Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity has made it easier to complete payroll and quarterly taxes. It automates almost all of my tasks.
  • Ease of Payroll
  • Attendance
  • Time in/out
  • Time & labor connectivity with HR/Payroll
  • Our onboarding when we originally switched was chaotic
  • Too much adding info in both time and labor and HR/Payroll
  • Never able to talk to our account manager.
  • Reduction in payroll errors
  • Increased accountability of staff time
  • Reduced time in processing payroll
  • Increase in HR related information
We have been able to start using the recruiting function as we spend less time on payroll and payroll related issues.
Our staff hasn't been utilizing the community engagement as much as they should be. It is a goal for the upcoming year.
We like the functionality of Paylocity better and the pricing

  • Tracking Time in and out
  • Payroll
  • HR
  • Recruiting
  • Annual reviews
  • trying to utilize the recruiting function
  • want to utilize the survey functionality more
  • We need to start using the community feature more
Paylocity is working fine for us. They have given us no reason to switch and it is time consuming and not fiscally responsible to switch often.

Evaluating Paylocity and Competitors

Yes - Ecca a local firm. They were difficult to use.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
Paylocity had more features
I would make sure our onboarding was done correctly and completely

Paylocity Implementation

I would make sure you have a dedicated team at Paylocity to complete the implementation. We had staff from Paylocity quit and things were not completed properly. They dropped the ball so to speak on that portion of it. we have encountered multiple issues since then and are still not using the Time off tracking to its full capabilities.
  • Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal
  • Lack of communication
  • Not completing the time and labor module. Paylocity staff just quit

Paylocity Support

We have had to contact support often for things that were not setup or not set up properly to begin with. The time and labor was not completed properly. The staff that helps us have been great. Just wish it was done properly to begin with.

no. Wasn't offered.
Yes - Paylocity originally was linking to LinkedIn. The connectivity was not there. They never got back to me on it but I see that feature no longer exists.
Needed to add our PTO policy in. It was never done at the inception. The staff who helped us got it done in a day.

Using Paylocity

Very easy to use and self explanatory. If you run into trouble, they have published help articles to get you through it.
