User friendly HRIS

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Paylocity has been amazing through and through. We have been able to do so many great engagement activities thanks to Community. Managers are able to submit journal entries on the go for quick responses and feedback.

Pros:

We love the mobile capability for our team. Most features are accessible from smartphones, which helps our technicians in the field.

Cons:

The benefits of EDI transfers were more of an issue that it's worth implementing. Rates changes and the open enrollment spreadsheet is cumbersome. It's our least favorite product.

Great app! Easy to use!!

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Great app, very good for time and pay management. Offers lots of perks that would benefit any organization that needs to manage its' employees.

Pros:

Paylocity is so easy to use. Our company uses it to manage our punches, time off, and overtime. The app is the absolute best and makes for quick punches as needed during our shifts. I also like how easy it is to make changes to incorrect punches.

Cons:

Sometimes the app glitches, and it has to be refreshed in order to work. The website lags just a little bit as well.

easy to use

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: great expereance with Paylocity - can get multiple reports with ease

Pros:

It is so easy to use - Staff able to clock in and out on app without any issues or help

Cons:

sometimes there are too many reports with similar names that to get the right on you have to go through a lot but it is easy to run reports and if employee works in multiple departments must be vigilant to get in right department. Also the app does not have an employee sign in to correct department if they are in hallway - goes to wrong department
