Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for payroll, benefits, performance, surveys, and onboarding. It's a one-stop spot for our HRIS system.
  • Reporting capabilities
  • Customer Service - We've had multiple open issues for months with no resolutions and now no dedicated service team.
  • Allow better impersonation of employees
  • Allow admins more capabilities for making changes - like security/access levels versus having to put in a ticket
  • We've had to spend more time following up with Paylocity than we should. Our own productivity has therefore decreased in our daily jobs having to stay on top of things.
Can't think of anything that ties back to automating our processes other than being able to customize the onboarding piece and load up our own policies, etc. for sign off.
We use surveys to collect feedback. This has been very useful to gather information in a private manner from employees and roll it out to senior leadership.

Do you think Paylocity delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Paylocity live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Paylocity again?

No

Implementation was great and we had a pretty solid first 6 months using the software. From there issues started building up. We had a recurring meeting with our account rep which was helping but then she disappeared and we got re-assigned. This individual has not helped us and we've escalated it for the past several weeks. We still have a bunch of unsolved answers with year end looming.
