Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Payroll, HR for onboarding, new hires, all reporting functions and time and labor. The product creates a platform that provides all three major functions in one location. The customer service with benefits has improved 100x and we are more than pleased with the updates to date and current way that Paylocity provides for compliance.

Pros

  • Open Enrollment for benefits
  • Payroll is streamlined
  • Time and Labor is easy to utilize

Cons

  • HR / Payroll customer service could have better single designated support
  • Report functionality could be better explained
  • There are not really any other features that need significant improvement
  • extremely reduced time expenditures
  • non exist tax reporting issues
  • better workforce visibility
They have positively affected our business model. Hours to days have been saved for other roles with the amount of time that we cut with the entire payroll and benefits balancing processes.
Our employees love the recognition part of the portal. It gives all employees a feeling of truly being part of a team.
It is super user friendly and also has a dedicated system that you can reach that gives insight and support for anyone needing training.
For our company size, we wanted the smaller platform but still big enough to accommodate us and Paylocity fit this role completely. It is affordable and user friendly

  • Onboarding
  • Community / Company profiling to give "kudos" to our employees
  • none that I know of
We have no plans to discontinue Paylocity, their service module has increased substantially and with a dedicated service representative for our enhanced benefits the process has gotten so much more streamlined and user friendly

Evaluating Paylocity and Competitors

Yes - we used our ERP system to generate payroll but it wasn't integrated and it did not have a lot of functionality
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Integration
We would have much more test scenarios

Paylocity Support

The benefit support is super superior. It took several years with Paylocity but we were finally able to get a dedicated benefits support manager and once we did, we are in direct contact for any issue that arises. We still sometimes struggle with the payroll and HR direct support and do not particularly care for the que where anyone available can help when your dedicated person is unable.
ProsCons
Quick Resolution
Knowledgeable team
Kept well informed
Immediate help available
Quick Initial Response
Escalation required
We did not
Yes - We reported a "ghost" in our benefits set up and we are five years into benefits enhanced and still occasionally have issues where random things will switch or revert to old data.
Joe Felice is now our dedicated benefits enhanced support manager, and from the day he came to help us, he has been the most dedicated and supportive customer service representative I have dealt with in 35 years of handling benefits. He has even been promoted twice and has taken our company with him to his new higher role so that we do not lose his support.
