Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We are a non-profit of ~150 employees and use Paylocity for both HR and Finance departments. It helps us account for employees' work time, salaries, deductions, taxes an PTO

Pros

  • PTO calculations
  • Tax calculations
  • Time Sheet Accounting
  • HR records

Cons

  • PTO calculations are sometimes confusing, especially in the PTO History section
  • Retirement plans are calculated incorrectly each pay period
  • Time card reports show approvals differently in different reports - sometimes the same time card was approved by several supervisors in one report, by the most recent of them in another report and by the employee themself in the third
  • reduced time expenditures
  • reduced errors
  • more consistent processes
  • better workforce visibility
  • data-driven decision-making
Positively. The productivity rate increased but there are still some minor things that should be addressed - as mentioned above, they relate to supervisor approvals of time sheets, very frequent incorrect PTO history calculations as well as absolutely incorrect retirement plan calculations (401-a in this case), so it's very good but could be better
It's 8. Overall, it's very good but, as mentioned above, some issues are still improper. The PTO history table is not only incorrect in many cases but also not intuitive (maybe because it's incorrect) since it's not that easy to understand numbers from what columns have been added or subtracted to what balances
I don't have experience with any similar products
