Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for Payroll, Benefits Administration, New Hire Onboarding, Time & Labor, and Learning Management Software. It's great because it has a Self-Service Portal for all employees to make changes to their employee profile, we can lock down time care punches to a Geofence to ensure employees are where they are supposed to be, and it makes payroll taxes a breeze.

Pros

  • Geofence locations to only allow employees to clock in and out from authorized locations.
  • Self-Service Portal - employees can update their taxes, direct deposit, benefits enrollment, contact information, and view check stubs all from their portal.
  • Benefits Enrollment - it's so helpful to have carrier connection feeds from Paylocity to our insurance provider so we eliminate the manual admin side of enrollment.

Cons

  • While you can access an account manager at any time and they are helpful, it would be nice to speak to your dedicated account manager on a regular basis.
  • EDI feeds for 3rd party integrations take an extremely long time to set up. 6-8 weeks to be assigned an EDI specialist which is entirely too long.
  • Would love to see a Retirement Services section just like Benefits, HR & Payroll, and Time & Labor
  • Positive ROI - HR department is able to focus on other things rather than just payroll or the employee cycle. I can't imagine having to calculate payroll taxes and manually calculate regular, OT, etc.
  • We are able to manage our employees more efficiently and keep track of important employee documents.
  • Better data-driven decision-making based on our workforce score and seeing in real time our retention and turnover rate.
Paylocity has saved us so much time with automating HR & Payroll, Benefits, Onboarding, Learning Management Software, and Time & Labor. We don't use Paylocity for talent acquisition because we had Clear Company integrated before they launched that feature, but it's a great software to have and I don't plan on switching anytime soon.
We haven't utilized the employee satisfaction or engagement tools.

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 user-friendly, modern, and aesthetically pleasing. The software handles our HR & Payroll, Time & Labor, Benefits, Onboarding, and LMS. I looked into switching with ADP because their sales reps are awesome, but I backed out at the last minute because I hate their software in comparison to Paylocity. No software is going to be perfect, but I'm pleased with Paylocity overall and they are adding new functionality all the time.
