Everytime I have to call paylocity, my wait time is very minimal and when someone does answer they are curteous and lets me explain the issue that I am having and helps me through resolving the issue in which I called. The staff at Paylocity is remarkable. Having Paylocity is an asseet for me.

This is the way!

I rarely get assistance on the first call. Rarely do I receive a call back when a ticket is put in. The person that answers so frequently does not know how to help me.

Paylocity's customer support is one of the features I will always brag about to any who asks. I love that fact that we had a dedicated integration rep from day one and she helped me get acclimated to the web-based payroll system very effectively. Once integration was complete, I was assigned my regular client services rep who took very good care of me for several years.

Turn around time on questions is pretty quick. You can call in or e-mail with any questions you have. If the person assisting you cannot help, they try to get answers for you as soon as possible. I still reach out to our salesperson and she ALWAYS tries to point me in the right direction or will have someone call me in case my questions are out of her scope.

For most questions, I receive service within 24 hours, and they are very helpful. However, for several significant issues that needed to be addressed quickly it took weeks or even months to get an answer and the issue resolved.

This is hard to rate. Sometimes service is great othertimes it's very lacking. I find that I can figure most things out on my own and that I know more than some of the service managers. Some issues take forever to be corrected.

Most of the time you can get a person right away. Even though that person is not necessarily your rep, they are able to answer your questions. If they don't know the answer they reach out to others. Some are more knowledgeable than others but overall the experience has been good.

Support has been pretty good. It does sometimes take a while for someone to get back to me and sometimes I figure it out before they answer me back. I have also taught them a few things they didn't know about their system. I assume some of these folks are newer to the company and are still learning.

We switched to Paylocity in part because of the poor support on our old system. During implementation, Paylocity support was phenomenal and the first couple of year, so was service support. That has declined in the last year or two as it seems more of a team approach to addressing issues rather than a dedicated account rep. FSA support has always been bad for us though. We've tried to get other people involved in hopes of fixing the problem, but still have run into issues each year that it comes time for open enrollment. The FSA program other than that is fantastic!

The support I received for our tax issue was horrible. Took forever to get fixed. Asked again to send in the tax form that was originally sent.

Initial response from Paylocity generally does not answer the question asked. And when we had a major issue recently on the benefits side, we were tossed around for several weeks before we got to someone who was able to pinpoint what happened and offer assistance.

When I reach out for issues, they have been very responsive. I have not, however, had any contact with the implementation team or assistance with the setup of the new module and that is extremely disappointing!

Efficient HRIS Platform.
