Paylocity Software

Pros

Great software that handles all your payroll needs. has a functionality of generating reports as well as Making real Time adjustments. its ability to process payroll quickly is very much laudably. Am a finance analyst in my company and Trust me Paylocity has made my life much easier.

Cons

Not much to say about the negatives. i just will entreat every organization and accountant to try this fantastic Suite. i believe you will never regret it.

Pros

In our HVAC & Plumbing company, as we continued to expand and grow, we switched from TAG Payroll Services to Paylocity. The main Pro truthfully is that the cost was cheaper to manage our company. Another bonus is that the way that a paycheck is broken down and displayed is quite aesthetic--it's big, bold, colorful, and easy to read.

Cons

With the switch from Tag Payroll Services to Paylocity, the one function I do miss is the employee birthday calendar. It might sound silly, but I think it built a lot of comradery to be able to see whose birthday it was that week in the building. Minor grievance, but nothing we can't live without. Also sometimes the log in feature seems buggy--the password is inputted correctly, but the login doesn't take it.

Pros

Price is highly competitive and the software functions well. Help screens are useful and easy to get too. Payroll submission is quick and consistently accurate. support is knowledgeable but see below. Overall a good experience for small to medium companies concerned about the bottom line.

Cons

Thought you get a dedicated customer service person you are highly unlikely to ever get directly to them. You will be offered the option of leaving a message for a call back or be transferred to other support staff. So in reality you talk to a different person each time. this is offset somewhat by the generally good support. some screens are not highly intuitive but easily learn able. One small irritant for me is that if you want the paper copies of your checks to come iin sealed rather than unsealed envelopes it is ten cents a check. Talk about nickel and dimeing..

Pros

user friendly, awesome customer service and true to their word. We do not have the web time feature but love how everything else operates

Cons

web benefits seems like a different sector. there's a different account manager for inquiries and was not the best at explaining things. They also werent the best at responding right away like the web pay side.

I like this for seeing my pay and stubs and time off. Easy to access!

Pros

I like this product because I am able to see my paycheck stubs, hours left for vacation, etc. which is helpful instead of having paper, I can use my app.

Cons

I think the app was having issues my password did not work so that was a little frustrating, but it was fixed after awhile.

Pros

From a user perspective it is really easy to find the things you need (paystubbs, W2 etc) Additonally, the security is strong.

Cons

Once you get into the portal the UI is a little stale. Sometimes I wish they screen had a little more flair and style to it.

Pros

Very, very user friendly. All information for employees are all together and information can be accessed from different views. This system is absolutely amazing.

Cons

There is nothing that I don't like about Paylocity. The one thing I wish they had was a function where I could copy timecards from one person to the next but because everything else is amazing, that's just a small price to pay for perfection.

Pros

Being able to go back the past years with your company and be able to see everything on your paystubs as far as wages, 401k amounts, insurance deductibles and compare it to where you are today. Or it's nice to be able to print your own stubs when you need them instead of going to HR to get them printed.

Cons

I myself had a hard time when I was scheduled to reset my password it seemed I always had to call customer service but it was probably just me cause I don't remember anyone else having the same problem.

Pros

Paylocity is easy to use. Our employees do not seem to have any issues with clocking in/out or looking at their accounts.

Cons

The website requires that you do a second verification after logging in/out a few times. It can be a bit tedious.

Pros

Easy to use and nice platform. It's easy to to see time cards, view pay stubs and track your time. It's good for start-ups or small companies.

Cons

There is limited functionality and could have some upgrades. Definitely room for growth as far as functions.

Pros

Can provide simple solutions to complicated problems. Anyone in our company can login and track hours

Cons

Daily reporting can sometimes be a drag. Weekly and monthly reports always seem to tell a better story

Pros

Platform is user friendly, good look and feel but offers just about what every other payroll platform offers. Nothing to wow you.

Cons

Support is lacking. Issues go MONTHS without being resolved. Emails and requests go unaddressed. Some responses to questions are completely off base. Very poor customer service, lacks personal touch. High turnover on customer touch point positions. As a manager, they are extremely frustrating organization to work with, and in my experience, have little payroll knowledge but a decent payroll platform.

This tedious piece of tech has caused me a ridiculous amount of frustration just trying to accomplish a SIMPLE task that should barely be given thought during the working day. The whole point, I thought, was to make the experience seamless and help productivity. I am highly annoyed that my company chose Paylocity over the system we had previously, which I never gave a second thought, and mind you, can't recall the name of because it WAS THAT EFFICIENT. I am not the only person at my company who had had to make due with this sub par program. It needs serious work to make it actually function, and is not worth whatever my company paid for it.

Pros

I am not a fan of Paylocity at all, to be frank. I am an employee who has to use this unfortunate piece of software, and on my end...it's a hair pulling fest more often than not.

Cons

1. The fact that I have to SIGN in and then PUNCH in. If I had to do it only ONCE a day, it would be less of a bear. But I have to clock in and out four times. There is no idle clock timer or somesuch that can even be reset, so I have to slog through this redundant system four times every day. I love how going to "sign in" for my lunch break, that it has to sign me out first. ?? That's maddening.
2. How Paylocity loves to forget that I'm only on ONE device every week or two. There's nothing like trying to clock in and spending two minutes having to answer a security question while it spins its wheels. This is NOT efficient, and agravating. Other employees at my company have endured the same slovenly programmed issue.
3. It's finicky as all get out when trying to put in for time off. You can't fill in certain fields, or it will hiccup. You also can't put in for several days in a row because of the same, so of course, there's the tedious process of entering EVERY day you need separately. And, a simple mouse click and Paylocity's whim can even deny you a day off, which you then have to question your manager about, who admits it was the software. AGAIN.
4. Loading time. Again, I love going to clock in on time or early and have Paylocity play games such as taking it's sweet time to load the screen, or populate the field with my password so I can properly log in on top of everything else I have mentioned. Because I have a ludicrous amount of passwords I need to type in for my job already, the last thing I need is to have to remember ONE MORE.

The system overall has some great features and we are constantly looking for and finding ways to further utilize the system and the reports that we can use to better our business and employee experience.

Pros

This system has many of the key features we were looking for:
-payroll system
-easy to manage HRIS
-good implementation
-good response time from our contacts
-many arms of the system that we haven't put into use yet, but hope to in the future

Cons

Some of the things we we've hoped to implement with Paylocity haven't been right for our business. For instance, we felt that the ATS didn't have enough features and adaptability for our purposes and we also looked in to having performance reviews done through the system, but it wasn't compatible with the process we have in place and we weren't prepared to completely overhaul the way our company administers performance reviews.

Pros

When we were a smaller startup it was great, The features worked for us then. Would like them to get back to people as quickly as they can because we need those tickets closed

Cons

We have grown it has not grown with us so we are looking for another option. There needs to be a better place to upload and keep personal files

Pros

Daily use of the database is intuitive, and they provide training resources to help users learn the system.

Cons

First line customer service reps are typically great at answering simple questions, but can't help with complex problems. The company does have a knowledge base employed but the experts are not your first line of contact. It may take several emails with the first line person to get to someone who can really help you.

Overall, its a really good software for small companies.

Pros

VERY simple to use, Great for companies who do not have a large employee number or payroll demand. Can be used by anyone

Cons

Can not do the functions as a bigger payroll company, cant track paid time off, limited support, easy to input wrong information

Pros

Processing Multi company payroll is a breeze. Multiple Users with assigned Roles. Multi States tax capabilities.

Cons

Support line always gets a voice mail. But they are prompt to call you back or inform you via email.

Pros

It is better than keeping a spreadsheet.
It is a good tool for a small company that needs a VERY basic HR system.

Cons

Limited functionality.
Difficult to navigate.
No ad-hoc reporting.
It is hard to go from a sophisticated system to this one. Very frustrating.

Pros

Relatively easy set-up and it has a module for most things you would want to add on - time & attendance, benefits w/carrier feeds, performance management, etc...

Cons

It can take a few days to drill down with the customer service to get the answers/help that you need. My experience has been that the first response is not necessarily accurate and after you get them to ask around or check with a supervisor you get a better response with options for what you're trying to solve for.
