Paylocity simplifies HR and payroll administration

4.0 last year

Comments: Paylocity allows us to centralize our human resources and payroll data, making management more simpler. Our efficiency and precision will both increase as a result of this. The unified system not only helps us save time, but also lowers costs.

Pros:

Paylocity's user-friendly interface streamlines and automates HR and payroll processes for better management. Our platform provides streamlined processes and thorough reporting tools, guaranteeing effective administration and meeting regulatory benchmarks. Because of this, Paylocity is an essential tool for any company.

Cons:

Paylocity's mobile app is currently more limited in functionality than the desktop version. If the app were upgraded and expanded, the user experience would be more in line with that of the desktop version.

Paylocity could be better.

3.0 last month New

Comments: My overall experience is for everything I like about Paylocity there is just as many things I don't like. For instance, why when I try to make a timecard correction do I get an error saying the change would affect the employees negative balance when all I'm doing is changing a clock out to a clock in or changing a clock to end lunch or changing 8 hours vacation to 4 hours vacation.

Pros:

There are many features. I like that I can see actual copies of employees checks. Very helpful with UE being able to select a specific period of time for earnings. Customer service is very good.

Cons:

Vacation balances differ between timecard area and employee and HR and payroll area. Trying to figure out keywords for pulling up a report is difficult. The reports I do pull up are often blank, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Lots of Potential, Not A Lot of Usability

3.0 3 months ago

Comments: 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.

PAYLOCITY TIME CARD

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: It is a very reliable system to keep up with employees schedules and it also gives us our paystubs. We can request our time off days as well.

Pros:

Clocking in electronically. It is mostly very reliable and punctual.

Cons:

On a very rare occasion it may not clock me in even though I went through the process and I was thinking that I did everything I know!

Paylocity Review

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Paylocity is used to help me track my payments, timeshifts, and communication. I feel that it connects my coworkers in receiving important information.

Pros:

Ease of use, organized, ability to review networking and personal information in one. I like that it is connected to a time clock allowing me to view and estimate my checks. I like the communication that I am able to view between communities and coworkers.

Cons:

Frequently having to change password. I dislike the lack of notifications/guides of when something is required. I dislike the ability to filter messages to my specific community, rather than all.

Paylocity to the moon!

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: I love paylocity! I think that it is better than ADP for sure!

Pros:

Paylocity allows me to see everything in regards to time, pay, and tax information all at easy access without having to dig throughout the entire app.

Cons:

I am not able to see my pay stub as early as I get paid. My direct deposit bank pays me 2 days in advance and so I have no paystub until everyone else gets paid in the company.

Glitchy, but great training

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: It's fair- not my favorite. I think the journals are clunky and the sign-in and out is, too. The training module part is wonderful

Pros:

The training module is great; the app is nice to have

Cons:

Glitchy- and several functions take more clicks than you expect, for example employees have to click two screens to punch in and out.

Pros:

Very easy to use and navigate to find pay stubs and tax information.

It is hard to follow the organizational chart to see which employees report to which managers.

Overall good, but room for improvement.

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: 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

5.0 8 months ago

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.

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

4.0 8 months ago

Comments: 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.

Pros:

It's easy and convenient to have all of my financial documents in one place. Any end user can accurately clock in and out, in addition to requesting time off and viewing documents.

Cons:

I have no dissatisfaction to report with Paylocity.

Paylocity Easy for Timecards

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: 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.

Well-rounded HRIS

4.0 12 months ago

Pros:

I've had many employees mention how easy the platform is to use. I, myself, enjoy the ease of set up and administration. Especially when it comes to implementing NEW modules, the team has been great.

Cons:

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

Great Self Service Portal!

5.0 6 months ago

Pros:

Paylocity is easy to use, and provides a great Self Service Portal for employees to be able to track time and attendance, time off, HR announcements, and pay - amongst other things! Everything you need is easy to find, visually clean and organized, and self-explanatory.

Cons:

There are times, when filling out the timesheet, that editing your times once entered can be finicky.
