Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use Paylocity for our payroll, benefits, COBRA administration and are setting it up to use for recruiting and onboarding

Pros

  • Support is very quick and knowledgeable
  • Payroll is easy and quick to run
  • They made a custom report for us that is great!

Cons

  • Make it a little easier to set up new employees - it doesn't always set up defaults correctly
  • Would like to be able to run the YTD payroll register by employee rather than by job
  • Add in or send how-to information for first time users
  • Payroll has more features and is less expensive than some of the other payroll companies
  • The employees like the mobile interface
Good, but we are still learning how everything works.
We don't use it yet, but are working on setting it up.
Some things are difficult to find and/or correct because they are in an unexpected place. I have to use the help function quite often for this.

Yes

Would you buy Paylocity again?

It does a good job with job costing for construction, but the initial setup was a bit difficult. Apparently there are several different ways it can be set up and the coordination between the Payroll and Time and Labor modules don't always sync properly
