Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity to process Payroll and manage our Benefits and also Onboarding of new employees. Paylocity makes these processes work smoothly and seamless.
  • Payroll processing for Salaried and Hourly employees is a straightforward and easy process. Makes processing the payroll less stressful.
  • Time punching is flexible and easy for employees - they can use their phones and also their computers to punch. This works well with employees who work both in an office or at an offsite location.
  • Benefits were previously process by paper forms and the addition of being able to do it online within Paylocity has made this process easier for both the employees and the administration of benefits. Employees can always see what their benefit costs are what choices they are enrolled.
  • Onboarding allows us to send forms to new employees for them to complete on their own prior to starting and gets them set up in the payroll system for the first day start. It makes the process of following up easier and faster and allows us to make sure the forms are clearly filled out.
  • Payroll processing has changed - I still like to look at the details when reviewing just to make sure everything is correct. The new way only shows a portion of the paycheck calculation, so I have been going back into Pay Entry to review some of the staff that have exceptions.
  • In correcting punches - it's good that you are not able to overwrite an existing punch but sometimes that is what you need to do to make a correction, so currently you need to delete the bad punch before correcting the punch. Just sometimes slows the process down or maybe allow to revise a punch but that would probably violate an audit feature.
  • When signing in to look up sensitive information, like Social Security numbers and W-4 tax withholding, it will have me sign in not once but twice to see the information - not sure why I need to sign in twice in a row to prove I have access.
  • Onboarding has made our process more seamless and smoother. It provides a professional means of communication with new employees and presents our organization well. Forms are not missed and can be sent back for revision or completion.
  • Benefits has streamlined our process and reduced frustration and ambiguity with employees when they sign up for benefits. This has reduced our organizational time spent processing manual forms, entering elections manually into payroll and the eliminated errors that occasionally happen. One of our best decisions is based on ease of use and staff acceptance and appreciation for the process.
  • Staff like having the access to their payroll information at their fingertips (literally - cell phones). This makes it easier for them to make changes to deposit accounts, see information when applying for loans and getting tax reporting when they need it.
The Benefits and Onboarding process have been major time saver for our organization. We have just started to use the Performance module and we expect to achieve similar results.
We have not employed the Community and Peer recognition in our Paylocity much. Our organization tends to do Peer surveys in a meeting format to discuss issues that our staff encounter and how best to resolve them. Not sure - maybe in the future this may be used but not at this time.
We looked at this product - it did not seem to fit our needs nearly as well as Paylocity. We feel we made the right decision.

Are you happy with Paylocity's feature set?

Yes

Did Paylocity live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

For our company - we have staff that work at remote locations and the punching allows for them to use their phones when they do not have access to a computer to punch in/out. This works well for us. I am not sure where it would not be suited well - it seems to be a flexible platform that can cover a number of different business operations well.
