Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity is used t my organization for our everyday HRIS functions (payroll, leave management, LMS, onboarding). Some of the business problems Paylocity addresses are Payroll related, reporting as needed and integration with our other software platforms.

Pros

  • Payroll
  • Employee experience (friendly user)
  • Onboarding

Cons

  • Reporting
  • reduced time expenditures
  • Reporting could improve
  • On boarding module has reduced hiring times
Unfortunately, we have not taken advantage of these how we would like. I don't think we are aware of the different ways we can automate processes. I also believe that our rep could do a better job at engaging us in all he different tools we could be taking advantage of.
This is another module that it is currently not being utilize to its potential. Our employees do not engage as much in this module and they rather engage and provide feedback using outside tools not provided by Paylocity.
I think Paylocity's strength is the HR and Payroll module. I give it this rating because 60% of my usage is in this module. I would like to explore the rest of the features and implement them to our employees.

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

I think Paylocity is a great product for small to mid size organizations. The platform itself is friendly user compared to other HRIS. Their customer service is great, but at times it feels like some of the reps are thrown into situations/questions out of their expertise and cannot provide the best resolution to an issue,
