"Paylocity review for G2"
What do you like best about Paylocity?

The best thing about Paylocity is the pre-process report which enables me to check the data entered against what I have in my payroll excel spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paylocity?

I hate all the scrolling down and over. I have to scroll down twice on the same page of payroll entry to get to the folks at the bottom of the page. The review process seems clunky and not easy to use. I preferred the way it was previous to your recent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly HRIS Platform, But API Limitations Affect Reporting"
What do you like best about Paylocity?

Simple interface and cloud-based HRIS platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paylocity?

The API is still limited based on the total available reporting that is available through the reporting tool. This creates issues with enterprise reporting automation. Not a blocker, but still frustrating when building BI tools based on available data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Integration and Usability, but Limited Customization Options"
What do you like best about Paylocity?

Modules are well integrated, the website is easy to use and user friendly for the most part. It also has a comprehensive menu to set up most of the options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paylocity?

Not everything is customizable, and sometimes we struggle with some features that will be less of a pain if they were customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Always there to help"
What do you like best about Paylocity?

Paylocity is easy to use, has great support, and integrates well with other systems that we use. You have your own Customer Service rep, so you receive consistent feedback. There is always someone willing to help, no matter how big or small the problem/question is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paylocity?

The main downside to me is the length of time it takes to resolve tax issues. Sometimes it feels like you receive another notice before the first one has been answereed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, and the customer service is fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When Paylocity switches things and doesn't let me know (like the most recent one where you switched to monthly invoices! I like weekly invoices. Wish you had stuck with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Airbase is #1"
What do you like best about Paylocity?

I have used several applications that allow for reimbursement over the years and Airbase truly makes things easy. Use the app for extreme efficiency, just take the photo of the receipt and your basically done. Don't want to use the app? That's ok, its really easy to take the photos, upload them to the computer and drag them into Airbase. You're basically done. The program overall was super easy to implement, support is great, and I use it at every time I travel for work. Best I have used to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paylocity?

I cannot show two nights on the hotel, vs 1 night. Accounting has not complained yet, I think they get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I am Corporate Controller for a holding company with over 10 subsidiaries."
What do you like best about Paylocity?

I process payroll on a weekly basis for about 22 people. I find Paylocity to be easy to use, once I familiarized myself with its layout. I really appreciate the live customer support that is available over the phone where I am able to speak with a knowledgable representative regarding specific directions regarding problem solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paylocity?

I utilized a service offered by Paylocity Tax Team to do the tax registrations for Idaho and Montana where we hired new employees. I was not kept up to date, and the team was slow to get to my request. I ended up doing the registrations myself because I couldn't get an answer on status. I won't use this registration service again. Speaking for our OpCo's I know there has been difficulty with the GL Integrations and working through the errors was tedious. There are multiple ERP systems among our subsidiaries, so the integrations are different from one another. We are in process of converting all to NetSuite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for streamlining to many different areas of payroll and HR and benefits"
What do you like best about Paylocity?

They updated their payroll processing and move the Time & Labor to the HR payroll processing screen so there is no need to export or import any hours to HR anymore. It makes it so much easier and we can stay in one place to process payroll for both hourly and salary employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paylocity?

They should go back to keep the click on buttons to orange vs. black. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
