Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Paylocity is our HRIS, payroll system, and performance management system. Our employees use it to submit time sheets, request time off, see paystubs, access performance reviews, and occasionally take e-learnings. We also handle onboarding through Paylocity. We do not utilize the recruiting module or the survey module at this time.

Paylocity Automated Processes

We use automation for Payroll in for payroll but not much else. We tried to use their workflows for employee changes, but we found they were not robust enough to capture all the items we were looking to capture. I wish there were more training on the automation available within Paylocity.

Paylocity Employee Engagement

We really enjoy using Impressions. We have more formal employee recognition programs (similar to Employee of the Month), but having a great peer-to-peer, more casual way to recognize people. We also imported our own company values into the Impressions portal so that employees can recognize each other based on the values that we strive for.

Alternatives Considered

BambooHR

Paylocity has much more functionality than BambooHR. I think BambooHR was simpler to use and had a cleaner look, but it did not have integrated Payroll, and it could not report out at the level that Paylocity reports out on. BambooHR is too barebones for the needs of our growing organization.

Likelihood to Recommend

Paylocity is a great tool for Payroll and performance management. Where I find it lacks the most is its inability to organize employee changes in a way that is easy to report on. To pull a report on which employees have received a pay rate increase in the last year is a manual task of sifting through hundreds of changes. This needs to be improved.
