June 15, 2026

In May, Paylocity released features that are all about making your day a little easier. From smarter scheduling templates to expanding AI-driven data insights, plus smoother accounting integrations and more flexible video captions, these enhancements help you optimize your work and stay on top of what matters most. 

Time and Labor 

Plan ahead with confidence and visibility into schedule coverage 

Simplify workforce planning with enhanced scheduling templates, empowering you to create employee-assigned or open shift templates and apply them across any schedule. By generating open shifts directly from templates, you save time and reduce manual work. As schedules are generated, hours and dollar totals update automatically, giving you immediate visibility into labor costs and coverage. With the ability to draft templates in advance, you can build, refine, and publish schedules with greater consistency and control.  

Data Insights

Turn workforce data into quick, actionable insights 

Accelerate decision-making with AI-driven dashboard summaries in Data Insights that transform complex data into easy-to-understand insights. With AI summarization, you can instantly interpret key trends, spot outliers, and identify areas that need attention without manually digging into the data. Generate or refresh summaries on demand within your dashboards, making it simple to understand and share real-time, meaningful insights. Built-in guardrails ensure transparency by notifying you when summaries can’t be created due to data limitations, helping you streamline reporting and improving overall efficiency. 

General Ledger

Simplify your accounting process 

Connect Paylocity with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to automatically sync your general ledger data in real time and gain greater control over data. Seamlessly validate and manage both inbound and outbound mappings without relying on custom reports or specialized support and proactively generate and review journal entries that meet system requirements to improve accuracy and efficiency. Plus, the option to download a formatted import file provides a reliable backup for added flexibility. 

Video

Create more inclusive, accessible video content 

Gain greater control and flexibility over your video content and increase engagement with our enhanced video captions experience. Edit machine-generated captions, upload multilingual caption files, and easily switch between machine generated and uploaded captions for easy management. Caption options are easily accessible during playback, and real-time preview lets you refine captions instantly. Together, these enhancements make your videos more inclusive, easier to understand, and ready to reach a broader, global audience.
