Pros and Cons

Pros

Return on Investment

Implementation Issues
Data Security / Vulnerability Risks

Having all functionalities within one system has been a blessing. The functionality is very robust, which can sometimes make it overwhelming to navigate through everything. We have not yet implemented many areas because we are still learning the primary functions that we need. Taking the time to implement each area to suit our needs has been a gradual process.

Paylocity Employee Engagement

We have yet to utilize these tools. As a small organization, we prefer recognition to be shared with all employees (e.g., emails when a post occurs). However, we have found that rewards and recognition only send emails to the employees receiving them, so others may not be aware of the accomplishment. We use Community Board more than rewards and recognition.

Likelihood to Recommend

As someone new to this platform, I sometimes find the vast functionality overwhelming. The knowledge base is robust, but it may take time to locate an answer. It would be nice to have a user group board to assist with quick questions instead of trying to locate an answer in the knowledge base or calling customer service. The ease of finding information can sometimes be daunting, and search functionality between windows should be the same.
i.e., the Employee payroll File search and the Employee HR File search. These two areas overlap in many ways and should have one central location.
