“Paylocity Meets HR Needs Yet Lacks Direct International Payroll Processing Capability”
Paylocity has overall been a significant improvement from our prior HRIS system. We use the full suite of Paylocity modules, and it has been less costly using the full suite than the lower tier of our former system. In addition to the cost savings, the modules have hit just about every objective on what we were needing as an HR team and a company.

“Managing separate payroll systems creates ongoing complexity and extra workload”
I cannot express enough how disappointed I am in this product. Everything from implementation to the final product has been difficult. We were told that our payroll would be processed by Paylocity. Unfortunately, that is not true. They white label a third party for their Canadian payroll and we are now working on two separate payroll systems. Tax compliance is hit or miss and must be monitored closely. The basic payroll features that should be simple are increasingly complicated and require multiple workarounds.

Paylocity Offers Strong HRIS Features But Support Response Remains Problematic
Paylocity is a great HRIS with a lot of capabilities and an ever-working team behind the scenes that is working on product development to offer the most competitive solution. Paylocity's downfall absolutely comes in the form of service. The support team is slow to get back, slow to resolve, and frequently has no solution. - Human Resources Associate50M-1B USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
Not Bad, But Some Hiccups
I use Paylocity on a daily basis. Compared to other like-products, I would classify it as a good product, but there are things that could take it to a great status that Paylocity has yet to implement. For the most part, the usability has good functionality. The admin/backend side is clunky, however, requiring a lot of extra steps that could be streamlined. - Manager, Human Resources50M-1B USDSoftwareReview Source
Paylocity Simplifies Payroll Processing Yet Faces Challenges With Hourly Employee Tracking
Expenses are very easy to understand. There are some great features that alert managers before the payroll batch. Paylocity requires admins to carry out the tasks needed to be completed based on their guidance but they are not going to do everything for you./
