Paylocity

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

It offers better management and real-time control of each of the data, scheduling, time tracking and the workforce. The real-time operation of this section is what allows it to stand out from the competition, as it offers real results of the completed work hours of each employee, individual employee performance and this helps us measure the work effort, while other similar platforms take time to process this type of data and generate workforce analytics.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Paylocity generates real and exact calculations in any payroll processing, where it is able to make exact deductions from payments, calculate taxes automatically. The platform allows you to perfectly manage the performance and fulfillment of objectives in each employee, which allows you to manage the talent of each one and know if they are processing in their work area. Paylocity allows you to manage work times for each employee, manage entry and exit times, manage overtime and incorporate a data collection system in real time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The mobile app has very limited functions, in this app you cannot add new schedules, exchange entry times between employees, add overtime to a specific employee and there are many more functions that are not available since currently this mobile app only allows monitoring employee behavior in real time and generating a new payroll.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend that you enable the automatic work time collection system, since this will help you to have an exact record of the time that one of the employees entered and the time that he/she left in his/her work office, this helps a lot to calculate the hours to be paid weekly for each employee.

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

The ease of access, and the amount of self-reliance available to the end users is what differentiates Paylocity from other similar products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My personal favorite aspect of this product is the ability to operate multiple systems through a single user interface as opposed to having to integrate outside software in order to get anything done.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There's nothing that I dislike about this product.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend anyone considering this product be aware of how to manage your finances and how to record data as the software is very easy to use but is very dependent upon the end user being self-reliant.

What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

Training modules and live training have been a valuable tool for learning Paylocity. I have several clients who implemented Paylocity, coming from other platforms. Paylocity was able to provide a smooth transition from one platform to another with minimal challenges. Clients are able to choose the training that works best for their employee population. While the end result is that everyone is paid correctly, getting to the end result is equally important.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of the product is the training available. You can choose instructor led training or training modules. That has been so valuable in implementing Paylocity.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Reporting can be a challenge. I have submitted several requests for custom reports due to not being able to get the data I need in a format I need. The other frustrating thing is not being able to reach a specific department without going through one account manager. It would be more productive, in my opinion, to be able to reach billing or general ledger, or any other department directly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be very specific with your business needs. Paylocity is capable of providing what you need as long as you communicate well. The implementation process may seem tedious, but it is necessary to get the result you desire.
