Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Constant changes to their reporting structure and process coupled with a service team that does not know their own product.

If you want to solve your problems, your best bet is to google the issue you’re having and provide the customer service person the article number; otherwise you will get 4 different answers from 3 different reps!

Pros

  • Dynamic reports
  • Cost effective

Cons

  • Consistency
  • Customer support
  • Knowledgeable about their own problems
  • Spending more hours fixing the same issues
  • Spending more money having to staff an extra seat just to deal with Paylocity
The workflows are really helpful as long as they don’t accidentally turn off your workflow for no reason and with no warning.
NA - we don’t use this module because it doesn’t work correctly. Currently it has a glitch where it shows the tech data for how you’re typing if you try and use it on a computer.
It’s easy to learn but hard to maintain working.
I inherited Paylocity 5 yrs ago and it was great, and it’s only gone down hill over the last 2 years.

Do you think Paylocity delivers good value for the price?

No

No

No

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Paylocity again?

No

I would recommend Paylocity to anyone that doesn’t have the bandwidth to spend copious amounts of time fixing the same problems over and over again.
