Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity is used for Human Resources onboarding, benefits administration as well as payroll. We utilize the performance review features, learning is tracked as well as assignment of courses, time & labor, benefits, as well as HR & Payroll. As a rapidly growing company, this software has helped with growth while easily maintaining personnel files. The Recruiting and Onboarding tool is a fantastic time saver.
  • Payroll processing procedure and necessary corrections are easy to follow and happen in a timely manner.
  • Organizes Personnel records while allowing managers the ability to add journals to files.
  • Recruiting and onboarding saves time while tracking the processes of each candidate.
  • Maintain Benefits records, allowing demographics updates along with enrollments and terminations.
  • Supplies reporting to balance monthly benefits invoicing.
  • Includes a report writer that is easy to use.
  • One onboarding step pertaining to W-4, tax withholding forms requires a review of the form with the SUBMIT/FINISH option above the form that is being viewed, causing the NEXT STEP option to be selected without SUBMIT or FINISH, causing an incomplete onboarding process. If the SUBMIT/FINISH option was at the end, or a warning given before allowing NEXT STEP to be selected, it would be very helpful.
  • During training, having the company being trained to review Knowledge base or training allows very basic information to be retained. It is only helpful if you require the information at that time, otherwise, you will end up back "retraining" yourself when it is time. I believe a bit more of actual training, instead of "please watch these lessons" would be easier to retain the information.
  • Reduced time processing time cards in a Customer Set instead of individual companies.
  • Stronger processes to complete payroll.
  • Quick reporting with a large selection of reports.
  • Report writer option allowing HR information to be combined with Payroll and Time Card data
Paylocity has helped to automate our hiring process as well as onboarding. The system has streamlined the process and created an easy tracking of all candidates and hires.
The community section helps to communicate with all employees or select employees as necessary. The staff has appreciated being able to be immediately updated on the various notices, surveys, and posts that we have shared.
The sales staff was very informative, listened to our needs, and presented us with this information without being pushy. Other companies seemed to be more interested in selling while losing track of our requirements. Our sales person was extremely informative and brought very knowledgeable people into the calls while addressing every request that we made.

The staff is very helpful and usually very quick to get back to you with answers that they need assistance with. Paylocity has moved our company from a very manual payroll & HR software to a much more automated process. The payroll section of Paylocity is a quick process.

Paylocity has saved a lot of time. Once we made it through implementation, the procedures are much quicker.

Evaluating Paylocity and Competitors

Yes - We were using PayData (now known as Asure). It was a very manual system that worked well when the company was under 50 employees.
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
The pricing was ultimately comparable to what we were paying with a much more manual system.

Paylocity Support

The support staff that I have worked with have been very knowledgeable and responsive. I couldn't ask for more.

Using Paylocity

Some features take a little bit of time to understand, once they make sense, it is very user friendly.
