Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I think ease of use. The app itself is really nice. Community is like an internal Facebook page so our employees can stay connected. It's definitely one of the highlights of the product, its community. We use it for payroll surveys and community timecards.

Pros and Cons

Pros

I think payroll processing is very easy, straightforward. Updating employee information is not difficult. The self-service portal is pretty user-friendly, so we're working with a variety of employees and most can use the app. No problem.

Cons

I think a lot of HRIS, it comes back to timeliness of responses. So sometimes when you email service at Paylocity or maybe sometimes you feel like you want a direct contact, even though I understand it has to go to a general inbox.

Return on Investment

I think data-driven decision making. I love the data insights. That's something that we use very often and actually our finance team utilizes that too. And I just think timeliness of payroll processing, things like that.

Paylocity Automated Processes

I think for myself, I was a team of one for a long time, so I just kind of did it all. But becoming a team of two, it allowed me to be able to train someone pretty easily on payroll and different processes that we have in place without it being painful. It was easy.

Paylocity Employee Engagement

I'll go back to community. Being able to do impressions, that's huge to keep people engaged. It's another way to thank people without having to have a monetary value associated with it. You're just peer to peer versus having to say, okay, you're doing a gift card or writing a thank you card. It's a way to do it more virtually across the company.

Alternatives Considered

Paycom

I believe we used Paycom, but I was not with the company when they used something other than Paylocity. My prior employer used ADP and I like Paylocity better. Think it's just the ease of use, the app itself. This was back in 2019, but I don't remember using an app with ADP. So that's definitely what set Paylocity apart from the get go.

Key Insights

Do you think Paylocity delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Paylocity's feature set?

Yes

Did Paylocity live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

Likelihood to Recommend

I'm going to go back to community employee communication. That's definitely where I see the most benefit. Outside of that, I would say we no longer use the benefits portion of it. We used to, but we're now owned by a parent company and they're responsible for our benefits administration. So we've kind of switched gears from using that platform to something outside of Paylocity.
