    Paylocity Platform Praised for Intuitive Interface but Sign-In Process Challenging

    5.0
    Feb 25, 2026
    We switched to Paylocity and honestly the change has been significant. It´s much more intuitive and easier to use. Visually is amazing and it offers many features we can take advantage of, and the dashboard is very transparent and easy to understand and navigate. So far, I´ve really liked the platform and feel that the change has definitely been for the better.

Paylocity Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I like most is how easy it is to use and how interactive it feels. I also really value the ability to recognize your teamates, set and track goals, and have everything clearly outlined in your profile, such as gross salary, taxes, pay breakdown, benefits and more. Overall, I find it to be a very complete platform.

Dislike

I think for the price it is overly basic. Improvements take years to make and implement. There are many teams that depending on the issue your rep cannot assist you. Turnover is horrible so you never know who is going to reach out or assist. Any good contacts you have are gone within 6 months.
