Great for Remote Worker
I love Paylocity. My only con isn't an everyday issue that many users will encounter. It was mainly my bad luck. I would highly recommend this product for those that work remotely. I love that I don't have to get to a computer to clock in and out. The app is super easy to use, a child can figure it out in a jiffy.
Pros
clock in / clock out from ANYWHERE
Keep track of your hours with a simple click
missed punch? No problem. you can fix it yourself (if your HR didn't lock you out of it that is)
Impressions section: Your company can give you praises and make it public.
Cons
There was a time that my bank account got compromised so my direct deposit info needed to be changed. It took my HR department a long time to get my info updated and for my pay check to be sent. I work remotely so Paylocity sent my paycheck to my company's office then my company sent the pay check to me through snail mail... with bad luck usps lost the letter.... getting my paycheck processed again took an entire pay period to receive my paycheck.

Decent HRIS system with cool features
Pretty positive experience aside from the constant page time-outs or error outs.
Pros
I really liked the community page where you could post updates and photos. Employees could then post comments responding to the original post and interact with the post.
Cons
It often times would time-out or error out while you were using it, so you would have to reload the page or log out and back in fairly frequently.

Paylocity Payroll
Ultimately it’s the ease of the app that sells this program for me. There are even more features to access in computer mode, but the app has enough daily features for frequent daily use.
Pros
I love the ease of tracking my time sheets both online & on the app. I can also easily check on my accrued time off and make requests. I also enjoy the community aspect
Cons
Acquiring my W-2 took a few more steps than I really appreciated

Hard to use
It took time to get used to, but once you’re used to all the weird quirks, it’s not too bad.
Pros
Viewing billing is easy. One time I got a zero check and it was easy to find the problem. The company quickly fixed it.
Cons
Time tracking. There are a lot of codes and you have to match them a certain way or your time was invalid. You also have to remember to click the tiny save button after entering time, or it’ll delete everything you did.

Gets me in on time
My experience has been good as a user, and as a member of the IT department we have not had any calls from staff with issues. That is not to say Accounting hasn't, but in the past we got a large share of calls from people who immediately assume if there's a problem and its on there computer it was IT...
Pros
So far i have had no payroll errors in my deposits. I like the app and being able to clock in as soon as i am in the building.
Cons
As an end user there are so many tabs and areas that really are unneeded by me, as i dont configure it for end users it could be that some of these could be hidden and only what is necessary shown.
