Torrey R.

Administrative Assisant to the HR Director

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

Pros

“It allowed me to continue collaborating with the same company without any hassle and has continuously offered support regarding multiple topics ranging from payroll and contract management up to employee cycle questions.”

Aleksandra A.

Online Marketing Manager

“The only thing I didn’t like that much is that on business trips to abroad there’s no daily wage or per diem. But they helped me to arrange this by reporting the daily wage from my user company as an expense, so they also solved it.”

Levente F.

Software engineer

“Payment deadlines and other important information are clearly displayed.”

Fernanda S.

Partnermanagerin

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.

Payroll Specialist

Cons

“Given a global workforce, response times can be restricted to CET working hours, which creates delays for team members in significantly different time zones.”

Vivek J.

Associate Director

“I had to complete a medical examination at their partner clinic, Enelmed, and the doctor was not particularly pleasant to interact with.”

Volodymyr Y.

Software Engineer

“I was initially a little bit skeptical that it would be an adequate replacement for a "direct with employer" contract, but I couldn't have been more wrong.”

Shaun W.

Partner Success Manager
