Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity
Paylocity is used as our payroll and employee record system. The system is easy to use and getting information in a usable format through the reporting system is simple.
We rely on the system to be the source for any types of censuses we need to complete or third-party reporting.

Pros
- Reporting on employee data
- Entering employee deductions
- Processing payrolls
- Managing and updating time sheets
Cons
- Too many "canned" reports to choose from
- Knowing what boxes to fill in to trigger data showing up in payroll
- Having to click "see sensitive information" when I am in as an administrator and have access to everything
- Good checks and balances in payroll processing
- Flexibility with having multiple users able to be administrators
- Timeliness of account manager responding to my emails and calls
We have a labor-intensive workforce who is not adept at using Paylocity in order to take advantage of the items noted here. We are lucky to have them be able to log in and view their paystubs.

No, we do not. We can typically figure things out with little assistance.
Most recently I had two employees telling me that their child support payments were not being received by their ex-spouses. I contacted my support team and they confirmed immediately that we were sending payments in as were scheduled. That helped me out a lot and alleviated my concerns. The issue was with the state and the ex-spouse, not our company or Paylocity.
