Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At PAMED, we currently use Paylocity as our HRIS and payroll processor. Beginning with onboarding, through the employee lifecycle, including performance reviews and then exiting the company. Being an HR department of one, I rely on Paylocity as the front face to employees for all of their Human Resource matters.

Pros and Cons

Payroll
Community
Recruiting

Availability of customer support in person instead of via email
Ability to record PTO outside of the payroll process

Return on Investment

Definitely more consistent processes

Paylocity Automated Processes

Again, only being one year into Paylocity, the automation of some of the processes are priceless. Staff have their own duties to deal with on a daily basis and need not worry about HR tasks being over looked. Notification that items are open and need completed are well received and not looked at like they are being monitored.

Paylocity Employee Engagement

We have begun using the Community tool as our sole location for employee announcements of any kind. The staff like that they are notified when there is a new announcement and the fact that they can comment on different items. We are looking to start using the premium video as part of on onboarding process.

Alternatives Considered

Our previous hris platform was with TeamSuite (a kronos product). Unfortunately, that product did not have the capability to customize that we could use it to its fullest potential. We are a small organization and tend to have idiosyncrasies that were not able to be accommodated with their product. As of today, all of the items we have rolled out to staff have been able to be customized to our needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are literally just 1 year into the use of Paylocity as our HRIS vendor. To date, most everything is going very well. The implementation team was fantastic as we have some oddities in our processes and they worked to make them as functional as possible in the system. As stated before, I am an HR department of one and wish I had a bit more time to spend within the system to make it work to its fullest potential for our organization. The only thing I wish was better is being able to speak with our account representative in person instead of consistently through email. Sometimes, explanations through email get lost/misinterpreted. I am glad we made the switch to Paylocity last year.
