About Paylocity
All-in-one, modern HR and payroll solutions that make real-time smart recommendations to help you drive better business outcomes.
I liked the integration with my tax software. I only exported my payroll information, reviewed it, and that's it.
The dashboard is TOO confusing for some people-this is NOT technologically inept friendly at all.

Paylocity simplifies HR and payroll administration
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.
Everything works great
Comments: I use it for multiple things and it works great for all
Pros:
I like how there are so many features that are available through Paylocity
Cons:
There honesty isn’t anything I do not like about it
Paylocity could be better.
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.
Overall good, but room for improvement.
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.
Easy to navigate
Comments: Overall, the software is convenient and easy to read. Information is displayed in an organized manner and there is minimal confusion. There are some issues with loading sometimes but it’s usually resolved quickly. It’s useful for payroll, especially for a company with a large number of employees.
Pros:
It’s pretty straightforward and easy to navigate. Everything is organized and simple to read which is helpful for those that are not particularly tech-savvy.
Cons:
There are some instances where it doesn’t load very quickly which can be frustrating.

Paylocity is a monstrosity
Comments: I have had just a blah experience with paylocity I will never ever want to use it again especially if I ever run a business on my own I have to say it's very mediocre and the dashboard is just not up with the times your standards that I have in my book. There's also just a vague paycheck stub that you get with just the taxes and the breakdown in that fact but it doesn't allow you to go in and search for discrepancies and clocking in and clocking out
Pros:
I liked the means of being able to change my direct deposit information in real time
Cons:
I hate the fact that this program doesn't offer a detailed breakdown of clocking in and out.
Better than the others
Comments: Have been using Paylocity for over 10 years and I have never encountered any issues.
Pros:
Easy to work with. Very user friendly. Customer service is great, you will always get the help you need and quickly.
Cons:
The only thing I personally do not like is that every 6 months I have to change my password.

PAYLOCITY TIME CARD

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

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
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 Rocks

Time in time out

I like being able to see my hours whenever I want. I can punch in and out on my phone. I can see if I am missing any punches.
Cons:
Occasionally I have had an issues with clocking in and out.
Paylocity
Comments: 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.
Just... Don't.
Comments: Horrible. Paylocity makes my job more difficult every day. As an HR employee, Paylocity is the root cause of every problem in our department. If I had the option and Paylocity were free, I would still pay to use something else.
Pros:
The visual appearance. For the most part, things LOOK professional.
Cons:
Everything else. Every part of the system is built to look like it works, but it all stops there. It's like a carboard cutout. Yeah, it looks like a person, but from every other perspective, there's NOTHING there.
Great and Straight Forward
Comments: 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.
Well-rounded HRIS
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.

Paylocity is great and flawless. I have zero flaws.
Paylocity is Worth It
Comments: My overall experience with Paylocity has been positive.
Pros:
I like that I can see everything from my paychecks to staff birthdays.
Cons:
I don't like how the app interface can be tricky sometimes and hard to understand. I also have had some trouble accessing paychecks in the past when I have multiple accounts connected.

Paylocity is Great at Connecting Employees With One Another.
Comments: I believe this app is an excellent tool for onboarding! It has a robust system with numerous extra features for new hires to utilize. Setting up direct deposit and tracking my hours worked was very easy.
Pros:
The onboarding process was seamless and user-friendly. It offers many great tools for new hires, such as access to information about company benefits, time-off requests, various company policies, and proper procedures. I was also pleased that I could see the profiles of everyone on my team, along with their "about me" sections and list of interests. This provided some fun talking points when we finally met in person.
Cons:
I can't think of any serious complaints or concerns that I found when using this app.
