Prachi D.

Administrative

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. ”
AS

Adelaide S.

Payroll Specialist

Cons

“The reporting tools are functional but building custom reports isn't the most intuitive process and it often takes more trial and error than it should.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Blake A.

It Technician

“Some parts of the system can feel less intuitive than they could be, and navigating between candidate records and different hiring workflows occasionally takes more clicks than expected.”
MO

Michael O.

Communications Manager

“Any request, even basic ones, requires hours of follow ups, explanations, and escalations, and many issues still remain unresolved. If you choose Paycor, be prepared to spend at least five hours trying to fix problems that should be straightforward, with no guarantee they will be resolved.”
