Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Paylocity is our payroll manager and time clock for hourly employees. Their mobile app makes it easy for employees to clock in and out (inside our geofence). Tracking their time, vacation, sick leave, etc is super easy once you get everyone set up. The best part is how they file all the reports to the state and federal agencies. They are also always updating their features. Lastly, their support is easy to contact and always very knowledgeable to help you solve your issue on the first call.

Pros

  • Payroll entry and reporting
  • Time clock
  • Mobile app

Cons

  • Some things are hidden unless. You know how to start a search for them in employee setup
  • One off checks tend to be clunky in input
  • Our employees seem to have trouble clocking in/out at times
Paylocity has minimized the time it takes to track employee time and input into a payroll system. The hard work is done for you.
Overall its fairly easy, but sometimes the more obscure tasks are hard to figure out.
