Bueno

Genial y preciso

Manager

The best way to keep records of hours and benefits.

Pay late

My company switched to this app and now we all get paid a day later than normal. Not cool.

HR staffer Adrienne in NOLA

She was very patient and helpful πŸ’™

Is ok to have an app that clocks in and out every time you come to work the on my issue I have is when my phone need to update Paylocity it does take forever

Bruceene

BruceeneI have a Paylocity account for one of my pay checks. Do I need to do anything to add another pay check from another company?

Full of oversights, making life harder for employees.

The website has a good look to it, or the app if you choose, but first time using it full of bugs. Cannot download paycheck stub. I download something, but it ends up being a blank page. How brilliant is that? Why isn’t my employer identification number available to me? When I go on my desktop to look up Paylocity the first thing it asked for is the company ID number. So stupid of an oversight someone should be fire. This must be cheap because employers are switching to it.

Easy to use!

Positive review

I love Paylocity, easy and accessible! I’m on vacation in Hawaii right now and forgot to put my hours in and Paylocity Mobile allowed me to do it, no problem. I love this app!

Calendar Sync?

It's fine. I can do most everything I need on my phone app, which is preferred. I would LOVE to export events, shifts, etc to my phone calendar.

Worst Payroll App I ever used

The web version is good but this app is terrible.

On demand

I requested some money out my paycheck 3 days ago and never received the deposit, and it showing the app that the money was requested

It’s got everything your need, just not user friendly.

It is extremely hard to navigate this app. The AI is unnecessary and doesn’t work anyways. Sure, it’s got everything you need in one, but the UI is hard to navigate and the stuff that you seem to use the most is shoved in a random corner somewhere

Municipality- Lack of visibility

We cannot view our employees' compensation in the app, but I can view my individual compensation as an administrator. As a Government Agency, our salaries are open and public information and should be accessible as needed, especially to administrators. I believe it is a functional deficiency.

It sucks

Slow location issue not with company with app

Work app

One of the worst platform to used has a company work app lack of information

Works until it doesn’t

Just updated the app 10/30/2026 and although it was working well up until today, following the update I get a spinning circle that never ends. AI assistant can’t even make up its mind as to a response.

On Demand πŸ‘Ž PayDay Loan

1 of 2 things that is a problem & frustrating for me. The first time I had to get a Pay Day Loan, to get oil, I requested it early A.M. but won’t be released until after 5:30 P.M EST that same night. First time my husband used his (Daily Pay) got his immediately. That’s how it should be to me, that’s guaranteed income you already worked.

The second is with the Location. I’m literally more than halfway into the bldg. I work at to punch in and get, β€œIt appears you are outside.” A lot of my coworkers get this, even standing right beside the Location device.
