I use Paylocity for HR and Payroll as well as Time and Labor. For the most part, I am very happy with Paylocity. The problem comes when you need help through customer support. If you call their helpline, they do well, but if you try to use the chat option, they do not always help. Also, if you try to add a module or new feature, the team that helps in this area is not very attentive. You would think they would be interested in more business. When I first signed up for Paylocity several years ago, they were much more attentive the first couple of years, but as time has gone on, they are losing good customer support.
  • User-friendly
  • Staff can understand it
  • Like it
  • Their chat online needs to have better customer support and relation
  • When adding new modules/features the customer should be attended to quickly
I used to give Paylocity a 10, but would not give their chat a 10. There are a couple when their names pop up I just disconnect and will not try to chat with them because they are. It helpful.

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.
Easy to use
You can educate yourself or even your employees with the training/library/learning system they have integrated
Payroll Processing is easy to add, delete, or edit

We use Paylocity to track employees time, process payroll, assist in recruiting and onboarding and are in process to roll out new functionalities with open enrollment and benefits coordination.
  • Ease of use
  • Availability of reports
  • Good customer service and support
  • Does not interface with our 403 (b) provider, an API would be useful
  • Does not interface with our current Financial software, again an API would be useful
We have given out a bonus to employees for the last 3 years; this year I used Paylocity's net to gross feature to calculate the amounts and used the firm to print the employee checks. Something that used to take half a day was completed in about an hour.

  • Reduced overall time to process and monitor payroll
  • Eliminated manual steps in the payroll and HR processes
  • Improved management visibility into metrics related to staffing and retention
Tracking of open jobs, including candidates, has improved. The real time org chart preparation is very helpful. Being about to house related documents in the employee's profile is also very helpful.
We are able to broadcast policy updates and changes to employees in real time, requesting that they review and sign off. This used to be done manually through email and pen and paper, so this change has been very helpful!
Paylocity's responsiveness and ease of use far outpaces both other solutions!

No
  • Ease of Use
Ease of use for admins AND employees was the biggest key for us.
Likely would not have changed the process - it yielded good results!
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
It's best to have policies and procedures well documented before implementing; that way you only need to adjust your documentation to what the system can or can't do. It's also key to be flexible and try to use the system as it's designed for as much as possible.
  • Some of our time off policies were not native to Paylocity but were able to be navigated pretty simply
The scripted process was executed very well by the staff members and made adoption very easily.
  • Online Training
The rigor of the process and the multiple touch points made adoption very easy to adopt and use. We had good trainers who had knowledge within their scope as well as "upstream" and "downstream".
It seems to be just about right, the challenge is making sure that you're maximizing what you can do with configuration versus out of the box functionalities.
Nothing specific, however touch points with an account manager to discuss what's been working/not working with the system 3-6 months after implementation would be helpful. The AM is available on call, but having that set up, similar to implementation, would be helpful.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
Some - we have added small pieces of custom code
We had to add codes for unique PTO policies that we have; configuration was relatively easy, but it led to manual steps on the back end of the process.
None currently
I like that I don't have to get "my" account manager to get solid information in a timely fashion. It definitely makes a difference!
No, I don't believe that we did. We wanted to see how the basic function / set up would work with the option to add the premium support later if necessary.
No
Needed to run a bonus payroll at year end with employees expected to receive a flat amount ($100, $500, $1,000). Paylocity's net to gross spreadsheet made this EXTREMELY easy. Something that previously took hours was done in minutes. And this was all discovered by a support call to Paylocity!
Logical set up, simple menus and a good rollout training made the difference.
  • Payroll processing
  • Timecard correction / approval
  • Expense management is easy to use for both users and admin
  • None
Yes
Most staff only use the mobile interface, and it appears to work very well for them.
We are a smaller agency that only uses limited amounts of the functionality, but there are tools that I would have used at previous and larger entities where I was employed. The only limit to scale is how much time the business is willing invest.
Only one time in over 2 years of use where the system became unavailable during a key time. The issue was also resolved quickly, limiting any downstream complications.
It is one of the quickest loading cloud based programs that I use and there are limited drops in coverage/availability.
  • Previously, attempted to integrate with GL; have upgraded GL but have not yet integrated
No deep yet - we have updated other systems and will be looking to tie Paylocity in to them, yet it has not been done at present.
  • General Ledger
  • EHR
  • 403 (b) system (Pen Serv)
  • MS Power BI
Not certain of the top 2, but I know that there is not an available API for our 403 (b) program, which IS a limitation in our use of the Paylocity system.
  • File import/export
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
None that I know of.
We have only done limited integration at this point.
Uncertain - our exposure at present is only limited in scope.
Knowledgeable and very candid, which is appreciated AND refreshing
The fact that our salesperson remains attached to the account is key, in my opinion. It keeps continuity and allows for better customer experience.
Limited usage of professional services.
Not much negotiation - the standard contract worked well for our needs.
The system is priced well, especially given that it is almost always "up". We have other solutions for which we pay more that have less "up" time and longer lead to resolution of "bugs" or issues.
The salesperson makes all the difference. The one with which we worked was top notch and ensured that we made it through implementation to full usage well.

My company uses Paylocity to accurately track and pay employees. Our employees clock in using a biometric scanner. We are currently underutilizing Paylocity's full advantages but I am currently working on active troubleshooting and testing with a few trusted employees so we can have our employees utilize the app.
  • clock in
  • direct deposit
  • answer any and all question I have
  • Clarity of the app, it seems very basic and rough compared to other companies such as adp
  • case manager should know more about how to use the website instead of just being able to sell it
  • not such a quick log out of the website due to inactivity
Paylocity is well suited to quickly paying basic hours worked, i.e. if an employee works 40 hours they get paid 40 hours. It gets a little difficult when you are trying to add second rates or commissions and can only do it at the end when you are submitting payroll.

  • more consistent processes
  • reduced costs
  • easier to pull up employee information
When we figured out how to utilize core aspects better such as vacation tracking, it gave us the ability to delete some extra files such as excel sheets.
We do not utilize this feature at this time.

It was so we could accurately track the associates hours
I wouldn't.
  • Implemented in-house
No
  • Enforcing the guys to clock in and out
  • accurately tracking time off
When I came on board and learned the system and started applying it more implementation has gone well.
  • Online Training
Seems straight forward
just right for the hand scanner
Some - we have done small customizations to the interface
pretty simple
Almost always the help hotline always finds a way to help me figure out a solution.

Our biometric scanner stopped working, I reached out in the morning, and I finally got a response late in the afternoon. The gentleman I received went through all the troubleshooting with me, overnighted a new scanner to me, and emailed me directions that were supposed to be in the box, but they were not. He was a lifesaver.
It is very simple and straightforward.
  • time & labor

  • adding commissions

It is very elementary and rough when it comes to presentation.
It is simple to use and straight forward
