Pros

“Wagepoint gives us the tools to manage payroll properly, while the personal customer service makes the biggest difference. When building an organization from the ground up, having knowledgeable support available is invaluable.”

Shayla D.

Founder CEO

“Wagepoint makes it easier to keep everything in one place without relying on multiple spreadsheets or manual calculations. Once I enter employee hours or salary details, the system takes care of CPP, EI, and income tax based on CRA requirements.”

Chris U.

Bookkeeper and Administrative Support in Canada

“T4s and ROEs are generated directly within the system, and the information is already organized in a way that saves time when reviewing past payroll history.”

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

“Payroll notifications failed to go out, and I have spent hours troubleshooting and trying to determine whether my employees will actually be paid correctly and on time. When payroll software fails, the work doesn't disappear.”

Scott W.

Owner

“We've been waiting for DAYS with no help from their line with multiple tickets filed.”

Lucas M.

CSO

“Lack of flexibility with reports, and customization.”

Umanga P.

Accounting

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. ”
