  • Customer service. I have appreciated being able to call in whenever I have a question or issue and I am able to talk to an actual person who is knowledgeable and kind.
  • User Interface. The system is easy to navigate through and find what you need. This was a big improvement for us from our previous system.
  • Robust. There is a lot to the system and we have enjoyed being able to do a lot of things within one software rather than having to log into multiple systems for each small task or process.

Paylocity is a great service
