Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for payroll, recruiting, onboarding, performance reviews, and training. We love that the recruiting, hiring, onboarding and payroll processes are seamless. I also appreciate that Paylocity continues to improve and enrich their offerings. The ease of assigning policy and procedure training is very effective. We can manage compliance easily.
  • Onboarding
  • Payroll
  • Reporting
  • Surveys
  • Integration with outside benefits programs
  • Customizable Review and Goal Settings and Scoring
  • Termination of employees within a pay period doesn't work smoothly
  • Time & Labor integration with HR & Payroll reduces payroll errors. I had never done payroll before using Paylocity and the speed and accuracy has been so accurate.
  • Data Analytics makes it so easy to provide the executive team with quarterly data. I appreciate the new feature of being able to make the dashboard customizable.
  • The document library allows us to go paperless saving money on paper and storage.
Paylocity creates processes that allows HR and the management team to focus on their strategic work. The video tool is exciting and we have made a recruiting video that we will use for our next hires. This will bring our recruiting efforts to the next level in order to gain top talent.
We have an employee of the month survey that goes out and all the nomination comments get put into Journal entries. This helps morale as the employee can see peer recognition. We don't uses Community as we should because we use Teams for our internal communications and management did not want to have employees go to another platform.
Paycom focuses too much on the app making it difficult to create the data output for evaluations.

Do you think Paylocity delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Paylocity's feature set?

Yes

Did Paylocity live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

Paylocity is well suited for employees to check their pay on the app and to update personal information themselves.

Tasks still appear on the Self-service Portal even if the task is deleted.

I like the Company Links on the app so employees can easily get to the handbook and benefits guide.
