Paylocity Expands Leadership in Spring 2026 G2 Grid Reports, Named #1 Leader for Healthcare HR
March 17, 2026
Paylocity, a leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions, continues to be recognized as a leader in the industry. The Spring 2026 G2 Grid Reports name Paylocity as a leader in 21 categories — its largest leadership footprint to date — including the #1 provider for Healthcare HR software across all market segments.
These results, driven entirely by verified customer feedback, reflect Paylocity's focus on building a platform that HR, Finance, and IT teams rely on. High satisfaction scores across ease of use, administration, and likelihood to recommend underscore the Paylocity difference for our clients.
Leadership Across 21 Categories
The G2 Grid Reports are among the most trusted resources in B2B software evaluation, ranking solutions based on real customer satisfaction data and market presence. In the Spring 2026 reports, Paylocity expanded its leadership to 21 categories — a milestone that reflects years of co-creating solutions with clients and a continuous commitment to innovation across HR, Finance, and IT.
Paylocity retains leadership rankings in Core HR, Payroll, and HCM software, while extending its reach with top placements in Expense Management, Enterprise Payments, and Time & Expense. Paylocity also earned the #1 position for Healthcare HR software — a recognition that speaks directly to the platform's ability to meet the healthcare industry’s complex, compliance-heavy workforce challenges and demands.
Verified G2 users continue to highlight what makes Paylocity stand out day today. “I really appreciate the support feature through our assigned account rep, which was super helpful during our transition back to Paylocity,” said G2 reviewer Jessica Upchurch. “They made sure everything lined up smoothly, preventing any user frustration.”
Trusted by Healthcare — and Proven to Deliver
Earning the top spot in Healthcare HR services is a distinction earned through real results with real clients. Healthcare organizations face a unique set of pressures: high turnover, complex compliance requirements, skills shortages, and the constant need to do more with less.
University Clinical Health, an independent not-for-profit healthcare network affiliated with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, has relied on Paylocity for over eight years. Jasmyne Peters, Senior HRIS & Payroll Manager, describes the impact: "Paylocity gives us a real one-stop shop for everything from payroll and talent acquisition to reporting and compensation. We benefit from a best-in-class solution with advanced capabilities, a user-friendly mobile app, and constant innovation with new products and functionality."
ONE Platform for HR, Finance, and IT
Paylocity's all-in-one platform unifies processes across HR, Finance, and IT, enabling organizations to automate workflows, enhance collaboration, and make data-driven decisions. Anchored to a single employee record, policies, limits, and approval workflows stay in lockstep as people join, move, and grow across the organization. The platform supports the entire employee lifecycle while offering shared data and advanced analytics to drive smarter business outcomes.
Paylocity has embedded AI across multiple functions — including automated screening, workflow optimization, and predictive workforce insights. Continuous innovation, including AI-powered tools, enhanced mobile capabilities, expanded analytics dashboards, and simplified compliance features, ensures Paylocity stays ahead of the evolving needs of its clients.
“Paylocity is always innovating,” said Lisa Behrendt, Vice President of HR at Matrix Technologies. “The rollout of new functionality and upgrades is much more frequent than the other HR vendors that we considered and helps to keep us agile.”
