Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Since we transitioned to Paylocity starting January 1st, 2023, our HR Department can act smoothly. We have everything in one place, and we can even save money on Recruiting.

The only situation that we would love to improve from them is the Customer Service experience through email, or in general, they take a little longer to help you with your matter. It would be perfect if they implement a system where we can open a ticket and get a response immediately without calling them.

The recruiting, onboarding, and hiring process is incredible, you can play with the system around to move your candidates from status, or from Recruiting to Onboarding if you extend a job offer. This makes you save time and money since your new hire will be able to fill out all the information electronically, and that account will be created for them during the onboarding process. Once they start, they will be in your system.
  • Recruiting, the connection we have between Indeed, and ZipRecruiter with extra charges.
  • Payroll processing is easy and reliable.
  • Employee administration is easy to use as well, as organized.
  • Customer Service - Create an option to submit tickets for help.
  • Reporting, it would be better with a better reporting system.
  • Chat under community will be helpful for employee communication.
  • Reduced time in recruiting
  • Reduced errors
  • Reduced costs
Just during customer service responses is when Paylocity affects our business. They take a lot of time to response, and we need to wait until they get resolved an issue.
A lot of engagement. We can inform our employees by posting some announcements, and they can post their comments.
More resources for HR.
