Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity
We use Paylocity for all of our major HR initiatives and processes. From a current process standpoint, we use it for time and labor, recruiting, onboarding, and compliance. From a new initiative standpoint, we have begun to roll out performance management, benefits administration, and compensation management through Paylocity. We have grown from 25 to 330 employees in the past five years, so we have had a much-needed increase in our capabilities for human capital management. In addition, it has allowed us to reduce the amount of manual tasks for our HR and finance departments.
- Compensation Management.
- Recruiting Module.
- Benefits Administration.
- Customer service - chat is pretty good, but our account managers are ever-changing and impossible to get ahold of.
- Time cards - need to have a weeklong view of the entire employee population - Ceridian Dayforce has nailed this piece of time and labor.
- Random things that go wrong - employees will submit a time off request, and it will request a different date than is listed in the date field. I have seen this with my own eyes.
- Cost saving - our benefits administration will streamline all payroll deductions.
- Time Saving - No longer need to perform onboarding with a stack of paperwork.
- Data consistency - again, garbage in, garbage out, but with good inputs, we get the outputs we need.
I am unable to answer this effectively as my team handles the above, and my focus is on the broader initiatives currently.
The surveys are great to have, and I really appreciate the sentiment score we get. The surveys are very customizable and fit our needs while also reducing the expense of costly external vendors to run the surveys for us. We recently did a pulse survey and had an 80% response rate, which I considered a success.
There is good and bad in both. Time and labor in Ceridian Dayforce are amazing and the easiest I have used. On the other hand, recruiting in Dayforce was challenging and Paylocity has made their module very easy to use. Performance in both is similar. Compensation management in both are similar. Paylocity should add a compensation benchmarking tool to help differentiate.
