This is a good time and pay app. It has worked properly (including the location service) of every platform I’ve used it on. The app is well organized and easy to read. It crashes very, very rarely. The one major missing feature is to be able to track hours by pay period, which for my employer is based on the calendar month; this app calculates hours by the week. So, you have to track your hours separately, which is a nuisance.
Extremely easy to use and if there is something you need to dispute your boss/supervisor has immediate access they can go in and change or help you if you made a mistake. I had to edit my review after about 2 months of using the app because of time input and constantly having to type it in 2 or 3 times. When i try to submit it, it wont load in to my timesheet and i have to re-do it all over again 1 or 2 more times! Other than that issue, ive had no other problems and still like like this APP!
I think Paylocity has been an extremely useful app. It is nice to have a secure login verification when accessing sensitive personal information and I have found the menu to be very simple to navigate considering the funtionality it offers if you fully utilize it. For those who have had bad experiences, try closing the app and login again, or choose to stay logged in, because I think it times out after inactivity too long, the same way a banking app would for example.
Accessibility needs some work. I work with a lot of employees that have vision loss, and we are finding that the app is very difficult to see because of the very low contrast. It is also really menu-driven, and buttons don’t always show up where you think they would. For example, the submit button in clocking in is up in the top right corner unlike the web, and as soon as you punch in, instead of just returning to the clock it goes to a different screen and then you have to manually go back.
