All the features we need and good customer support

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

No manual entries, meaning, I can run weekly payroll remotely. Posting openings, recruiting and onboarding new employees is seamless. Great support team that is available and responsive; I can reach out to MY TEAM rather than a rep that happens to pick up my call. Knowledge base easy to follow and great training tool. Reporting capabilities.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I can process and submit payroll weekly from ANYWHERE. There is no longer any dependency of manual tracking on paper (i.e. PTO requests, physical timecards, etc.).

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not sure there are aspects of the software we dislike. Occasionally, the turnaround time of responses between Paylocity internal departments (i.e. customer support and tax team) seem to take longer than expected.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make a list of all your must-haves in a system as well as a wish list. In our research timeline, Paylocity checked almost all the boxes. Two and a half years later, we are very satisfied with the decision that was made.

Pros

Enables Productivity
Caring

10 /10

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

The ease of use in the system is hands down above other systems. I have complete control over report writing and workforce planning. They are always innovating!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I LIVE in this system. All our employee records are managed and housed in Paylocity. Payroll processing is simple and quick.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes the service reps don't take the time to problem solve outside the box solutions. They often just refer to PEAK articles that are either not helpful or outdated.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you don't have a good service rep, request another one. We went through a couple different reps before I found one that really understands how I operate and how our business works.

Helps Innovate
