Paylocity for small or large businesses

5.0 last month New

Pros:

The time tracker along with HR payroll everything's there within one app very easy to navigate easy to make changes to any direct deposit information already added.

Cons:

Sometimes the navigation on the time tractor is not updating fast.

Paylocity has been a great tool for our company!

4.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Our overall experience has been very positive. The implementation process went smoothly and felt like we had a good team at Paylocity helping us get started with the product. The system was able to meet our pretty sophisticated needs and has been a very good investment if you are looking to move into a more user-friendly product.

Pros:

Some of the best parts of this product is how everything is connected and works well together. There is no disjointed feeling as you move from one part of the software to the next. This makes life as an HR professional, payroll preparer, or general accountant a lot easier. We appreciate being able to place all of our HR processes and especially onboarding into Paylocity and eliminate a lot of busy work behind the scenes.

Cons:

We wish the workflow software was a little bit further along but we have been told it is a priority in development right now so that is good to hear.

Poor Implementation, Poor Customer Service, Buggy Product

1.0 last month New

Comments: Our overall experience was not good and I definitely would not recommend this product for large companies or international companies. We switched to Ceridian, after having Paylocity for a little over a year and the entire time we had Paylocity we had a lot of troubles with functionality.

Pros:

The software is very easy to use and the user interface is nice.

Cons:

The botched implementation made reporting very difficult and inaccurate because our data was never corrected.They lost our data, after promising in the contract that we would always have access and we had to threaten legal action to get it back. They say it can be used internationally, but in reality each country is set up as a different company and it is not always possible to work in the system across countries.We had very poor customer service

All in One HR Software

5.0 3 months ago

Pros:

Paylocity makes it easy for us to manage everything from onboarding, timekeeping, PTO, and payroll. We had two separate systems for timecards and payroll and no system for onboarding before and Paylocity has helped us go almost completely paperless. Timekeeping is easy and the mobile app is excellent for the employees.

Cons:

Since the product is modular (pick and choose which modules you would like), some processes require a little hopping between applications but everything works very well together.

Gets me in on time

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: 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.
