Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Time & Labor and the Payroll areas are used. We also have FSA/HSA/Cobra through Paylocity. We had 10 different EIN #'s so I run 10 different payroll semi-monthly. I have had issues with the monthly billing invoices, and I have had issues with the tax department on getting the new tax rates set up correctly each January.

Pros and Cons

making direct deposits happen the next day after submittal when pay dates don't allow for the one banking day between submittal and direct deposit
The reps on the phone are usually very knowledgeable when I call in with questions
communication - always receiving emails about updates in the system

the tax department needs to be more accurate when entering new tax rates yearly
the billing department needs to know how much a client should be billed

Return on Investment

I have used a number of different payroll sites in previous jobs, and I am the one that selected Paylocity within 6 months of being hired at this job, and I feel Paylocity is the best payroll system that I have used so far.

Paylocity Automated Processes

I like that I can upload the Time & Labor right to the Payroll dashboard - what a time saver not to have to enter hours manaully

Paylocity Employee Engagement

Unfortunately these items are not used at this time. The company is spread out over 3 states and 10 different payrolls, so they do not care to share info from office to office.

Alternatives Considered

I definitely prefer the ease of using Paylocity over any other payroll systems that I have used.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Paylocity is a very easy system to use & whenever there are glitches, Paylocity gets right on it to fix the problem.
Again, I believe the tax department needs improving. There should not be mistakes annually when the new tax rates are to be entered. This should be handled very carefully and very accurately, and there just isn't room for errors when entering tax rates. If needed, have a second person in the tax department check what has been entered.
