There is a lot of support to go to for topics which helps win situations that you may get into > > **Cons**: The phone support at times could be 30 minute plus hold times which in a situation feels like forever. More rebust API to use for thirdparty tools > > It has been great many people like to help us and offer us things to help our company grow and be safe for all. ----- ### "A Great HRIS for Small - Midsized Companies" — 4.0/5 > **Katie** | *21 July 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Paylocity is a super affordable platform to use as an HRIS. It's relatively easy to use (with training) and does a good job as a payroll system. We have a solid customer service representative that has helped us navigate the platform and set up things in a way that fits our organization\! > > **Cons**: What's great is also what is overwhelming. It's such a customizable system that sometimes it can be hard to figure out what you need and which "lever" to pull to make changes across the system. Also, sometimes the Time and Labor module doesn't sync well with the HR and Payroll system. There can be a lag or even a disconnect sometimes\! > > It's been a pretty good experience with Paylocity. There have been times that they seriously have dropped the ball with customer service, but then make up for it by added support, discounts, etc. ----- ### "All around wonderful program." — 5.0/5 > **Clarice** | *24 July 2026* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love every aspect of the Paylocity program for our company. We enjoy using this program and feel that it is worth more than we pay. > > **Cons**: The only con I have with the Paylocity program is that the system seems to have several small glitches. > > Our overall experience with the Paylocity program has been extremely wonderful and we would recommend it to anyone. ----- ### "Powerful HRIS and Payroll Platform, But Support and Add-Ons Fell Short" — 4.0/5 > **Ashley** | *10 June 2026* | Maritime | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Paylocity is a comprehensive HRIS and payroll platform that offers a wide range of functionality across the employee lifecycle. One of its greatest strengths is scalability. Organizations can manage payroll, benefits, time and labor, recruiting, performance management, and employee engagement within a single ecosystem. The reporting capabilities are robust, allowing HR teams to access and analyze workforce data efficiently, and the employee self-service features are generally well received and help reduce administrative burdens. > > **Cons**: Where my experience became frustrating was with customer support and some of the additional products sold as part of the Paylocity ecosystem. We frequently received inconsistent or incorrect guidance from support representatives, which occasionally resulted in costly mistakes and required additional time to resolve. The revolving-door nature of support contacts also made it difficult to establish continuity and build confidence in the advice being provided. I was also disappointed by several add-on products that were represented as seamlessly integrated but did not function as expected in practice. For example, we selected Paylocity's COBRA administration solution with the expectation that it would automate processes and reduce administrative effort. Instead, we encountered significant manual workarounds that diminished the value of the product and largely defeated the purpose of implementing it. Similarly, after transitioning to Paylocity's HSA/FSA administration services, employees expressed considerable frustration with the account setup process and ongoing account access. > > Overall, Paylocity is a strong HRIS and payroll platform with excellent functionality, reporting, and scalability. However, organizations should carefully evaluate add-on products and be prepared for potential challenges with customer support. The core platform delivered value, but the support experience and ancillary services prevented us from realizing the full benefits we expected. ----- ### "Consistent Innovation, Reliable Support, Real Results" — 5.0/5 > **Crystal** | *10 August 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been with Paylocity for almost 10 years, and the platform has helped us significantly streamline our HR processes. One of the biggest improvements has been onboarding. We no longer spend an employee's first day completing stacks of paperwork because new hires can complete the onboarding process before they ever walk through our doors. What has impressed me most is that Paylocity delivered on the commitments made during the sales process. The features and efficiencies they demonstrated have come to fruition, and the system has consistently evolved to meet our needs. Over the years, Paylocity has become an important partner in helping us create a more efficient and employee-friendly HR experience. > > **Cons**: At this time, my only significant criticism is that Paylocity discontinued its in-person client conferences following COVID. I always found those events to be a worthwhile investment of both time and money because they provided valuable networking opportunities, hands-on learning, and direct access to Paylocity experts and other clients. While the virtual conferences offer useful content, they simply do not deliver the same level of engagement, collaboration, or relationship-building that comes from meeting in person. > > Our overall experience with Paylocity has been extremely positive. We have partnered with Paylocity for nearly 10 years, and throughout that time they have helped us streamline processes, improve efficiencies, and create a better experience for both HR and employees. The platform has allowed us to move away from time-consuming manual processes, particularly in onboarding, where new hires can now complete necessary paperwork before their first day on the job. What stands out most is that Paylocity has consistently delivered on the commitments made during the sales process. The functionality, enhancements, and efficiencies we were promised became a reality, and the platform continues to evolve with new features and capabilities. Customer support has also been a strong point of the partnership. When issues arise or questions need to be addressed, the support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find solutions. Having access to reliable support gives us confidence that we are not just purchasing software, but partnering with a company that is committed to our success. Overall, Paylocity has been a trusted partner that has helped us modernize our HR operations while providing the tools and support needed to grow and adapt over time. ----- Page: 1 / 78\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4537/web-pay?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4537/web-pay) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
