Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

What I love best about Paylocity is the ease of the platform plus the customer service. Someone is always there to assist when I have an issue.

Pros

  • Onboarding platform makes paperwork a breeze
  • Payroll setup allows you to utilize the fields you use most
  • Customer service always responds in a timely manner

Cons

  • Spending account section is hard to navigate as an administrator
  • Time and Labor can be a bit confusing and hard to create special features
  • Holidays in time and labor could be easier to input year over year
  • Performance management has been something I've never utilized because it isn't as customizable as I'd like
  • consistent processes
  • reduced time on repeating tasks
Paylocity allows me to process payroll with such ease that it doesn't take me as long as it used to. I love that it brings over partial pay for new/departing employees so I won't forget. I like that I can utilize their onboarding without having to think what paperwork I need to have a new employee complete and it's really easy to update the onboarding packet when something does change.
We've utilized surveys in the past and I like that we can track what employees are saying and that I can save a template and reuse that survey to compare results year over year.
I think that the site is made so that it's easy to navigate without knowing much about the system.

I've recommended Paylocity to a lot of peers in the HR industry because I find it to be easy to navigate for everyone. I've utilized 2 other payroll providers and I can say that the platform as well as the customer service is amazing. I've utilized Paylocity in a company of 20 employees and in a company with 80 employees and it works well for those sizes.
