Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for EVERYTHING! It is our HRIS system, payroll processing, recruiting, onboarding, Employee Handbook creation, compensation, performance management, reporting. We were using paper everything for HRIS and with Onboarding we've saved time and created a much more efficient process! No more manual reports, I get everything I want with Report Writer.

Pros

  • Custom Reports and Import Reports
  • Benefit System Integrations
  • Onboarding

Cons

  • Sometimes the service representative doesn't give clear answers to problems
  • Demo or Sandbox company to try new features would be nice
  • No third party tax department
  • Reduced time means reduced money - I can focus on what is important
  • Reduced costs while providing more flexibility
  • Reduced errors and time tracking PTO
Since implementing the full suite of Paylocity features, we are spending a lot less time on day to day items. Employees can make many changes to their own file themselves now. I can post jobs to multiple sites from Paylocity instead of posting separately on each individual site. Screening candidates with multiple team members is much easier now.
We are just starting to use the Community and Peer Recognition features, so I can't give a great answer for this one. However, I can see the value and benefit of using them, which is why I'm working to integrate them more into our employee's day to day interactions with eachother and Paylocity.
We use isolved before Paylocity. It was expensive and the customer service was increasingly frustrating to the point of TERRIBLE. We looked at Paychex, ADP and Paycom, but for the money we felt Paylocity was the best bet. We were right! I've never had customer service complaints like I did with isolved.

We went from a company of 75 to 138 literally overnight. Paylocity has decreased my time spent in Onboarding and reporting. We kept manual spreadsheets for compensation and performance and it's all automated with Paylocity. They have tons of readily available reports, but if you're needing something special, they can write a custom report or you can write your own in Report Writer. They created our Employee Handbook in both English and Spanish and helped me launch an online event to get everyone's signature on the handbook acknowledgement page. They've made my life so much easier!

Using Paylocity

We have Managers and Supervisors that use Paylocity to approve PTO for their direct reports and their time cards as well. I have Managers who use Paylocity to determine increases and handle performance management.
2 - As the Director of Human Resources for a company with 100+ employees, I am the user most often in Paylocity. I process the payroll, handle the onboarding, set up the jobs for recruiting, deal with the performance management process and compensation process and provide reports to outside vendors as well as our Finance department.
  • Integrate and import into our Accounting software
  • Handbook creation in English and Spanish
  • Communicate in a single location with all employees
