Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for our HRIS system to include housing all employee personnel data, recruitment, benefits, compensation, performance management, and payroll. We will be utilizing it for the learning (LMS) functions soon as well. The platform is a one-stop-shop for us and addresses mainly the elimination of manual or paper processes or even processes that were previously done by multiple platforms. I am head of HR and I like that I have one vendor to deal with and one source of truth for everything. It makes everything so much more simplified.

Pros

  • Flexibility and customization of the platform
  • Staying current on regulations
  • Timeliness of Responses
  • Providing dedicated account resources

Cons

  • Paylocity employee knowledge of their own system capabilities
  • Reduced time to onboard individuals
  • Reduced manual processes
  • Reduced manual errors
  • Increased workforce visibility
  • Increased ability to manage finances
  • Increased ability to evaluate employee satisfaction
  • Increased data points
We have been able to avoid costly lawsuits because of the automation around payroll items that Paylocity has been able to provide that other vendors did not. This has been a significant win for us.
Our employees picked up on and love using the community center and peer recognition. We have also made great use of the surveys. We use them regularly to provide valuable data regarding events, program changes, or even employee offerings that we are considering. This allows us to be nimble and truly hear our employees.
I find Paylocity to be much more user friendly than any of the other systems I have used. It is intuitive and easily customizable. I like that I can envision something new for it and easily add it myself without the help of customer service. It is simple for me to pull reports - I don't need special training on how to customize reports. Everything is straight forward and understandable. I also appreciate that customer service is extremely responsive. They have answers back to me the same business day; typically within the hour.
