Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity as our HRIS platform. The system has an easy integration process with other platforms such as in our situation when it came to sharing information on employee benefits. The support team were able to understand what was needed and follow up accordingly.
  • LMS systems
  • HR & Payroll
  • Walkthrough Guides
  • Benefits essentials did not fully capture enrollments of employees causing some reporting errors. It has room for improvement.
  • Helping new start-up companies with compliance issues and taxes.
  • Having a single point of contact versus just a call-in number.
  • We have not reached that level to determine ROI as of yet.
It more streamline allowing HR to focus on core objectives such as performance planning/succession planning and LMS, etc. The automation tools are a plus and has made the process easier to maintain.
The community chat, impressions, surveys, etc. are great features to have as it allows for more system utilization and ease of use for employees. It also creates a synergy amongst peers when recognition is given. We are still working on getting out a survey and how to share this information in the near future.
ADP did not have the ease of use when it came to submittal of travel and expenses and tracking. Paylocity has been a game changer for me in this process allowing employees to enter the information and uploading the necessary paperwork, thus less room for errors. Employees are notified it there is an error or when an expense is approve/denied.

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

Novatime (discontinued), New World ERP, Paycom, ADP Enterprise HR
It's well suited for small-business owners who have to run payroll for salaried employees but can become a bit complicated when the employers start hiring hourly workers and there is the integration of timekeeping systems and the many features involved in that process can become overwhelming to new start-up companies.
