Granted this and Kronos are the only time keeping applications i’ve used, Paycom happens to be the best of the best in terms of reliability, functionality, and looks.
I like that this software is easily accessible to all users and the training videos they provide helps users to input their information with ease.
We have really enjoyed the ability to pull all the reports for the many aspects of payroll. Our employees enjoy being able to pull all of their information.
Pros
I love the ease of entering employee information into the system. Paylocity allows both the employer and employee to view their benefit information and payroll information quickly.
User friendly, awesome customer service and true to their word. We do not have the web time feature but love how everything else operates.
It is safe and manageable, this app is good for payment too it has nice features of it.
Cons
The document management system was atrocious- once a document is uploaded the title cannot be changed so user error can complicate reporting and sorting. The ATS function was the absolute worst.
We have been very frustrated with our implementation and ongoing service. They push to go live in a very short amount of time but did a terrible job of working to make sure the set up was right.
There's a simple lack of fluidity to just about everything. The interface is inconsistent and shows signs of several incomplete re-skins.
Cons
The software is not as flexible as Paylocity would have you believe. We faced many struggles throughout our implementation and have still been struggling with policies 7 mos into our time with them.
There are still functions on the software that I am not utilizing because I never received follow up calls. I came from Quickbooks and it's difficult to reprint a lost check.
There seems to be disconnection between the separate systems, Web Pay, Web Time, Web Benefits, ACA that create a lot of headache, too many errors, and lots of frustration.

Bait and switch, twice now. Do not recommend.
Pros
Client specialist is excellent at responding.
Cons
Beware this is a company that seems to be having some internal changes to its policies and practices. The first sign is when our sales person quit. Upper Management and local sales team members blame others instead of focusing on customer service and doing the right thing. We were absolutely "misled". Twice. We should have gone with Paylocity which was considerably less expensive but chose this company...
