Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We switched to Paylocity in July 2022. Our old system was cumbersome and not user-friendly. Paylocity offered us a new, modern-looking platform that could help us with payroll, time & labor, benefits, and time off tracking. One major highlight was the 360-degree file feed integration with our 401k provider. This one feature eliminated countless steps and decreased the chance for human error as the employee's changes on the website feed directly to Paylocity and are automatically updated.

Pros and Cons

Listens to clients and implements solutions that really help.
Reacts quickly to issues and gets to the root of a problem.
Provides automated workflows that eliminate steps!

Implementation consolidation needs help. They could benefit from a project manager overseeing all parts of a new client's implementation.
When selling their features, they are not totally upfront about its capabilities or they mislead you to think the system will do exactly what you need it to do.
Hard to access your direct account manager, even though they sell it as this is always your point of contact.

Return on Investment
