Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity is used in my organization to process payroll, onboard new employees, keep track of employee records, manage PTO, and deductions for certain benefits. All employees have a Paylocity profile. Paylocity addresses the business problem of having to manage a growing employee force efficiently and effectively, and all the factors that involve that process.

Pros

  • Onboarding
  • User friendly
  • Customer service

Cons

  • More customization
  • Better communication to clients
  • Make it easier to navigate checks and paystubs for admins
  • Increased onboarding speed allowing new hires to start sooner
  • Makes processing payroll more efficient
  • Automated generating W2s and 1095-C forms
Paylocity automating tax forms has had a great positive impact on our organization. In the past, we would have had to mail out W2 and 1095-C forms to employees, which is costly and inefficient especially as our team grows. With Paylocity, these tax forms are available online and can easily be accessed by employees, and they are mailed directly to those who want a physical copy.
In past organizations, I used ADP Workforce Now and Harri for onboarding, benefit administration, and employee management. Paylocity is big step up from both of those services. Paylocity has much better customer service, is more user friendly, and has more modules and products involved that make it a one stop shop compared to ADP and Harri.

Do you think Paylocity delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Paylocity's feature set?

Yes

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?

Yes

Paylocity can be used in organizations of any size, big or small. I would not recommend Paylocity if your employee base is not at least some level of being tech-savvy. Paylocity is very well-suited for onboarding new employees quickly and effectively. It may not be effective for organizations with complicated billing and payroll structures.
