Paylocity Review.

Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity as a full-solution HRIS. We use it for Payroll, Compensation, Performance, and Talent Solutions. We have several subsidiaries that handle all that. I wish it were a little easier for International, but for our Domestic operations, it's fantastic.

Pros

  • It is very intuitive, so easy to find your way around or figure things out.
  • It offers a lot of great self help resources and tools. Easy to find answers to questions.
  • The reporting functionality is very robust.

Cons

  • When assigning merit, it is infuriating that you have to do it by position and can't just select the names you want in the merit module.
  • In the compensation module, after launching a plan, you can't edit the people in the plan. It's like the ONE uneditable field.
  • In the compensation module... for market pay, you can't export salary data to Excel. Seriously.
  • Definitely cheaper than ADP.
  • Better applicant tracking and duplicity.
The time and labor function is great - we have automated a lot with time tracking. And the self-service option for employees is great too.
We do not use these tools.
It's pretty intuitive and easy to use.

Yes

Are you happy with Paylocity's feature set?

Yes

Did Paylocity live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

No

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

It is great if you have a medium-sized organization that is mostly domestic. It is not well-suited for international payments. It is great if you don't have complicated sales commission plans, as there is nowhere to store that info or run reports on variable comp... only base comp.
