Overall Satisfaction with Paylocity

I've used Paylocity since 2008, first introduced to the platform with a prior employer and ultimately transitioned to the platform from another vendor at my current organization. It's very easy to use, well received by employees, and allows enough customization to meet the demands of a govcon provider. It's surprisingly customizable, from simple, to complex situations.

Pros

  • HR and Payroll
  • Workflows and Documentation
  • Performance Reviews

Cons

  • Timesheets, allowing the clockin/clock out to completely be removed and only allow hours to be inputted for salary exempt.
  • Job codes, allowing cascading (tiering) charge codes on timesheets vs a completely flat structure/view.
  • Allowing clients access to a non-production/test environment that is duplicate of their current HRIS system. It's never a good practice to "test in production", many changes would prefer to be tested outside of our live system to confirm it works as intended before implementing in full.
  • Lack in ability to map to GL, requires a team at Paylocity to support and can take multiple days and up to or even over a week to resolve, when I can call my account manager and if I'm able to reach them, they can resolve in 5 minutes
  • Inability to spider search keywords in resumes. ATS will not import a resume, it's an attachment and applicants most copy/paste data (which they don't). Would be nice to search 1000+ applicants for "PMP" as a certification and see results, or even combined filters to search through a resume database
We don't utilize automation to the point where I can provide context to this question.
We have used the surveys, as anonymous response, however, employees continue to feel as if its not anonymous and hesitate to respond, especially since you must logon into the tool to access the survey, it does add considerable doubt. Maybe the anonymous surveys would be a generic link, not requiring a logon?

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

Paylocity is very well suited for any general HRIS system needs. However, for growing govcon companies, there will be limitations in timesheets and projects that will make it very difficult to be DCAA compliant and when you reach that point in growth, you may extract and do timesheets outside of the Paylocity system into a more sophisticated solution and having an import of the payroll file back into Paylocity as the HRIS solution.
