Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

We use it for typical onboarding, making sure our new employees go through that process, get their I-9 verifications, make sure we're staying compliant with a lot of our laws. We have three offices, Boston, LA, and Columbus. So those tend to change. Tax wise and certain things. We also use it for reporting, so pulling different reports together, doing a couple census reports for some audits.

Pros

  • The insights feature is really great. I pull that a lot because my company is growing a lot. We've had almost 50 employees in the past year, so keeping up to date with those insights, depending on what timeframe is really helpful. They do gender, race, age, they do it by a generation and pulling that information for our reports is really helpful.

Cons

  • I actually pulled a report yesterday and I was trying to change around the census dates and it wasn't really working for me, so I had to reach out and kind of troubleshoot that. So sometimes the reports are a little bit finicky, but for the most part they're pretty good.
  • I think reduction in time would be probably the most reason we use it. Some of the other systems we use, they don't always connect and communicate with one another, which can be more time consuming. So I think that's something definitely we want to improve on.
Well it definitely helps our payroll, everything like that. Pulling together data insights is really helpful so we can make sure that we are on track for all of, we're a woman-owned firm. We want to make sure that we're keeping that in the forefront, making sure we're hiring diverse communities, and minorities. So keeping track of that, making sure it connects with our initiatives moving forward is really helpful.
So we actually don't use the employee tools. For surveys we use SurveyMonkey. We actually have something called an intranet. So we have an internal website where we post more of that community questions and things like that.
I would say pretty good. I know that we previously used Paycor, but I don't believe we really enjoyed it, which is why we switched to Paylocity.

Yes

Did implementation of Paylocity go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Paylocity again?

Yes

I think it's pretty good right now for us as we're approaching. We just reached a hundred employees. I think for bigger companies, I'm not sure. Sometimes the insights are a little wonky. Sometimes people don't fill out their information correctly or they just leave it blank. So it is helpful for me because I know all of our current employees, so I can kind of backfill that information just by my personal knowledge. But if you were to have a thousand, two thousand, employees where you don't know everyone, it might be difficult to pull some insights there.
