Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for Payroll, timekeeping, COBRA, FSA, Employee Navigator coordination.
  • Time keeping audits
  • Onboarding
  • East of submitting FSA claims
  • Tracking PTO
  • Faster implementation of PTO for next year
  • Paylocity saved us a great deal over the outside payroll service we had been using prior to switching. Additionally, we could bundle everything together with Paylocity, cut down on the errors made through the previous service, and we were able to take a lot of the payroll staff, as so much of Paylocity software is employee self service. They change their own demographics, taxes, dependents, banking, etc. All these changes take a lot off of the plate of the payroll staff.
There is no more hunting down people to find out when they went to lunch, why they didn't punch out, what happened. You receive a message of a missed punch and can address it right then with a message. Everything is automated very nicely. There are many ways to give positive feedback with the applications within Paylocity without even leaving your office to lift employees up. This has increased morale which has also proven to be solid for the company and the Paylocity software platform.
Again, it has brought the staff together more. They are able to show each other recognition. We, as managers are reminded of their birthdays and anniversaries and can send out messages about these that make people feel appreciated as if we remembered on our own!
There is no comparison at all. Paychex just has not come up with the advancements that Paylocity has.
