Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use it for Time and Labor, HRIS, as well as a community forum that employees can connect with one another on. Overall, we have used/currently use the majority of the modules including Learning, Surveys, HR & Payroll, Time & Labor, and are currently implementing Recruiting and Onboarding to be completed by the end of the year.

Pros

  • Provides numerous documents for assistance/guidance
  • Ease of use for end users
  • Implementation team we had was thorough

Cons

  • Missing a general PTO accrual calculator
  • Communication between Time and Labor and HR and Payroll is not there
  • Bug fixes tend to take a while to implement and/or communications of fixes are lacking
  • Organization of information in one location
  • Provided outlet for employees to connect with one another virtually (including those remote)
Time tracking and review of timecards has decreased amount of time spent by Accounting team to review/approve prior to running payroll.
The community forum allows for employees to give "kudos" to others in the organization to recognize those individuals that go above and beyond. We have also integrated those into our annual reviews.
Cost was the number one seller on why we switched from ADP. We are happy with our change as a lot of the functions of ADP are present in Paylocity as well.

Do you think Paylocity delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Paylocity's feature set?

Yes

Did Paylocity live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

No

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

When supervisors/managers edit timecards, they have stated that the process is clear and easy to complete.

When we first implemented the system, there were many things that my colleagues and I needed to find more information on related to general use of the system. The knowledge base for administrators was expansive and covered a lot of our initial questions.
