All HR processes can be automated using Paylocity

One-stop payroll processing for maximum convenience. It files payroll taxes and does the math automatically. It's also a great tool for getting new hires up and running. Because of how easily it can be done now, no special training is required.

Pros

Excellent service is provided to customers. Every time I've had to contact customer support, I've been blown away with the kind of service I've received. I've never had to wait more than a minute to get an answer to a query I've had.

Cons

There isn't anything about Paylocity that bothers me. Everything is explained clearly and in terms that a newbie can grasp. Those links to assistance are a big help. Additionally, navigating the menus and links is simple. Simple and obvious in its construction.

Lots of Options and Gets Everything Done

Good product that gets intended job done. Certainly nothing aesthetically to write home about, but the features are there, although sometimes they're hard to navigate to.

Pros

Paylocity offers a lot of options for users to explore. It's nice to be able to see pay stubs, request PTO, review critical work docs, etc. all from one central hub.

Cons

The navigation could have been more clear -- some things were hard to find and not as intuitive as one would hope.

My favorite payroll provider!

My overall experience has been positive. Easy to use, all my information is in one centralized location and I can make changes or updates easily and quickly.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use and navigate and make changes when needed. As an employee who works a hybrid schedule, I love that I can punch in from the Paylocity App. I appreciate being able to review my time, make edits to punches and input my PTO easily. We switched from another provider last year and this experience is so much more intuitive and houses all of my HR information in one place making it a platform where I can access all of my information in one central location.

Cons

At this time there isn't any one thing in particular that I dislike about Paylocity.

The real guarantee for creating a stable and successful work environment

Pros

We love how Paylocity has enabled us to independently adjust the main panel as required. I loved the abundance of support channels with Paylocity, thus ensuring transparent communication with HR officials and maintaining privacy. I loved the ease of filling out leave and leave requests and approving them. I loved how the foundations for calculating taxes and filling out their forms became clear. It is wonderful that Paylocity made sending inquiries and responding to them direct, to ensure job stability and speed of completion always.

Cons

Everything is great with Paylocity, the negatives are not mentioned with the presence of this huge number of features.

Okay but not great

Wasn’t my favorite. Was not a huge improvement moving from another service and as an employee (not employee of Paylocity) it was more frustrating than anything.

Pros

I liked there was an app that I could access on my smartphone.
I liked that it was able to display what I mostly wanted to know and access on the dashboard after logging in and could hide my pay amount.
It can integrate with other services.

Cons

I don’t like the UI very much in the website and the app. I ended up not using the app all that much on my phone and used the website on my computer.
My managers had lots of trouble getting things figured out with the performance reviews and mine ended up being months late.

Highly recommend

I genuinely enjoy using the software. I submitted my time and attendance in Cancun through the mobile app because I forgot to do it before going on vacation. It's hands down a 10 in my book!

Pros

Paylocity has created numerous efficiencies regarding payroll and collaboration with our fiscal department. Communication and adjustments are made in real-time, versus playing email tag or struggling to find opportunities to meet in person or on Zoom. The vacation requests/approval feature and my ability to track my PTO are excellent!

Cons

It took us a while to get accustomed to it, as we are a small company shifting towards the usage of more technology. However, the online support and tutorials were invaluable.

after hearing complaints from others I was pleasantly surprised by this easy to use app

Overall, I am happy with the Paylocity software as a user. It has been easy to use and despite hearing complaint's from others I have found it easy to use.

Pros

Its ease of use is amazing. I learned how to use it in about a day and have been happy with the app and software on both android and apple hardware

Cons

sometimes, if there is little signal, the system gets a little wonky and I get random glitches. For example, my calendar will show me dates about 4 or 5 months ahead when I just want to check my schedule for the following week forcing me to scroll back for a few minutes.

It is so easy to use - Staff able to clock in and out on app without any issues or help

Cons

sometimes there are too many reports with similar names that to get the right on you have to go through a lot but it is easy to run reports and if employee works in multiple departments must be vigilant to get in right department. Also the app does not have an employee sign in to correct department if they are in hallway - goes to wrong department

User friendly but customer service isn't the best

Overall, Paylocity is a decent HRIS with a good payroll platform. It's easy to use from an employee perspective. Visually appealing, easy to navigate, app is great too. If they could get their customer service handled, I'd be happier.

Pros

User friendly interface, modules can be added as needed, improved "impressions" (employee recognition) pretty easy to run reports (love dynamic reporting), dashboards are easy to read. We mainly use this for payroll and onboarding. Love the fact that you can pretty much customize onboarding packets to your needs. Great for smaller companies (under 500 employees) that do not need a lot of assistance from customer service

Cons

Customer service is lacking. Sometimes takes days for a response from them. They have slightly improved over the years, but it depends on the question. A lot of times you're directed to their online knowledge base which can be outdated or not have the full information to answer your question. Or one person will direct you to another department which will push you off on another. Very frustrating!

Great experience. Used it for a short time and never had an issue with it. Everything ran smoothly. Clocking in and out was easy. Finding your pay stubs was a breeze. Great app

Pros

It is a simple app. Very easy to use and does what you need it to do. Never really had any complaints with it to be honest.

Cons

I can't really think of anything. Maybe just the fact that it is a lesser known app so it is not as widely used as others and therefore may have less attention shown towards updates and such.

Paylocity is Great and user friendly!!

Overall Paylocity is a great payroll product. I have been on both sides, used the app to see my payroll information and as well as the accounting firm side where we can log in and pull reports and check taxes. Overall, it is great, and the quarterly reports are awesome.

Pros

It is easy to use, and the mobile app is great to have for employees. Employees can clock in and out through the app as well.

Cons

I think the reporting should be named better. There are some reports with similar names, and you have to go through the whole process and download before seeing what the report looks like.

Out with the old, in with Paylocity.

While working as a manager for a local non-profit, we transitioned from the old ways of clocking in, bulletin posts, and training courses, by merging all of those things and more into the paylocity app, and it was exactly what we needed.

Pros

How intergrated everything was from clocking in, to company events, and the learning/ training courses.

Cons

Nothing it wrapped up everything we needed into one app.

Reliable and User-friendly all-around HR and Payroll Platform

We searched for a long time for a platform that integrated HR and payroll for the needs of our organization during a growth and capacity phase. And Paylocity this switch smooth and worth the time it takes to onboard a new platform. Our quarterly and annual reporting was very efficient and during the PPP experience, their customer service and transparency was a welcome need during that time.

Pros

The Time and Attendance feature was a standout—our employees never had issues with the app, which was both surprising and impressive. Customer service was another big plus, with fast response times whenever we needed support. The compliance training modules were incredibly efficient, making annual requirements and onboarding seamless. On top of that, the HR Time and Labor module was easy to use yet flexible enough for setups like multiple pay rates. The reporting tools were also a huge win—detailed, customizable, and integrated well with our budget.

Cons

The lack of integration with QuickBooks was frustrating, requiring a lot of manual entry to post payroll for a large team.

Alternatives Considered

QuickBooks Payroll, Gusto and Justworks

Reasons for Choosing Paylocity

We needed to have an overall HR and Payroll platform that didn't require manual entry that we had to do with Paychex. With our growing team we also needed a platform with training, onboarding, and compliance that Paylocity met at a price that our organization could afford.

Reasons for Switching to Paylocity

Lots of Potential, Not A Lot of Usability

Overall, Paylocity provides a good amount of payroll, time & attendance, and time off information, however, it is not always easy to navigate the website. There is a platform for all company announcements, but it forces employees to go into another program in order to view them. We have had issues setting up exports to work properly with Sage Intacct, consisting of needing two exports, one for labor cost and one for labor hours.

Pros

There is a decent amount of information in Paylocity if your organization utilizes it.

Cons

It can be difficult to navigate when you do not use the program often. Messages that are created from Paylocity and emailed to employees do not include the full message in the email, preventing employees from reading the entire message without having to open Paylocity.

The team is very supportive and friendly. Our implementation went well.

Pros

The team that supports us is friendly, responsive and helpful.

Cons

WE still have hiccups in setting up approvals for PRO/timesheets that we cant seem to overcome. There a a few wrinkles in the system that make no sense to me!

Overall good, but room for improvement.

Overall, Paylocity is one of the better HRIS systems I've worked with. Payroll is simpler while still being secure and my employees also seem to engage well with the program.

Pros

Paylocity has allowed us to customize a lot about our company site/setup. I spend most of my time in the Onboarding side of things and being able to customize the onboarding tasks is really helpful.

When it comes to the Employee's side of Paylocity, it is relatively straightforward and user-friendly. The site is easy to navigate and when needed, the support team is very friendly and usually quick to respond.

Cons

There is definitely room for improvement within Paylocity. It seems like a lot of functions, features, and even naming conventions are a bit more complicated than they need to be. In the onboarding side, setting up onboarding event packets, tasks, or templates is a TOTAL PAIN. The process is cumbersome and you can't delete certain things once they're created. The builder for customizing onboarding tasks 100% needs some help and could be a lot more user friendly if Paylocity were to copy a builder-setup like SurveyMonkey.

Payroll and HR tools made easy

Pros

Paylocity makes all of our scheduling super easy. We have the ability to track all employee documentation. The learning portion is great as well since we can include our learning tools and create tests for understanding. Having a central place for the on-boarding process also makes it easy when hiring new associates. The entire platform is very user friendly and by far one of the best I have used.

Cons

There is nothing that I can say I disliked about the platform.

Paylocity

Wouldn’t want to switch back to any of the similar systems that I’ve used in the past. Easy to operate on phone, tablet or desktop. Clocking in and out on the go is extremely convenient.

Pros

Ease of access for both desktop and hand help usage. Clocking in and out right on the app

Cons

No complaint after 4 years of use. Very secure.

Good, have experienced better

In general, it is a pretty good payroll software but I have experienced better. The pricing structure seemed unclear and inconsistent. Hidden fees and unexpected charges cropped up periodically, which added to our overall cost without prior warning or explanation. This lack of transparency in pricing made it challenging to budget effectively and caused additional financial strain on our operations.

Pros

I would say the ease of use by employees and the how straightforward the training is.

Cons

The customer support was underwhelming. When we encountered issues or needed clarification, responses were slow and often didn't fully resolve our concerns. It felt like we were left to figure out complicated problems on our own, which is not ideal when dealing with sensitive payroll and employee data.

Cons

There are some instances where it doesn’t load very quickly which can be frustrating.

Paylocity Easy for Timecards

My overall experience with Paylocity has been really positive. It’s user-friendly, making it easy to track my time cards and access pay stubs. The automation features save me a lot of time, and the reporting tools help me ensure everything is accurate.

Pros

As an employee, I find Paylocity super easy for handling time cards and checking pay stubs. Clocking in and out is quick, and I can easily review my hours to make sure everything looks right before payday. I also like how I can access my pay stubs right from the app—no more waiting or asking someone for copies. It’s straightforward and makes keeping track of my hours and pay really convenient.

Cons

There are occasional technical issues, like slow load times or glitches during peak hours, which can be frustrating when trying to access important information or lag time when clocking in and out.

It can me almost TOO many options. But, for a certain size company, I can see the additional options becoming more important.

Solid SHRM Platform, missing Customer Success Team

Pros

As a company, we love the ease of use and features the platform has. If you want to build it out, it has so much capability.

Cons

The one thing we were disappointed about with Paylocity was that during the sales pitch everything had already been structured, built out, and polished in their test version. We wish the platform was more polished out of the box, or their implementation team should have been a bit more willing to build a robust system for us.
