Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

I am in the HR department and am a super admin for the company I work for. I utilize the Recruiting and the Onboarding sections in Paylocity the most in my role. Paylocity for our company addressed everything we need for HR, Payroll, and Employee Information we were looking for. In recruiting and onboarding it has helped streamline our processes and efforts finding the right candidates and bringing them onto our team and company. I also appreciate the constant updates and new innovations they roll out to help us as clients operate even better.

Pros

  • constant updates and innovations roll out every year
  • the streamline efforts of payroll and recruiting/onboarding
  • helpful knowledge-based area that can provide blogs on questions the clients have

Cons

  • ticket response timing
  • reporting migrations with other reports
  • reporting creation in payroll/reimbursement allocations
  • streamlining recruitment and onboarding processes
  • better decision-making with reporting creation
  • easy workforce and employee visibility
  • better troubleshooting issues with employees and managers
Like I have mentioned, Paylocity's automation tools have been a game-changer for our HR operations for our company. Within talent acquisition - the newest tool I have loved is the messaging tab that was added this year in Recruitment - which allows me to send direct emails to candidates and ensures that everyone involved in the hiring process is kept informed, reducing the need for additional communication. This feature aligns everyone on the status of applications automatically. This is my most prized tool.
This is one of our goals for this next year to better utilize this tool - for employee recognition and engagement we use Microsoft teams at the moment. But the additional updates and tools provided in these features could provide our company with more opportunities to engage with our employees and provide an additional space for company community
I think it is overall a very good system in all the sections. With every section I have utilized in my position in my company I have not had too many issues when wanting or needing to do what I wanted or needed to do. I think it can definitely be improved upon or features added to the sections.
Paylocity is actually my first HRIS system I have used as an employee user and administrator. So, I do not have any personal experience with any other systems in that sense, but I am glad that Paylocity was my first and only system because I have very few notes on the issues that I have come across

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

This is my first HRIS system as an admin, but I would say Paylocity is definitely well suited when wanting to have a system that is overall good in all sections. I really enjoy the recruitment and onboarding sections and think they have done a really good job in making it seamless as possible for candidates and new hires. I've not really experienced a section that Paylocity is less appropriate for.
