Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an HR Consultant and have multiple clients who use Paylocity. I have helped them create and formalize everything from their onboarding packets to their performance review processes in the system. Most of these companies had informal, paper processes, which have now been streamlined and automated in Paylocity.

Pros and Cons

Easy to use/user friendly
Customer service team always picks up calls within a reasonable time
Has most HR functional areas covered through their system modules.

Take too long to respond to certain technical issues
certain features available but cannot be used fully such as workflows outside of onboarding

Return on Investment

Less paper used since processes more automated
Less time spent by employees on figuring out how to submit a document (e.g. request for time off)

Paylocity Automated Processes

Automated PTO requests, automated onboarding packets, currently about to automate performance management

Paylocity Employee Engagement

Surveys is the one that we have used and is working really well and there is much room to use this to obtain feedback from all levels of employees on multiple subjects. Still have not used the others, but plan to in 2023.

Alternatives Considered

ADP Workforce Now, Paycor and Arcoro HR

Paylocity is definitely most user friendly out of all the platforms I have worked in and the flow of the information and various modules, to me, make most sense as organized within Paylocity.

Likelihood to Recommend

Paylocity is great for companies that are growing and building up their processes. I find the system to be straight forward and extremely user friendly. The scenarios where Paylocity may still not be a perfect fit are those where a company already has fully established processes that they are not willing to deviate from and need extreme customization which Paylocity may not be able to provide.

Paylocity is worth it!
