Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity
We use it for everything. For payroll, it's our HRIS system. It's a point of truth, that's what we call it. It handles our performance review process. It handles even our employee announcements. It's our engagement tool and really solves everything, compensation, bonuses, and the whole gamut. The only thing it doesn't do is our expenses.
Pros
- Actually. I find that the product itself is just easy to navigate, so it is quite inviting for our employees, especially new ones coming into our company. It is very approachable. So I think that the layout, the way that it looks, the way you navigate it is quite friendly.
Cons
- Honestly, there's only one big negative I have found with using Paylocity and it is our customer service. It is not that I can't get it, but I have to randomly call and we've even gotten into a trick that if the person doesn't sound confident in the answer, we just hang up and try again. It's not an ideal way to deal business, but we also enjoy the product and just want to work around it.
- I think overall the reporting has been really great and so I do think that impacts us because we're able to use that data to either present our case for more employees or also it helps us with our salary planning. It's very easy to understand just how much we're spending on payroll taxes and all the different ways that we are spending money. And so I think overall it is a really useful tool when it comes to producing data.
It's great, especially when it comes to managing our time off. We have a really robust system of different time off schedules and it's able to accommodate all the different ones that we have, including mental health day and volunteer days, and it's just very, again, user-friendly, great for employees, and great for HR and the managers.
I have to say it's probably the one tool we don't use a lot. I think we as a company need to do better and use the employee engagement tool a little bit better, but it is out there. I think what we do really well is that it gives a welcome, hello. It introduces every single new person to the company and it's just a one-stop shop. Again, a place of truth for everyone to go to.
I've used in the past SAP, I've used UKG. I've used in-house products at Workday as well as Oracle, all the older types of systems.
I would say Paylocity fits our size company a little bit better. I am unsure how it would do in a multi-thousand-scale organization that I used to belong to, but I will say it is just so much easier to navigate than the old systems of SAP and Oracle.
