Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Timekeeping, payroll, taxes, Orientation, HR
  • rolling time to payroll
  • transferring information to our benefit vendors
  • Geo tagging logins
  • Payroll implementation
  • time to respond to service needs
  • Less hours needed from HR
  • Easier time approval for managers
  • Less expensive for more product than ADP and other quotes
Paylocity interacting with our benefit website has saved hours of open enrollment time needed by HR and associates. We will be putting in the tracking of days off that we did not implement this year due to time constraints. This will save hours of time on all sides. Less phone calls. Our HR Department became a department of one since the move to Paylocity. This would have been impossible without the features we now have.
Training on the time side means sending them to the site and not having to do it internally. The ability to make their own changes, allows the onus to be on the employee. They are now much more cognizant of keeping their information correct. I am not sure that anyone is looking at the other tools.
ADP was very costly for less products. Their customer service was awful. They made changes to the platform with no warning or discussion. Paylocity is better at all of those.

Report writing was easier under ADP but that can also be the 15 years that I used it, so it was second nature.

Would you buy Paylocity again?

They work within the price range available. Their timekeeping implementation could not have been any better. Lenai (sp?) was nothing short of amazing. I was able to reach out to her for months after she was finished her role. In my experience, your payroll implementation was horrible. My first rep left 3 months prior to implementation, and no one told me. The new rep said she sent me emails and I didn't respond so she gave up. She was sending to an incorrect email address. Once she got up into my issues, I had to reach out to the time side to push the payroll side. It was awful! On a weekly payroll basis, it is easier to process, the automation is wonderful. Service needs to be quicker, especially on payroll processing day. Without these two issues, I really am happy with Paylocity and glad I moved from ADP.
