Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I am very pleased with the ability to either manually enter timesheet hours or ask employees to clock in and out. Having all employee data in one place is an excellent resources, and I look forward to utilizing the benefits management portion of the platform to further streamline our onboarding process. Creating custom reports that can aggregate the needed data in one spreadsheet in minutes is also a feature I use regularly for many different HR tasks. GoCo has a sleek, easy to use interface. We get compliments often about how easy and straightforward GoCo has made the onboarding process, which makes a great first impression on new employees who are just joining our agency! It also has vastly cut down on the administrative burden of scanning and filing paperwork into employee personnel files. I like that all our on boarding processes are digital, organized, and user friendly. I really like how easy it is to start my hiring process. GoCo, an easy to use HRIS system, has allowed our employees to have a seamless onboard experience. So many previously antiquated tasks are now easy to accomplish. The interface is user friendly. Customer service is incredible. Always making improvements - I feel like my suggestions/feedback are heard. Cons The time off scheduling is difficult to manage with prorated part-time employees, as we have to create a new time off classification for each amount, whether they work 20 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, or so on. We have a lot of part time personnel and this has made using the time off feature both time consuming and frustrating. Inability to edit benefit information as it changes (we switched dental plans mid-year and could not input this from the employer side at all), and also inability to find our carriers in the system, has made implementing benefits administration difficult. It is a little high priced for our non-profit budget. Some of the forms are not complete are can't be signed. Like the background check authorization. There is no field for my employees to sign. It's also a little clunky for the I-9 verification process. For instance, when the employees provide their social security card and ID in one area, I have to download and upload myself. The system is not aware that the documents have already been provided? As an HR admin, there is a lot to learn. Integration with payroll has been challenging, based on how we need to track employee hours for invoicing and billing, but this may be an anomaly of our company. There are a few things that don't integrate well with other products.		Pros from Real Users Pros The mobile app is simple and intuitive tool that is very easy to navigate and find exactly what you need. The ability to use thumbprint for identity verification is a big plus as most large company apps are using the same approach. Their customer service is absolutely fantastic. It's easy to get help from them, and you can usually get someone on the phone in about a minute or less. They have many great features of their products, and they are constantly pushing to be the best product. Helpful in the sense that a lot of information is right at your fingertips. It is great when managing a large company and their employees demographic and information. I love how easy it is to clock in and out and keep track of my hours with the time sheet feature. It also has an app. Paylocity helps in engagement benefits payroll human resources workforce management. Provides compliance updates. Easily manage payroll and HR. Navigation is quite simple.
