### "Paylocity helps ease my day!"

October 13, 2025

5.0

My experience has been pleasant so far. I love all the learning opportunities I have access too with Paylocity. There are some items that my company pays for that I feel is a great value for me not having to do the heavy lifting of certain processes.

Pros

I like the ease of using Paylocity. I can find everything in a spot that makes sense and if I can't find something the AI search is really helpful. Also, like the access to the articles for further learning, allowing more ease of my usage on this site.

Cons

If I had to pick, I guess not being able to ask our account manager at ease. Though I have no problems with the other Paylocity employees that help when account manager is not available, it would just be nice to work with a certain team more consistently.

### "Paylocity is the best HRIS system"

October 20, 2025

5.0

Pros

Very user friendly both for the organization and its employees. There are many functions available! Very customizable to your organization. Excited for the continuous upgrades. Customer service has always been great, they are always able to assist you.

Cons

There are so many functions you have to really learn how to utilize all the functions, you still get your moneys worth but the more you learn and set up the easier it has been to use.

### "Overall Satisfied"

September 25, 2025

4.0

We've been with Paylocity since 2015 and have added a few different module that have greatly benefited our company. Overall I am satisfied.

Pros

Has a wide variety of product features to fit your needs. Each module is fairly simple and easy to navigate.

Cons

At time there is a long response time to customer service email inquires. The full side affects of an implemented change are not always explained; probably because there are no many features.

### "Review of Paylocity Experience"

November 21, 2025

3.0

We have had some issue with the data integrity as there were mass changes done via Weblink both internally and by Paylocity team members that have created a historical pay history mess and there is no way to resolve the issue except for manually updating.

Pros

The ease of use. The company already had Paylocity when I started, however there would be things that I would've implemented differently if I was working here when Paylocity was implemented.

Cons

The reporting isn't very user dynamic, which makes it hard to filter things in Excel. The customer service isn't great, we've had numerous changes in Account Managers and are directed to Peak articles frequently.

### "It's fine."

September 25, 2025

3.0

Overall, it's fine. I probably wouldn't recommend it if someone is looking for something innovative or user-friendly.

Pros

There are several features that cover a broad range of needs. I appreciate how many of the features are "a la carte" and not necessarily required to be purchased as part of a greater package.

Cons

Customer support is virtually non existent. While there are many support persons, they often act as a liaison between the client and Paylocity's (often outdated) support articles. Paylocity continuously updates their platform without updating said articles or educating their support team. I often have to ask the same question multiple times before getting an adequate response, which is usually not timely. I also find myself frustrated by all the different areas you have to go to make a singular update. It's like the different features and sections do not cross-communicate.

It has been good, other than the continuous EDI feed issues that we are facing and is working with the team to fix it.

Pros

The HR and Payroll Management, Surveys, Learning, and Training modules are very well done and useful.

Cons

The Benefit Module, EDI-related issues have been continuous for the past few months and we have been working with Paylocity team to get these resolved

### "A great product!"

November 20, 2025

5.0

Overall, it serves the purpose for all our needs as far as timekeeping, payroll, and reporting. It is a quick way to access all the important areas for scheduling, time keeping etc. and simple to edit as needed.

Pros

Overall, very easy to use as an administrator and the team feels it is simple to navigate as well. A good value for the investment. Love the app too!

Cons

At times the reporting can be a bit confusing. Finding a report isn't always as simple a process as desired. It takes a while to figure out.

### "It is our An All-in-One System"

October 20, 2025

5.0

We have been so happy with all the funcialities that Paylocity provides to our organization and the customization to our organization as well.

Pros

Our organization uses from Paylocity for payroll, onboarding, performance review managmenet, ACA compliance and Surveys. It is truly a one-stop-shop for us and makes managing employees easier for our growing organizaition.

Cons

The customer support either be really great or terrible. It really depends on who you get on the other line. That is not a deal breaker but it can be frustrating at times.

### "Abundance of Options!"

November 21, 2025

5.0

We have been with Paylocity for a little over a year now and are constantly discovering more ways in which we can utilize what is offered. We are starting to become more and more familiar with the system.

Pros

The possibilities with Paylocity seem endless. The functionality and suite of products is abundant and offers opportunity for pretty much any type of business to utilize Paylocity.

Cons

Sometimes it is a little difficult to get ahold of our account representative but when they are unavailable, others are always available to assist.

### "Negative review on Paylocity - would not recommend "

February 16, 2026

1.0

Overall I would like to change HRIS providers. When it comes to construction companies, Paylocity is not a good fit. I would never recommend Paylocity to any construction company out there.

Pros

Their Payroll System is user friendly. When it comes to payroll, if you do not have billable hours or wages that you need to track, it is very easy to do so.

Cons

Their support team really does not know what they are doing. Almost every call that I make, I find out the answer before the support person does. Once in a blue moon do I actually get someone that understands what I really need help on when I call for support.

### "Paylocity is for HR!!"

November 21, 2025

5.0

We use it as our HRIS system, we love it. Paylocity is the leader and continue to add and implement new processes and abilities.

Pros

It is an all-encompassing HRIS system that handles all needs in one place. It eliminates the need to have multiple different software.

Cons

Not having automatic communication ability. It would be nice if the system automatically notified employees their leave is ending based on information in the system.

### "Accessible & User Friendly"

February 26, 2026

4.0

Positive! The ease of use and visually appealing interface is the best I've used. The Paylocity team has been responsive when any small issue comes up.

Pros

Very user friendly. Has everything I would need as a employee and admin. I love being able to toggle back and forth between timesheets, employee information and recruiting.

Cons

Constant updates keep changing the location of links. Wish there was some sort of heads up or follow up when changing the location of links to make accessibility better.

### "User-Friendly and Efficient HRIS"

February 26, 2026

5.0

Overall, I’m very happy with Paylocity. The platform is user-friendly, reliable, and makes it easy to manage payroll and HR tasks efficiently. It has streamlined many of our processes and saved us time, and the support team has been responsive whenever we’ve had questions.

Pros

The top two things I like most about Paylocity are how simplified the payroll process is and how little time it takes to complete. I’m also impressed with their customer service — I can always reach someone quickly and get the answers I need.

Cons

There was a bit of a learning curve during implementation, but it improved once I became more familiar with the system

### "Reliable, consistent, and easy to navigate. "

November 21, 2025

4.0

Overall it has been good. Transition to Paylocity was very smooth. There were some bumps with Implementation overall but that is to be expected. When you get the right person on the phone, they are super helpful.

Pros

Very user friendly. Good customer support. Enjoy the use of the AI Assistant to find articles or help guide me to the right place.

Cons

Sometimes it is hard to get a response if you email a question. We have had a lot of Account Manager changes. The music when you are on hold is super annoying. (I know this isn't that important but maybe they can switch it up?!)

### "Works overall pretty well"

October 10, 2025

4.0

Overall I really do like paylocity and would say my experience has been positive I do think they need to focus on their support model and simplify some of the configurations.

Pros

Paylocity is very easy to navigate for the most part once you implement and set up. I love the recruiting platform.

Cons

The customer support is lacking, often when I need support I get a fact sheet sent to me when I could have simply found that myself.

Paylocity has made my daily duties easy when processing payroll with the guided instructions on the next steps.

Pros

Easy to find any report I may need. If I have questions on how to do things there is Easy to follow step by step instructions in the help tab.

Cons

When I'm processing payroll i have to check employees time with there timecard so I wish there was a link to employee timecards on there profile.

### "love Paylocity"

November 6, 2025

5.0

We've been with Paylocity for several years now and have had a great experience overall. Getting service when needed is easy and they are always helpful and polite.

Pros

The employee time import into the new payroll run feature is so simple and fast, it makes running payroll so smooth.

Cons

The only thing I really don't like is that it's harder to review total regular hours for only hourly employees on a payroll run with the new run payroll update.

February 12, 2026

Overall experience has been great, so glad we made the switch. It was a fairly simple implementation. The app is easy to use. Paylocity takes out the headache of Payroll.

Pros

We've enjoyed the ease of use of the system. The support when we do not know how to do something is great also.

Cons

Not always being able to speak with our Account Manager. We still get our issues resolved but it would be nice to build the comradery with your account manager.

### "Paylocity HRIS"

September 26, 2025

4.0

It's been good, I am very happy with the system and service overall. When I have an issue, its a simple phone call.

Pros

The PCTY system is very robust, and although I am still learning, they have great support and the system is easy to use. It's been a great value to us having everything in one system - payroll, time and attendance and benefits.

Cons

Because the system is so robust and customizable, it's hard to learn/know everything you can and cannot do. Sometimes you end up learning through mistakes, which isn't ideal but with a system like this its expected.

February 3, 2026

Paylocity makes it easy to clock in and out, check my hours for the week, and my hours for each pay period.

Pros

Paylocity is easy to use whether you are using the mobile app or the website. You can find all of your employment information easily.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a while to figure out where everything is again after changes are made. But once you figure it out, its like it never changed.

### "True Review of Paylocity"

September 25, 2025

4.0

My overall and utilization of the system is good 7.5/10. Payroll set-up was the hardest integration and working with various subject matter experts were difficult at times.

Pros

I like the ease of use of the system and my account manager is always there to support me. The functions are easy to use.

Cons

The integration was a bit problematic but Paylocity did a good job to mediate the situation. I would have liked to have 1 subject matter expert on all functions that would have helped the integration.

My overall experience with Paylocity is good. With every system there are pros and cons but Paylocity seems to have more Pros than Cons.

Overall, the experience is fine. I wish it were exceptional but I'm not sure any system can satisfy everyone.

Pros

The system is relatively easy to use and serves a purpose. Customer support is generally good and reliable.

Cons

Too many "known issues" with no fix dates in sight. Some compliance related. Some have been outstanding for YEARS (plural). Communication of issues is essentially non-existent.

Overall I've had a great experience! From the payroll processing side to the onboarding tools to the employee self portal.

Pros

The updates and features that continually make the product better and more user friendly are great! They always incorporate things to make the system more friendly and easy to use.

Cons

The layers of steps it takes to create a payroll batch seems a bit burdensome. Also there seems to be little organization in the Reports section, with pages and pages full of reports. Just makes it difficult to find.
