Question on: Paylocity
I would like to set up Paylocity to hold all of my personnel records.
I have not taken the time to investigate putting all personnel records on the Paylocity program and presently keep all personnel records in folders in my computer. Trying to move away from paper personnel documents.
You can actually import those documents from the folders on your computer into each employees profile.
Yes, Paylocity has the capabilities to upload, store, and provided secure access to personnel documents. I keep our applications, HR paperwork, E-verifications, counseling doucments etc in each employee's HR file via Paylocity. There are only two people in our company that have access to these records because of the confidentiality nature of HR. So Paylocity has that capability too if you are concerned about accesibilty to these files. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,Maria
Paylocity has this function. I work for an Urgent care and it is great because I can upload licences and input exp. dates. It helps streamline and keep compliance. As well as limiting who can see. Only myself and the CEO are able to view the HR uploaded files. Its a great feature

Question on: Patriot Software
Is the below possible?
To set up email alerts for payroll coming due or to employees to log their time.
Nothing internally that I know of, but we use GSuite and set up reminders that way.
Patriot 's Time and Attendance software (an add-on to the payroll software) has a "nudge" tool that allows you to send reminder emails to employees to fill out their time card.

Question on: PDS Vista
How do I limit employees to enter more accrual time then they have available?
I think there must an option to limit employees to enter more accrual time then they have available, but we currently don't know how to do it
Best way may to be use the SQL user exit to validate or correct the entry. User exit allows custom code that applies before, during, or after a stored procedure runs. All screens call a stored procedure so you can custom almost anything if you want to.
