Reviews
(1-25 of 897)Great HRIS Software!
- Payroll is very user friendly
- Switching between modules is easy
- The recruiting module is great
- I would like to be able to create expense reports in administrator mode
- I also wish I could easily map my own expense codes for the exporting into our accounting system.
- Implementation team should also be more hands on, not just a guide to read
Benefits, Payroll, Recruiting, Garnishments, Time and Labor and HSA
- Paylocity has the BEST Customer Service I have ever experienced, bar none
- Paylocity is always making updates and improvements
- Paylocity is User Friendly. The app is a wealth of information
- Texting access via Community
- Accessing your HSA account is an extensive process. I understand security, but at times it can be a bit ridiculous
- You have to push for a pin to change an employees address, but not to look or change a social security number? Seems odd, but please don't give me one more pin to access that too. I have more pin notices on my phone from Paylocity then I do messages from family and friends.
- Running and finding a report I need can be difficult. I normally have to request access from Service who gives me a peak article to read. I looked there first before calling
Example: Changing an employee to a Supervisor takes way too many steps. I have to go into SEVERAL tabs in order to make this change. (User Accounts, Time and Labor, HR and Payroll its a back and forth process)
Paylocity is Cool!
- Employee Record Management
- Timekeeping Settings
- Reports on Employee Demographics
- Exception Reports for Payroll
- Reports - Could be more customize-able
- Editing benefit codes - cannot remove any codes previously used creating lots of back-work
- Member services - creating less work tickets
- EDI file transfers
Nonprofit Manager
- Being Able to be specific with Overtime i.e. Holiday overtime & training overtime
- Clocking in & out with ease
- Good customizable training modules
- Add punches isn't intuitive
An easy HRIS system that works
- Onboarding

Paylocity has helped us manage our business better

Paylocity's Performance
- Payroll Processing
- Reporting
- Onboarding
- Recruiting
- Flexible Spending Account and Health Reimbursement account administration. Pulls from the wrong account occasionally, allows use of HRA funds for spouses who are not on the plans.
- Tax reporting - we have received several late notices and fees that needed to be rectified.
- Multiple Worksite report is inaccurate
Tax filings could use improvements as well as the functionality of benefit enrollments, and FSA, HRA account administration.
Payroll processing with Paylocity
- Reporting
- Payroll processing
- Taxing set-up verification, in particular local taxing requirements
Affordable
- The GL interface it is good
- The self service portal
- The report writing
- Accrued vacation days should be easier to find when looking at employee record
- easier to find things- not new user friendly...you have to be in certain modules to find what you are looking for
- should be more canned reports (census reports, 5500 reports etc.)
Paylocity Works For Us
- Payroll processing
- HR Management
- Customer Service is second to none
- Prompt answers and adjustments
- Report Writer can sometimes be a challenge
Controller Paylocity Review
- Payroll
- Employee data source
- Taxes
- Customer Service is number one
- Availability
- Customer attention
- Journal entry import to Quickbooks
- Help resources are very complex and hard to find answers to problems
Paylocity has the potential for journal entry into QuickBooks, but I have not yet taken advantage of this feature as I heard from a friend that it was not useful.
Paylocity does not completely remove the need for a bookkeeper or accountant.
Paylocity, 4/5 Stars
- Employee tracking
- Payroll
- Onboarding
- Recruiting
- PTO Tracking
- More reporting options
- Updated employee search section

Paylocity thoughts
- Time and Labor
- Journals on the Performance module
- Policy acknowledgement
- Payroll
- Community
- Mobile App
- LMS does not cover required Safety Trainings for California
- Performance evaluation once complete do not flow to the employee file they appear to be on another platform
- Checklists for new hires cannot be assigned to other departments, for instance send a notification to IT for set up

Great tool - Amazing customer Service
- Payroll
- Customer service
- Onboarding
- Recruiting
- Help articles are all over the place
- Too many steps to set thing up
- Get different answer depending on agent
- Some features are too manual
- Resolution is superficial- result in more error
- System glitch in payroll resulting in pay error
Bad- The update of the time off policy took several weeks on the back end. It was not set up properly, resulting in employee duplicate pay of benefits.
Good- Reload all my Time off balance - agent took it upon herself to do it manually for me.
Paylocity Review
- Able to enter payroll and have payroll be paid the next day
- Able to track commissions well
- Like the onboarding feature and processing of E-Verify
- Like the online features for employees and the employer
- Nice to get a person when you call into support, usually the wait is not long at all
- Love the ability to process payroll even when out of the country
- Submitting payroll with new process is not intuitive
- Wish there was an area where notes could be kept on each employee if necessary
- Front load vacation time is giving me a really hard time and can't seem to get fixed
- Wish there were templates available to do reviews and have them kept online with the employees information
- Would be nice if Paylocity did OSHA tracking
Great Program for Automating HR.
- Recruiting process.
- Payroll process.
- Reviews
- When a candidate is autorejected, they "disappear" to the rejected section, but you don't notify them to send a rejection email. It would be nice if I could have a default autorejection sent.
- Would be nice to have a tutorial for new hires ready to go.
- The networking page where groups can post could be stronger.
