on the recruiting module and proceed with scheduling of an interview or an auto response of not accepted. This has saved us many hours.

Consolidated our COBRA and HRA into Paylocity recently to allow more time for every day work. Continue to struggle with staff shortage so any and all automation, providing that automation delivers correct information, helps.

They have helped quite a bit. I love the automation in a lot of areas that allow us to focus on strategy. We spend less time dealing with paperwork. I like the autoreject ability when candidates don't pass screening, so I can spend less time reviewing candidates who are not qualified. It's easier to share information about candidates. It is also easy to gauge raises and percentages. I like how managers can see the OT.

ConnectOne Bank separated HR functions from Benefits and Payroll. HR utilizes talent acquisition and onboarding which has streamlined the new hire process from background checks and offer letters to the data entry process. On the benefits and payroll side, automation has streamlined new hire benefit enrollments and the entire open enrollment process.
