    Great mobile app, not as much for Desktop

    Updated: Apr 14 2022
    Summary

    Overall Paylocity is a great and simple app to use (for mobile devices not desktop) as it should be, these types of apps make the interface too crowded and complicated. The simpler it is, the better and I think Paylocity did a good job with their mobile app on achieving that.

    Positive

    The mobile app is simple and intuitive tool that is very easy to navigate and find exactly what you need. The ability to use thumbprint for identity verification is a big plus as most large company apps are using the same approach.

    Negative

    The desktop site is not as easy to navigate and can be difficult at times to find exactly what you're looking for. I tend going towards the app more vs desktop unless it has to do with anything benefits page.

    Solid Product that loves innovation

    Date: Aug 30 2021
    Summary

    I like this software. It is incredibly easy to use, navigate, set up and manage. They do all the integrations for you and get everything going. I like it a lot.

    Positive

    Their customer service is absolutely fantastic. It's easy to get help from them, and you can usually get someone on the phone in about a minute or less. They have many great features of their products, and they are constantly pushing to be the best product.

    Negative

    Honestly the worst part about this is the scalability. while they do have good options for small businesses, the price is very high.

    Easy to keep track of time sheet

    Date: Nov 05 2020
    Summary

    I’ve been using this for 2 months now and overall I’m happy how simple it is to use with very little confusion. All hourly employees should use Paylocity.

    Positive

    I love how easy it is to clock in and out and keep track of my hours with the time sheet feature. It also has an app.

    Negative

    Being able to go back and confirm your hours is kind of confusing at first but other than that no cons.

    A bit hard to navigate, but helpful

    Date: Nov 30 2020
    Summary

    Could be good for keeping company employee info and demographics, however it is extremely hard to navigate and training was not great. I felt like I learned something new everyday and I used this software for years. There definitely needs to be a change because it was very hard to use.

    Positive

    Helpful in the sense that a lot of information is right at your fingertips. It is great when managing a large company and their employees demographic and information.

    Negative

    This software is not user friendly. Reports are extremely difficult to run, people get locked out of their accounts constantly and need administrator help to re-access, and you have to click through so many tabs just to find the simplest information. Also, this software had locks and controls so only certain people could change info. It was very confusing and took up a lot of time when not necessary.
