Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Our organization uses almost all the modules in Paylocity. The notable ones that have save my Supervisors and Managers time are the Performance module and Time & Labor.
The Performance module allows for the Supervisors and Managers to keep track of their employees review schedule. The system automatically assigns the review and sends reminders to the Supervisor and Managers of the event. The reviewer will rate the employees performance and that will flow over to the Compensation module. Which then will give the review the ability to give their employee a pay increase and get approval by the next level manager. It's a very useful feature when it works correctly. There are some limitations that Paylocity is working on correcting!

Pros

  • Keeping our business up to date on enhancements!
  • The Data Insights module is my go-to for different WC reporting and OSHA reporting.
  • The Dynamic reporting is easy to use, and it's nice to manipulate reports to fit our business needs!

Cons

  • The high turnover of Account Managers is tough because they never really get to know our company!
  • Releasing enhancements without thorough testing. For example, the new Home module made all my policies and company documents unavailable to change, and I couldn't update them with the new 2026 policies and documents. This should have been a key feature that should have been tested before releasing the module to businesses.
  • I am not sure why the Account Managers don't have more abilities to fix issues! We always have to wait for the "Team" to fix it on the back end. I used Paylocity with another company 8 years ago, and I don't remember there having so many steps to get an issue fixed back then!
  • Our process of timekeeping and payroll has been streamlined, which has saved all involved time!
  • Using Insights in Time & Labor has helped Supervisors track overtime vs. what was scheduled.
  • Even though Paylocity isn't the cheapest, the time savings and reduction in errors have reduced our wage costs for HR and Payroll.
Paylocity's automation tools have reduced the amount of time Supervisors need to complete reviews and manage timecards. The system is easy to use, once set up, and it has been easy to train new Supervisors how to use it. Supervisors appreciate the reminders of missed punches and reviews that are coming due.
We do not use the employee engagement tools much! Being in manufacturing, it is a different culture than having all white collar employees.
HR has utilized the Survey tools, which we have had positive responses from. One Survey that was released asked the employees what they wanted to see for their 2026 Christmas party and we had a pretty big response. So unfortunately other than some small survey's, we haven't used the employee engagement features.
I simply love Paylocity! We have run into some issues, but no company is going to be perfect. The flow of the modules is really nice, no double entry of data. The Time & Labor flows into Payroll nicely and Benefits flows into the employees Pay Setup which goes onto the employees paycheck with little to no issues.

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

Paylocity is a well suited HRIS system for our company of 50 employees. The Time & Labor system is easy to use and tracks our employees time as it should. The time flows over to Payroll perfectly every time and allows our Payroll Admin to process paychecks without any issue.
The only module which we had removed was the LSM system, as it didn't have enough manufacturing based training that we could utilize!
