Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity to process payroll, onboard virtually, performance reviews, store personnel files and much more. Payroll was done manually in the past and we had a file cabinet full of personnel files. Paylocity streamlined everything. The software is more efficient and accurate when it comes to reporting and paying taxes.
  • payroll processing
  • easy to use app
  • robust reporting
  • point of contact changes often and sometimes receive conflicting information from different people
  • GL team and tax team are always too busy and responses take too long
  • The approval workflow for documents should be more intuitive for a more complex org chart
  • Payroll Processing
  • Reporting
  • Quickbooks integration, FSA integration and retirement integration
  • cut payroll processing time in half
  • collecting and submitting taxes is automated
  • PPP Loan reports were created in a timely fashion

No

Paylocity is a great stepping stone from a more manual payroll and tax process. Once implemented and administration is trained, the process is more efficient and probably cut four hours off of my payroll processing time. The Performance module automated our review process as well. Now, everyone can easily look up their past reviews right in their Paylocity account. If employees need something, they can usually just find it right in their account, opposed to contacting HR and and HR finding it for them. Paylocity does have a slower response time for certain things and when I ask that the problem be escalated, I never know who it is going to and status updates are few and far between. For example, I needed to report a cash bonus for a few employees. One person told me to do it one way, which was incorrect, and then the other person had to back that out and do it another way. This took over a month to unravel and in the end I had to manually adjust the GL.
