About Paylocity

Paylocity offers a cloud-based HCM suite for midsize businesses with a notable focus on employee engagement through its Community social collaboration feature. The platform covers core HR, payroll, benefits, talent management, learning management, and time tracking. The on-demand pay feature letting employees access earned wages early is increasingly popular. The mobile app is well-designed and the overall employee experience is modern. Paylocity's breadth is its strength, but some individual modules lack the depth of specialized tools. Pricing requires a sales conversation and can be higher than expected. Implementation timelines are moderate, and the learning curve for administrators using advanced features is significant. Best for midsize companies wanting a single platform with strong engagement features.
