Our company loves paylocity as it has made everything so much easier to manage without worrying if it is being done right. Pros The app and how employees can look over everything on there. That there are integrations that work with paylocity that makes things easier Example it integrates with quickbooks. The HR avaliability and having our own desginated onboarding personal to help us set-up is amazing. Cons That approving the time and payroll run is on a seperate page. I think at times everything that is provided is a little overwhelming. I wish that there was a little more communication and follow up like quarterly to go over our services and remind us that we have those services avaliable. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Was looking for someone to manage our payroll also to make sure employees are clocking in and out to keep track of time.

Every representative is very knowledgeable and guides me to a solution when I am stressed out dealing with a time sensitive matter(s). Cons Longer wait times on the phones for support recently. Also the cost of integrations and the length it takes to make them happen. However I know that is a given with any HRIS. Alternatives considered [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Reason for choosing Paylocity I have heard the app is more user friendly for staff.

February 26, 2026 5.0 Paylocity has been so easy to work with, redesign our setup and make the platform work efficiently for us an dour team. The person who originally set it up only set i tup to work for payroll. Now it works for all departments and the team! Pros Ease of use, many options to help our team stay connected. The fact we can run performance reviews from the system and keep track of them year after year. The way the help contact is designed makes finding answer so much easier than other platforms. Cons I don't have an least "like" of Paylocity. Paylocity is so mobile friendly and easy to learn and use what's not to like about it compared to other systems.

HR Director Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent software, lacking customer service" May 1, 2025 3.0 It was good in the beginning (8 years ago), but the extreme growth they have experienced has caused major customer service issues for clients. Lots of mistakes, missed communications, and having to repeat things to them over and over. Seems like they are trying to address this but it's still not great. Pros Good employee experience. Easy to navigate. Continual enhancements to stay current with competition. Cons Poor customer service from an administrator's standpoint. No ability to talk directly with various departments (ie. Tax, Reporting, etc.) which leads to way too much "pass the message along" and lots of wasted time. "Dedicated" customer service teams get changed on the client constantly, so there is no way to build a relationship. Slow to make needed software changes when issues are found.

HR Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recommend Paylocity" October 13, 2025 5.0 The overall experience with Paylocity was good, definitely got better once we purchased the most recent modules. Pros Especially good on collaboration for HR & Finance teams, a bit tricky to learn however once you learn the features it is easy to use. Cons We had a slow start with our original onboarding Paylocity, but it had improved since we added the latest modules. Review Source SC Sierra C. Director of Human Resources Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software!" October 10, 2025 5.0 I’ve used many payroll systems over the years, and Paylocity is definitely my favorite. It’s easy to use once you get the hang of it, and it has everything you need to manage everything one place. Pros Paylocity has a lot of great features and can be customized to fit your needs. It’s reliable, runs smoothly, and their customer support team is always quick to help when you need it. Cons Because there’s so much you can do in the system, it can take a little time to figure out how to set things up. However, their support team is really helpful and always ready to jump in to help. Switched from [VensureHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/175443/VensureHR/) They did not have good customer service and always left us with questions. The system overall felt outdated. Review Source JC John C. Controller Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Positive Experience" September 25, 2025 4.0 Pros The ability to integrate different features of their software. You have the ability to add on to your existing product to make it customizable to you. It is easy to use for employees and a great value for employers. You are able to clearly see any data you want to. Integrates easily with other 3rd parties. Cons Some of the features are not as customizable as you would expect. Being able to have the software tailored to you would be more advantageous.

People Technology Partner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Overall Review of Paylocity" January 29, 2026 4.0 Pros Paylocity is a robust and flexible platform that effectively supports multiple functional areas across HR and payroll. One of its greatest strengths is its ability to consolidate key processes such as payroll, benefits administration, time and attendance, and talent management into a single system. This flexibility allows HR teams to streamline workflows, reduce the need for multiple vendors, and better support both employees and leaders across the organization. The platform’s modular design also makes it easier to adapt as organizational needs evolve. Cons That said, one of the main challenges with Paylocity is the response time for escalated support tickets. While standard support is generally adequate, escalated issues can take longer than expected to resolve. This delay can create bottlenecks, especially when time-sensitive payroll or HR issues are involved, and can impact overall efficiency. Faster and more consistent resolution times for escalated cases would significantly improve the overall user experience. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) I'm not sure. The switch was made prior to my hire. Review Source DS DEBORAH S.

February 26, 2026 4.0 As a first-time user, it has been pleasant and easy to pick up. It integrates very nicely with different systems and tools also! Pros I appreciate the easy-of-use, instruction guides, clear customer support, and that it is constantly innovating. The more intuitive, the better! Cons I feel like there are some processes that could be more streamlined or clear. For example, pulling reports isn't that straightforward - I think it's just appearance in the system. I would also love to see more ease-of-use for companies that due 401K Match calculations. This is pretty manual. Review Source LH Leslie H.

Managers find it easy to keep track of their employees and payroll is a breeze to do every week. So happy we switched to Paylocity! Pros We had a great experience switching payroll providers to Paylocity. We were able to save money and add services for our employees as well. Our support team made the transition smooth and easy.

Senior Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Paylocity HRIS for Both Payroll & Employee Development/Performance" February 24, 2026 4.0 My employer actually switched back to Paylocity as an HRIS after being in ADP. I used Paylocity at my previous company pre-acquisition and experienced no issues. Now that we switched over post-acquisition, it seems like they are less complications with managing a larger workforce and it's more user-friendly. Pros Paylocity has a very simple portal from the employee perspective with managing both payroll and employee development functionalities like performance management. Cons The SSO function sometimes causes trouble logging in. I've had to save an email with the unique SSO link to navigate directly into the portal with SSO. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) Unsure of what triggered the switch, but it was likely due to cost and a larger, more complex workforce due to acquisitions.

Cons Reporting and document handling. It would be nice to run better/clearer reports. For document handling it would be nice to have easier ways to send out contracts.
