Market Pay

Benchmark pay with trusted, more detailed market data 

Market Pay now uses SALARY.COM® as its data source, providing you with trusted, defensible pay insights directly within Paylocity. Access more granular and precise compensation data, including visibility into career level and years of experience along with more detailed segmentation by geography, industry, and company size.  Make faster, more confident pay decisions without file imports, syncing issues, or additional vendors to manage. 

Expense Management 

Automate spending and approvals

Automatically convert invoice units to match purchase orders to reduce manual work, prevent mismatches, and speed up bill processing with clearer, more accurate validation. 

Add attendees to credit card expense reports for group spend like team meals, client meetings, or events. This feature, also available on the mobile app, makes it easier to provide justification for larger expenses.

Human Resources

Simplify Person Record changes while staying compliant 

Manage person records more efficiently and support compliance by processing employee status changes directly in the Person Record to reduce clicks and save time.  Employees can also now designate emergency contacts authorized for arrest or detention situations – supporting California requirements. 

Time & Labor 

Reduce invalid punches at the source 

Punch eligibility in the time widget on Home provides clear, in-the-moment alerts and notifications that help employees avoid invalid punches — reducing rejections, saving time, and supporting labor compliance.

Recognition & Rewards

Build scalable rewards programs with clear controls 

Customize reward badges with preset reward amounts and permissions to support team-specific rewards programs — without added approvals or administrative delays. Managers can instantly recognize behaviors aligned with team goals, while preset reward values help employees understand expectations and give leaders confidence that rewards remain fair, consistent, and within budget across teams.  

Employee Voice

Customize engagement surveys

Add up to 10 company-specific questions to capture feedback unique to your organization in Engagement and Pulse surveys while keeping the validated questions intact for consistent measurement. Responses are grouped into a new Company Feedback section for trend analysis, heatmap views, and action planning. 

Mobile

Manage Scheduling on the go 

Easily manage your schedule with our enhanced Mobile Calendar, featuring clear day, week, and month views, smarter filtering, and company events. RSVP directly to events within the calendar and quickly see company moments like birthdays and anniversaries to stay connected on the go.
