“However, it lacks usability and isn't that user friendly which can be problematic for navigation and understanding for employees.”

“Slow & doesn't have much integration with other platforms.”

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.”

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. ”
