Paylocity

Paylocity Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Paylocity is a payroll platform most used by small businesses in healthcare, construction, and nonprofit sectors. Its mobile-first payroll tools—like direct deposit and clock-in/out—are praised for ease of use. However, benefits setup, compensation tracking, and timekeeping may require more admin oversight.

### Our verdict

It suits teams that want a unified payroll and HR experience without juggling multiple platforms. Its mobile-first design and automation features help reduce admin time, but buyers should expect a learning curve and occasional bugs. While some advanced HR modules may require workarounds, the platform remains a practical fit for teams with complex operational needs.

## Pricing

Paylocity does not publicly list pricing on its website, so buyers must contact the vendor directly for a customized quote based on company size, selected modules, and service needs. However, to give you an idea of the market, most HR buyers we spoke to—including those focused on payroll—budget around $74 per user, per month.

The platform’s pricing can scale with your team’s growth, but costs may increase as you add services like tax filing or direct deposit. This is why clarifying must-haves early in the process translates to controlled spending.

Overall my experience with Paylocity has been great. It is easy to use and very intuitively organized.

Pros

Paylocity is quick and easy to use, especially in comparison to similar solutions. It makes it very easy to enter and update time spent working and submit requests for time off.

Cons

I have few complaints, overall paylocity is very good, the one thing I would find useful would be some sort of feature where you can automatically pre-fill your time sheet with some sort of default value based on your regular working hours.

Pros

I was able to access my paystubs and W2s. The platform is very easy to use. The layout is one one of the main features I use.

Cons

You have to make sure you have the correct company access code and credentials. They have to be precise.

Overall, Paylocity has been a solid system to work with. It can be a little cumbersome to set up on the front end, but once it’s up and running, it’s very easy to use day to day. The transparency within the platform is a big plus, and support has been helpful whenever we’ve needed it.

Pros

The platform is very user-friendly and easy to navigate, even for newer team members. The customer support has been consistently responsive and helpful whenever issues come up. I also appreciate the transparency-it gives employees clear visibility into their performance and activity at a glance.

Cons

Getting everything set up on the front end can be a little clunky and time-intensive, but once it’s in place, it’s pretty easy to manage day to day.

This review is very positive so I would say positive. Something unique is our dedicated client reps were open to discussing upcoming changes in the software and what was coming down the pipe and were always asking for feedback so as a user you always had a sense of buy in on both sides.

Pros

Wow this is a tough one because I have been an ardent supporter and proponent of Paylocity for many years now. The technology, UI, robust set up and the customer set up and support are absolutely outstanding. If you've gotten to a point in your business and HR needs where you've outgrown the smaller options this is hands down the top pick.

Cons

It's difficult to point to anything because any small issues we had such as setting up complex codes or changing GL ledger formats were really self induced or normal change management issues that arise. The support team and our dedicated client reps were always there to bounce ideas off and talk through best practices or what they've seen other clients do in similar situations when you got an odd ball issue.

It does what it needs to do most of the time. Every Once and awhile the gremlins will show up and throw something off and the support will have not answers as to why or off any timely solution.

Pros

I do not know if I have a favore feature. Maybe onboarding it's one of the few place where I seem to have enough control to set thing to our companies needs

Cons

Still customer service. Unless they're selling you something its hard to get in contact with anyone knowledgeable enough to help.

I had a recent issue where I had some complications with setup of double child support. The Customer Service rep would not process for me but instead gave me 3 different wrong answers for me to process 3x. And when it did not work she "didn't know why that wasn't working". Not only did she waste hours of my time during payroll which is time sensitive. But in the end I was given incorrect information to delete my entire batch and start over which I knew was incorrect. That would involve so much work I would've missed the submission deadline.

Pros

Software is still good. Opinion is the same as far as setup/maintenance and payroll processing. There have been recent updates that are positive.

Cons

Customer service reps are not trained. Paylocity is ok if you are willing to know all aspects of the software or only use the online Knowledge Base assistance provided in the software.

How Capterra ensures transparency

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider's website.
