The ability to set goals is Paylocity's strongest suit. It helps the user stay focused and accountable while also providing insight into the priorities of employees and how those priorities relate to the overall goals of the business.

Pros

I like how user-friendly the system is and how readily available the data about employees is for study. Another positive is that it may be customized to become your company's complete human resources and payroll solution.

Cons

Customer service has been frustrating and useless in the past, but we've now built constructive partnerships and are seeing better results as a result. The reporting is similarly mediocre but serves its purpose.

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.

So far, so good! I’ve only used it the last 6 months for pay stubs (I don’t clock in or out on it) and to request time off, and overall it does what it needs to do. It’s not that hard to navigate, and runs smoothly; haven’t had any issues with the actual user interface or accessing anything!

Pros

* Easy to view pay stubs
* Like how it breaks said stubs down
* Face ID access to paystubs versus having to type in a password

Cons

* Not super intuitive to navigate to the time off request tab (it’s a tag at the top, not a formal tab at the bottom)

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.

Solid SHRM Platform, missing Customer Success Team

Reviewed on 26/8/2024

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.

We did not have a good experience with Paylocity. While the customer service was good, the product is not good for international employers. Reporting was never right, because the data they put in from implementation was entered incorrectly and we could never get it fixed after that.

Pros

Paylocity was very user friendly and pretty much plug and play after implementation.

Cons

Paylocity is not a good tool if you have people in multiple countries, because each company is set up like a different company and they don't necessairly talk to one another.

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.

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.

I use Paylocity daily to clock in and out for the day and for breaks, monitor and request PTO as needed, and view biweekly paychecks.

Pros

Paylocity eliminated a need for a physical time clock. At my previous job, a line would form while employees were waiting to clock in/out and check their hours at a physical terminal, delaying the process for everyone. I am now able to clock in/out, monitor my PTO balance, and request time off on my app or from my work computer.

Cons

Haven't had any issues thus far. Even if I miss a punch by mistake, it is easy to correct within the app.

Great app, very good for time and pay management. Offers lots of perks that would benefit any organization that needs to manage its' employees.

Pros

Paylocity is so easy to use. Our company uses it to manage our punches, time off, and overtime. The app is the absolute best and makes for quick punches as needed during our shifts. I also like how easy it is to make changes to incorrect punches.

Cons

Sometimes the app glitches, and it has to be refreshed in order to work. The website lags just a little bit as well.

Employee Self-Service Payroll

Reviewed on 25/4/2024

Pros

What could be more convenient for employees to have a software that is "Self-Service Payroll". Monitor your own paycheck, download W2 and tax forms during tax season, look for your timesheet, request time-off. I like the peer management where they greet employees' birthday or years of service for the company. I also like that you can use it in Mobile App.

Cons

I least like the always request of changing password. I know it's for security purposes.
