    Vicki Bird, SHRM-CP
    Human Resources Generalist in Human Resources at Amwood Homes (Construction, 51-200 employees)
    Chose Paylocity
    We feel we got all the features and functionality needed at a fair price. One HUGE determining factor was Paylocity's ability to interface with Employee Navigator in which we already used through our insurance broker. We also liked that the company was relatively local to …

    Paylocity is much more user friendly than Dayforce BY FAR. Reporting is easier, payroll is easier. Dayforce is also more expensive.

    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity is much more user friendly. I have used Paylocity in multiple organizations. It is intuitive, it works. There is no guessing as far as where to navigate. The time cards are easy to use and edit as necessary. HR-wise, the onboarding and recruiting functions are also …

    HR Manager in Human Resources at LandPro Equipment LLC (Retail, 201-500 employees)
    Chose Paylocity
    We have been using Paylocity since 2018. At the time pricing and customer service was the main reason. The pricing is still very competitive, and even though I feel the Paylocity service has dropped off, it is still better than what I experienced years ago with ADP. Overall, …

    Paylocity has been easier to set up and utilize than other platforms we have used. It is so easy to have everything located in one place. This makes tracking and assigning information easier. It also allows our employees to be able to access information through one portal and …

    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity is more cost effective as it is one system that connects all the modules together. ADP has so many different add-ons and systems that it is confusing and also very expensive.

    Chose Paylocity
    Paylocity is the best system I have worked on. Both from an admin and employee side, it is the easiest to navigate, most robust in terms of what it offers, and hands down has the best reporting. We had a lot of problems with a previous platform and tax pay, which ultimately led …

    Chose Paylocity
    I wasn't actually involved in the selection process. I came on board after it was already selected. But just in a comparison, I think that the different options and the accessibility to the employee records, it makes it paramount for me.

    I would say pretty good. I know that we previously used Paycor, but I don't believe we really enjoyed it, which is why we switched to Paylocity.
