Paylocity provides cloud HR and payroll software, primarily for mid-sized companies. Employers run payroll, manage benefits enrollment, track time and scheduling, handle onboarding and performance, and report on workforce data, all within one platform. A mobile app lets employees see pay stubs, request time off, and update details.
The company emphasizes employee experience and community features, such as company feeds, recognition, and surveys, in addition to core payroll. An AI assistant answers employee questions about pay, benefits, and company policy using the employer’s data, and helps managers and HR with drafting and analysis, which reduces the number of routine tickets.
Paylocity is sold by quote and charges per employee per month, with modules added as needed. It sits between small-business tools like Gusto and large enterprise systems like Workday. Competitors include ADP, Paycom, Paycor, Ceridian Dayforce, and Rippling. Paylocity suits growing employers with a few hundred to a few thousand staff.
