What differentiates Paylocity from other similar products?

Our human resources processes are fully integrated into a single software platform. They handle everything from open enrollment to onboarding to payroll to regulatory reporting. It's easy to learn and use the system. You can count on prompt, no-cost assistance at any time. Paylocity also provides in-depth product and service training.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It ensures uniformity across the board for all new hires, wherever they may be. Benefits. Our initial representative was not helpful in upgrading our premiums. The second representative we spoke with took the initiative to look for the Paylocity information/knowledge document after our call and provide it to us via email.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Problems appear for no apparent reason, and it takes development teams weeks to investigate and report back with a solution. Until you chance to look for it, you probably won't realize that there was a problem weeks ago.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recently found out that our company has a benefits portal where we can go to make changes to our premiums all in one location. Instead of manually updating each worker, where more room for error exists, the system updates everyone at once.
