Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity was the solution for our growing small business needs. The setup was easy and the staff were very helpful. Running payroll is very streamlined. With employees in several different states they helped us get everything setup for all of our tax needs.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Quick and helpful support
  • Great employee interaction

Cons

  • Difficult to manage SUI taxes in different states
  • Wish we had one contact person for support
  • Reports are helpful but sometimes difficult to find
  • Allowed us to effectively integrate employees from 1099 to payroll
  • Allows us to effectively track employee expenses
Employees are thankful to always have access to their pay history and tax information.
