Pros

“The goal-tracking process requires a significant amount of manual data entry and multiple clicks to generate progress updates, which can be time-consuming.”
CM

Caroline M.

Value-Based Solutions Manager

“In addition to managing employee vesting, ClearCo manages the 409A valuations and compliance documentation so that leadership does not bother me about those things.”
BS

Brion S.

Lead Product and Design Manager

“Even though there is a report generator built into ClearCo, if you want your audit reports formatted in a particular way, you will still have to dump everything back into an Excel spreadsheet.”
BS

Brion S.

Lead Product and Design Manager

Pros

“Paylocity offers an intuitive, all in one HR platform that helps with payroll, onboarding, self-service, automation, and compliance tools, improving efficiency and the employee experience.”
TR

Torrey R.

Administrative Assisant to the HR Director

“Paylocity provides a user-friendly platform that brings payroll, benefits, HR, time tracking, and employee information together in one place.”

HR

“value for money, reporting feature, ease of payroll processing, recruiting platform is as simple or in depth as needed, the paylocity app is very user friendly for employees, communication platform is very handy, online onboarding”
HA

Holly A.

Human Resources Manager

Cons

“They took away personal contact support by changing their support to a generic email box. When creating internal management info system (MIS) reports, they are inflexible.”
BS

Brion S.

Lead Product and Design Manager

“In addition, I hate the monthly security code that you need to enter into your account.”
KC

Kenneth C.

Vice President

“The reporting is subpar and you would be better off with a different applicant tracking system.”
SS

Shameika S.

HR Generalist

Cons

“I also received automated reminder emails even after submitting the requested documents and correcting the issue they identified. When I called, I was told only my employer's HR department could communicate with Paylocity regarding the case, leaving me unable to get a status update directly.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Ashish K.

Senior Scientist

“However, my experience has also been impacted by recurring system limitations, reporting challenges, and difficulties obtaining timely support when issues arise. As an HR/payroll professional, accuracy and efficiency are critical, and there have been instances where payroll reporting, workers’ compensation reporting, and system functionality did not align with our operational needs.”
AC

Alyssa C.

Human Resource Payroll Manager

“The other thing was the start and and dates on the Human Resources side of Paylocity seems to confuse the users causing problems with hire date, benefit dates and transfer dates mid pay cycle. ”
