Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity is used across our entire company in 4 states.
  • I have a difficult time finding ANYTHING that is particularly good about Paylocity.
  • It is difficult to make changes/cumbersome.
  • Authority levels make no sense.
  • We are currently unable to adjust employee times... for 2 days!!
  • Reporting is limited to canned reports. Getting information from this system is ridiculous.
  • Not one week goes by without some problem.
  • One of the worst decisions we've made.
  • Caused more work with less return.
  • We're collecting data that can't be retrieved.
We've been waiting TWO days just to be able to adjust employee times!
