Pros

“They handle the filing of 941's and any other Payroll Related taxes - and make issuing tax related documents to your employees a breeze every January!”

Allison H.

Operations Manager and HR

“They gave me a year of paying one month and not paying the next. When it works, it's decent- just a payroll service.”

Leila E.

CEO

“Reporting features are limited compared to competitors.”

Suman A.

Owner,Bookkeeper,Tax Preparer

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.”

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.”

Anish C.

“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”

Holly A.

Human Resources Manager

Cons

“Their customer service agents will over-promise and tell you things that are not accurate, so then you have to deal with another agent to fix the issues.”

Jorge Q.

Owner

“Their promises to pay rewards for referrals and never follow through. When I contact anyone; I always get the answer "not my dept"”

Vicki L.

Administrator

“The website for the system is a bit complicated to navigate.”

Brenda S.

Case Manager

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.”

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. ”

Adelaide S.
