Best HCM software I've used!

This is the best HCM software that I've used compared to ADP, Sage Abra, Paychex, and PlanSource.

PROS

The ease of use is great, the software is so user friendly and easy to learn.

CONS

There are a couple of functionalities that I wish we had within the system and that the report write tool would be easier to use.

Reason for choosing Paylocity

It had all the product features and planforms we were looking for.

Reasons for switching to Paylocity

We wanted a more user friendly and update software planform.

Paylocity simplifies HR and payroll administration

Paylocity allows us to centralize our human resources and payroll data, making management more simpler. Our efficiency and precision will both increase as a result of this. The unified system not only helps us save time, but also lowers costs.

PROS

Paylocity's user-friendly interface streamlines and automates HR and payroll processes for better management. Our platform provides streamlined processes and thorough reporting tools, guaranteeing effective administration and meeting regulatory benchmarks. Because of this, Paylocity is an essential tool for any company.

CONS

Paylocity's mobile app is currently more limited in functionality than the desktop version. If the app were upgraded and expanded, the user experience would be more in line with that of the desktop version.

Reasons for switching to Paylocity

What I like most about Paylocity is their smartphone app. It provides a simple approach to performing a wide range of HR duties from anywhere. This software makes it easy to check your pay stubs and grant time off requests.

It Gets the Job Done

This would be a good option for a smaller company with a fairly simple business structure. It was fairly user friendly.

PROS

It is a fairly simple system to use. Most changes in the system are linear and step by step, walking you through the process.

CONS

Customer support was slow to respond and our assigned rep was often changing, which meant they had limited knowledge of the system. Ultimately we transitioned to another platform that offered more robust features such as scheduling.

Great Deployment Team, Ok Product

Good platform for large companies, too big of a platform for small companies

PROS

There are a ton of functions compared to what we switched over from which was just using QuickBooks Timesheets. Lots of great functions if you are a large company needing the HR management assets.

CONS

It is too much for how big our company is, while the team at Paylocity is awesome, and really helped us set up the platform... We just dont need something this high end yet, and cannot make the switch back to quickbooks because its in the middle of the tax year.
