Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity excels as a user-friendly and cost-effective alternative to ADP Workforce Now. It integrates essential functions like payroll, benefits, learning management, and expense reporting into one platform, offering significant value for money. The inclusion of built-in training guides enhances its ease of use. Additionally, Paylocity's customer service is notably responsive and helpful, providing reliable support. Overall, Paylocity is a comprehensive and efficient solution, highly recommended for businesses seeking an integrated approach to managing their organizational operations.
  • Excellent learning management module with built in trainings.
  • Easy-to-use expense tracking module with flexibility at the expense and report level, along with an easy-to-use app.
  • Excellent customer service.
  • Cost effective.
  • Some features of the mobile app, such as expense report PDF uploading, do not always work.
  • The Time and Labor module often freezes.
  • Reduction of internal systems to manage employees, which resulted in some cost savings.
  • Expense and wage data will help us improve our decision-making during budget review.
I'm not sure that Paylocity has provided additional time for our HR staff. We only have one person however and the tools have provided us the ability to consolidate information into a single place and improve decision-making.
The Impressions module has motivated employees internally and provided a method for not only recognizing employees publicly but also giving additional tools to the manager during our annual review. Community is a nice broadcast feature for important, but non-confidential information that can be shared with employees, such as the announcement of company events or benefits.
Paylocity had more integrated features and modules at a reduced cost. It allowed us to make the switch without adding to our overall budget. It also reduced the number of systems required internally to manage people (recruiting, benefits, learning, and performance). Other tools were not as user-friendly and, after including the additional models, were more expensive.

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

Paylocity is well suited for tracking employee time clocks, integrating payroll and benefits, learning management, and expense tracking. It lacks some features for job costing. The API functionality also appears limited making it difficult to fully integrate into the Finance modules of our ERP. Finally, it is very helpful that certifications may be listed under the employee profile, but there's no way to create an expiration and reminder system when employees' certifications expire, making it difficult to manage compliance.
