Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity is used for payroll, HRIS, surveys, performance reviews, and recruiting. Paylocity feeds into our benefits software to transfer employee information and statuses.

Pros

  • Payroll is user friendly
  • Managing employee data is user friendly
  • Surveys are easy to track and view
  • Account managers are always helpful and responsive

Cons

  • PTO accruals are confusing
  • I would like to be able to set up performance reviews differently
  • Payroll is difficult
  • Switching between HR and workflows everytime i make a change to employees is time consuming
  • time off requests dont make any sense
Paylocity was already in my organization when I came here. I don't like not having the ability to change things how I need. I emailed service to ask about setting up a new workflow, and they just sent me confusing articles instead of assisting me in creating the new workflow. I have never seen a rep come to my facility, and the reps I do speak to just try to sell me stuff.

Do you think Paylocity delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Paylocity's feature set?

No

Did Paylocity live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Paylocity again?

No

I like HR & Payroll in Paylocity because it is user friendly and easy to adjust baseed on company needs. Recruiting needs some advancements, however, this system was already set up when I came to my place of work, so it may just need some tweaks based on my personal needs and previous recruitment styles.
