(1-25 of 341)Paylocity Review
- Actually. I find that the product itself is just easy to navigate, so it is quite inviting for our employees, especially new ones coming into our company. It is very approachable. So I think that the layout, the way that it looks, the way you navigate it is quite friendly.
- Honestly, there's only one big negative I have found with using Paylocity and it is our customer service. It is not that I can't get it, but I have to randomly call and we've even gotten into a trick that if the person doesn't sound confident in the answer, we just hang up and try again. It's not an ideal way to deal business, but we also enjoy the product and just want to work around it.
Paylocity Reviews
- I've used two other companies that failed miserably. But the one thing I really appreciate about Paylocity is the recruiting aspect of it and how you can streamline it. For most of my career, I was a department of one. So I was doing it all. And so the recruiting piece that it does and how you can post and you can post internal and external, it'll track the applicants. You can do automatic disqualifiers, you can do automatic notices to employees, automatic stuff to managers that you can tag in there for being a department of one for a long time. It really streamlined the process and it made it look like it was more than one person doing the work.
- One thing that, since I've been using you guys and I've let you guys know and they've said, Hey, they put it on the roadmap if they're able to get to it. One simple thing that I think a lot of people I know that are, it's not frustration, it's just a very simple thing to fix. Once an employee submits a PTO request, an email goes to the manager's like, Hey, you need to approve PTO. There's no link, there's no nothing. So a lot of my managers who don't use it as much as I do, then they're confused and they got to go log in and there's no alert, there's no notification, there's no nothing. So whether it's a link in that email that takes them right to, Hey, log in, here's your approval of PTO or whatever it is, that would be a huge, I can't tell you how many managers I've had to walk through. Okay. I know it's not there. You have to log in, you have to go here, you have to go to approved time off. So that little simple thing would help a ton, I think.
Paylocity Review
- I think the performance management side is really nice. I mean, there's a couple of updates that I would love to see, but I really like the ability to be able to document conversations with employees, doing the reviews, getting other employees feedback when you're completing a review. So I really like how that module works.
- I don't love the tax wizard in the onboarding module. I don't love that just because we have a lot of employees that struggle with hitting the right buttons. And I'm super excited to hear that they're going to add employee signatures, on journal entries, which is fantastic. Those would be the updates that I would ask for. And one of them is already coming.
I think it's really well suited because I work in healthcare and so we have a lot of providers that have medical licenses, nurse practitioner licenses, RN licenses, DEA licenses, and being able to manage them in one place and be able to do reporting on them and see when they're coming due and when they're going to expire, I think is fantastic. So I really, really am pleased about that portion.
Paylocity Review
- Payroll and expense reporting and onboarding all the way through to hiring.
- The tax wizard could be a little bit more user-friendly, as well as attendance points on the app.
Paylocity Review
- I will say making the onboarding experience easy is great. Anyone that I send out an invite to, they're doing it in maybe 30 minutes, which is wonderful. I do know the recruitment has really changed a lot of our time recruiting our paper accessibilities. It's also elevating the staff in regards to our technology core concepts or baseline.
- I really like the reporting features now that they just implemented a little bit more of the dynamic reporting. It's actually helped streamline more of our government forms and reports that our audits require.
- From an admin perspective, I do struggle a little bit with the app because I don't have full recruiting capabilities, I'm not able to quickly turn turn around candidates if I'm not in the library or I'm not near my laptop. From the phone's perspective, if I try to pull up anything in Paylocity, it definitely does not display the same way as on a laptop or a computer. Those are some of the biggest downfalls I will say I am working through.
- Staff punching in and out. Over the last couple of weeks, we seem to have a lot of problems with it, so I'm trying to troubleshoot that with the staff. I did just speak with a representative in some other troubleshooting possibilities that might help improve that overall.

Paylocity Review
- Able to enter payroll and have payroll be paid the next day
- Able to track commissions well
- Like the onboarding feature and processing of E-Verify
- Like the online features for employees and the employer
- Nice to get a person when you call into support, usually the wait is not long at all
- Love the ability to process payroll even when out of the country
- Submitting payroll with new process is not intuitive
- Wish there was an area where notes could be kept on each employee if necessary
- Front load vacation time is giving me a really hard time and can't seem to get fixed
- Wish there were templates available to do reviews and have them kept online with the employees information
- Would be nice if Paylocity did OSHA tracking
Payroll Review
- Reporting taxes
- Receiving reports
- Customer service rep availability
- PTO reporting
- Integrate well with our vendors, such as 401(k), benefits, etc.
- Overall, the application is pretty user-friendly.
- The I-9 task is very bulky and clunky. There should be pre-filled areas such as name and company information that is defaulted so you don't have to fill it in every time. And there is always boxes popping up everywhere that makes it hard to fill the form out.
- I am not sure why but sometimes I will receive notifications to my personal log-in that I have to go and look at, instead of using my administrator log-in. Having it streamlined with one log-in would be better.
- Being able to delete a profile for an employee should be easier. For example, ADP lets you delete an employee profile as long as a payroll for that employee has not been run. Here, even the help desk doesn't know why you can't delete an employee profile sometimes, their answer, "if the box is able to be checked, then you can delete them." But what makes the box able or not able to be checked? No one seems to know.
- I wish the reports feature was easier to use. I have been in HR for over 10 years and used many different systems for HR and I can hands down say that this reporting feature is THE HARDEST SYSTEM TO USE. I have been here for a year and I still don't know how to use it. I finally gave up and made my own.
- The main page on HR and Payroll should have the ability to be sorted by date of hire and more abilities like that. The sorting of employees is fixed to only the data shown and some of that data is not useful from a sorting perspective. It should be more customizable. And if it is, it should be easier to figure out.

- I like how the features on scheduling interviews
- I like how we can modify our onboarding packets
- I also like how we can make fillable forms in Paylocity
- There are a few updates I think could be beneficial such as when scheduling interview for managers. If I were to reschedule an interview it doesn’t update on their calendar.
- Sometimes with payroll, it tries paying our employees pto when they use it.

Paylocity Review
- Implementation has been going really well. The weekly touch point calls has been helpful with keeping us on track.
- Our sales rep was very thorough during our sales process with assessing our needs, answering our questions and ensured we were able to make a well informed decision.
- Most of our implementation consultants have been very knowledgeable about the system and will seeks answers if they don’t have them readily available.
- Communication regarding integration timeline is the main area for improvement. We were told integrations would happen after first payroll which is what we communicated internally. But they actually started as soon as the PADE forms were completed which caused some confusion internally.
plan would be helpful. Also being able to tie more than 2 comp plans to a statement would also be helpful.
