Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We utilize Paylocity for Time & Labor and HR & Payroll mainly. In my experience, the system is not flexible and advanced for our needs, but we learned to manage it for now.
  • In my opinion, there is nothing that stands out about Paylocity
  • Time & Labor and HR & Payroll are no updating simontaniuosly
  • Time consuming running reports
You have to save each entry in Time Cards, which is very inconvenient. Processing Payroll, you need to constantly go back to to payroll tab - there should be an easier way.
We've decided to go with the third party as the system was not flexible enough for us and did not meet our needs and expectations.

No

Would you buy Paylocity again?

No

I think Paylocity is relatively easy to use if you have under 100 employees. There were numerous times where we had to manually add changes to all employees as the upload tool was not uploading correctly. Imagine imputing data for a 1000 employees. In my experience, reporting is horrible and not flexible enough. We have to run a least 2 to 3 reports to combine records into 1 - very inconvenient and time consuming. In my experience, customer service is also a struggle. You find yourself getting different responses for the same question/inquiry.
