Unify HR, Finance, and IT in one platform to drive results—faster, smarter, and with complete control. With Headcount Planning, Asset Management, and our newest HCM features, efficiency and oversight are at your fingertips.
Headcount Planning
Plan, approve, and hire without headaches
Ditch scattered spreadsheets and endless threads. Paylocity's Headcount Planning tool brings Finance, HR, and Recruiting teams together to plan smarter and faster. Approvals and notifications run on autopilot, data stays secure, and Recruiting can open roles the moment they’re greenlit—no delays, no confusion.
Asset Management
Manage all employees’ hardware needs within Paylocity
Bridge the HR and IT divide with a centralized solution to track, automate, and restock employee assets. Anticipate tech needs, cut last-minute requests, and ensure every new hire is equipped from day one. Let employees choose their hardware during onboarding, with fulfillment built for remote, hybrid, and on-site teams—all backed by an integrated Asset Store.
Recruiting
Accelerate screening and hiring with greater efficiency
Keep candidates engaged and informed with mass texting. Save time by scheduling job postings and taking bulk actions — reassigning managers and updating workflows— in a few clicks. Accelerate screening with one-way video interviews that eliminate bottlenecks and expand your reach. And close hires faster by creating customizable offer letters using placeholders and ready-to-send email templates—without ever leaving Recruiting.
Recognition & Rewards
Take your rewards to the next level with greater automation and flexibility
With peer-to-peer rewards, empower all employees, even non-managers, to reward their peers, making their recognition even more impactful, while admins maintain full oversight and control over budgets. Sweeten milestone celebrations with Reward Bucks added to automated birthdays and anniversaries. Turn your rewards into real impact by selecting Charity-On-Top from the Rewards Catalog, just like any other gift card.
Documents
Create fillable forms with one click
Stop wasting time manually setting up form fields, like tax forms and policy agreements. AI-powered auto-mapping intelligently detects where fields —whether text, dates, or signatures — belong on the form and sizes and positions them. The result? Faster form setup, fewer errors, and more time for what really matters.
Workflows
Keep work flowing with minimized admin burden
Assign workflows to multiple employees or job positions so tasks don’t stall waiting on one person—any available assignee can keep things moving. With role-based permissions, cut down on reassignments, finish work faster, and give teams exactly the access they need. Workflow permissions keep admins in control of who can view or initiate specific workflows, reducing admin burden while boosting efficiency.
Benefits
Simplify enrollment with voluntary plans in Benefits Decision Support
Benefits Decision Support provides employees with clear, personalized enrollment guidance—simplifying choices, reducing questions, and improving participation. In addition to medical, HSA, and FSA, it now covers voluntary hospital, accident, and critical illness plans.
