Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for payroll, salary management and tracking, tax compliance, training, and HR functions like employee management, employee self service (direct deposit, W-4) and more.

Pros

  • Local taxes
  • Change history
  • Integration with other platforms

Cons

  • Site organization and lay out
  • Customer service (no consistent team)
  • Customer service response to issues
  • Response & resolution timing (can take weeks)
  • Timely payroll
  • HR files
  • Tax compliance
  • Customer support
We primarily use Paylocity for payroll. Despite the fact that we're a small organization, we still need to customize payroll every cycle due to variances so full automation isn't really possible. What Paylocity does offer does make the process very quick and efficient however.
We have moved surveys and compliance workflows (employee signature and acknowledgement) into Paylocity which has been convenient and easy. Being able to house more functions on one platform like Paylocity is a relief.
Paylocity is convenient and its functionality is constantly improving. However if there are issues, it could take months for said issues to be addressed and resolved.
Paylocity is better organized and way more robust.
