News

February 10, 2026

With new updates designed to support compliance, efficiency, and flexibility across the employee lifecycle, this month’s Paylocity releases bring meaningful improvements for teams managing work in and out of the platform.

From 400+ accredited healthcare-specific trainings delivered directly in Paylocity to an enhanced background check experience across Recruiting and HR & Payroll, we’re introducing updates that help you stay compliant, move faster, and keep everything in one seamless workflow. Plus, new bulk editing in expense reports and mobile access to Resources make everyday tasks easier—wherever work happens.

Learning

Streamline training, foster compliance, and deliver high-quality care

With Paylocity's Healthcare Training Bundle, you can assign and track training in one place, supporting compliance efforts directly within Paylocity’s LMS — with no extra logins or contracts. Provide your staff with over 400 accredited, state-specific and federal compliance courses to deliver high-quality care and services.

Automate training assignments, recurring schedules, and record access — saving hours of admin time.
Foster compliance with fast, automatic content updates as regulations evolve.
Skip managing multiple contracts and renewals. Everything from billing to support is managed entirely within Paylocity.

Marketplace

Align background checks to your business structure

Paylocity is enhancing its background check experience so screenings can be tied to specific areas of the business—such as locations, divisions, or roles—bringing more clarity to the screening process. This update gives customers more control and visibility when ordering background checks. Whether you already use an integrated background check provider or are just getting started, you can configure business areas with your provider or enable one through the Marketplace.

Paylocity for Finance

Edit expense items faster in Expense Management

Bulk edit in expense reports is here! Users can now select multiple expense items and update fields like category, tags, and more—all at once. That means fewer repetitive edits and faster expense report cleanup.

It’s one more way Paylocity Expense Management continues to evolve, helping organizations manage employee spend directly within the Paylocity platform.

Mobile App

Access company resources anytime in the Paylocity mobile app

Resources are now available in the Paylocity mobile app, making it easier for employees to access your company’s important documents and links wherever they are. Users can quickly browse content by category and preview PDFs and other files directly within the app.

This update supports Paylocity’s mobile-first approach, ensuring employees who rely on their phone have a faster, more intuitive way to find the information they need.
