Verified reviewer profile picture

Amanda C.

Commercial Advisor

“There are certain complexities to the program that aren't easy for the newest person or even a more experienced person to navigate. Albeit is comprehensive, the format is a bit archaic, as it is a lot like MsDOS in functionality. ”
GC

Garnet C.

Technician

“The application itself could do anything/everything we needed it to, but most configuration changes had to be worked through a third party (SAP partner), which was always frustrating.”
ZH

Zach H.

Senior Systems Analyst

Cons

“More transparency on PDRs, we have a hard time tracking the status of the PDR submitted, we have to ask for updates every time, I wish there is a portal/dashboard we can track it by the PDR number.”
XL

Xin L.

HRIS Coordinator

“The system is not user friendly: Unnecessary separation of tabs and information, unhelpful AI bot, uneducated (and sometimes) unresponsive Support Team, constant unnecessary and unhelpful updates, numerous glitches in the system, etc.”
LS

Lauren S.

HR Coordinator and Recruiter

“We have experienced several challenges with Paylocity, including occasional inaccuracies in time-off accruals and balance transfers, incompatibility with employees in American Samoa which requires manual work, and improperly configured EDI.”
