I have processed payroll while away on vacation multiple times using my iPad. I even did it once from a cruise ship when I paid for internet access. Make sure you have signed in on that particular device before. If you haven't then you need to get codes sent to you which might be harder if you're out of cell phone reach.

Yes, anywhere there is access to wifi you will be able to manage the day to day of your business with Paylocity however I highly recommend making sure all connections are secure only because of the data you are storing with this platform. Could you log in at an internet cafe in Paris on a business trip to correct a payroll issue....yes you can, but I would I recommend it...no. Paylocity is not only user friendly even with remote access but their customer service is great if you get hung up in any way just give them a call and your personalized team will walk you through it

Question on: Gusto
Poor Customer SupportNo direct access to Customer Support unless you are the Gusto account holder. Our company has received many thousands of dollars for unspecified clients from Gusto and we have not been able to have anyone on the phone locate and give details of the monies they direct deposited. We will not be recommending Gusto to other payors - excessive wait times and lack of support.
