Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for our HR/Payroll system. They have been wonderful from implementation to use. Their customer service is great, in that we have a dedicated team that works with our company who is familiar with how we process things and can address any issues or needs that we have. They are very quick to respond to any emails or questions that we have as well.

Pros

  • Payroll
  • Garnishments
  • Tax Reporting
  • Customer Service

Cons

  • Personally making changes as an admin
  • Reduce Errors in processing by alerting to possible errors
  • Automation that helps reduce rework
I process the payrolls and the ease of processing has reduced the time it takes for me to do that. The HR function is run out of another office, but they chose not to implement the talent acquisition and onboarding piece at this time.
This is the first payroll company we have used that has had the mobile feature, which our employees have had great success with. They are also able to leave peer to peer recognition which I think they have also enjoyed.
There was training provided, which was just like what we would be doing and the system is very easy to use.
Paylocity is 100 times better than both the mentioned companies. Their customer service wonderful to deal providing us with an reply back in a timely fashion, instead of waiting weeks to hear back about something. Paylocity also listened to our needs, and did not try to fit us into their model.

Yes

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

We are a mid-sized company with 1500 - 2000 employees across several companies. Paylocity has set up our system, so we can view all companies or only as a single company if access is to be granted that way. They have been flexible in how we need to process our payrolls, making us be able to enter time several different way. We do not use the HR system for some of the options they offer, so I can't speak to how they work.
