Paylocity Recent Developments

In July 2020, Paylocity announced its new COVID-19 Return to Work offerings to help businesses and employees navigate the unprecedented complexity of re-opening and re-energizing the workforce. New tools within the Paylocity platform help clients implement a seamless recruiting and onboarding process as they seek new candidates or bring back furloughed employees. With the Recruiting and Onboarding modules, organizations can launch virtual rehire events by automatically changing the status of furloughed employees and inviting past employees to submit applications for rehire. Clients can also easily invite candidates to apply for specific jobs, aiding in expanding talent pools. To expedite the onboarding process for rehires, Paylocity rolled out geolocation enhancements to immediately validate state and local taxes based on employees' home and work addresses.

Companies are leveraging these features to help elevate the employee experience in the current competitive environment, where attracting and retaining talent has become paramount.

Paylocity released ACA Enhanced, a new compliance solution to help clients manage the reporting requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

In addition to its core payroll engine, Paylocity has layered on top of it an array of services like benefits administration as well as interfaces for third-party products for accounting, point of sale, bank communication, expense management, recruiting, background screening, and skills assessment in order to give customers full visibility into their financial management and human resources systems.

Paylocity Risks and Challenges

Paylocity is among a new crop of Cloud-based payroll service providers that have leapfrogged incumbents such as ADP and Ceridian by emphasizing its flexible, scalable, and easy-to-use software templates.

The next phase of growth will depend on Paylocity’s ability to redefine the payroll market with more customization capabilities as well as multi-country support through internal development efforts or partner contributions.

However, Paylocity appears to be reevaluating the role of its partners including resellers. A few years ago Paylocity terminated one of its two key resellers. It's not clear whether Paylocity plans to find a substitute or decide to streamline its channel program.

Paylocity Ecosystem, Partners, Resellers and SI

With 300+ integration partners across 20 product categories, Paylocity's open architecture allows users to streamline the management of payroll and human resources data across different business platforms.

Paylocity has also developed a referral network of third-party service providers, including 401(k) advisors, benefits administrators, insurance brokers, third-party administrators, and HR consultants, that recommend its solutions and provide referrals. Paylocity's referral network has become an increasingly important component of its sales process, earning 25% of its new client revenue originated by referrals from participants in the Paylocity referral network.

In November 2021, Fidelity Investments, the country’s largest 401(k) provider, and Paylocity unveiled that seamless access to payroll capabilities is now available with the Fidelity Advantage 401(k)SM pooled employer plan (PEP). This enhancement will reduce the administrative burden on small- and mid-sized businesses offering retirement plans for their employees and help workers start saving towards their retirement goals.

In October 2019, EvoShare, a micro-savings technology company, and Paylocity partnered to fully automate the process of finding additional savings account contributions with cash-back from employees’ everyday spending, with unprecedented ease-of-use and scalability for HR and Payroll teams. The same month in 2019, Compeat, a provider of innovative restaurant accounting, back office, workforce, and intelligence management software, partnered with Paylocity.
