Pros

“It is good value for money, tracks time easily, helps keep track of schedule and helps in editing the schedule, make request or changes to the schedule, etc.”

Malika K.

CEO

“At the time our organization used iCIMs with UKG my role was as primarily an Onboarding Manager, but because of my systems, reporting and analytics background I was often asked to pull reporting for our [sensitive content hidden] and this is where my experience with UKG was gained.”

Lisa 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”
HA

Holly A.

Human Resources Manager

Cons

“It is not compatible with our current payroll system, so we have to do manual work to process employee payroll, which adds extra steps and time to the process.”
WR

Will R.

SR. HR Operations Specialist

“Unable to tab between fields in some pages which causes issues when completing timesheets from scratch”
KW

Kevin W.

Owner

“The notifications are annoying as they ping me about everything (no matter what) as long as it is related to Mo. And I always get confused with the "boost" button and I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly and also occasionally the application will crash when I attempt to load a picture into it.”
SO

Sergei O.

Co-Founder

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. ”
