What’s New Blog | August 2026
This month’s releases spotlight what’s next for a more connected employee experience — including the introduction of Paylocity Retirement and meaningful enhancements that make benefits, expenses, purchasing, and everyday scheduling easier to manage in one place.
Benefits
Connect payroll and retirement in one employee experience
Retirement planning should feel connected to the rest of the employee experience. Paylocity Retirement gives employees access to key retirement details directly within Paylocity, while helping employers bring payroll and retirement together in one streamlined solution. By reducing fragmented workflows, organizations can offer a unified experience for managing an important part of employees’ financial well-being.
Take the friction out of benefits renewals
Benefits renewals often require coordination across clients, brokers, and support teams. An optimized guided setup experience brings the renewal process into Paylocity so clients and brokers can prepare and renew plans without the back-and-forth. The in-platform workflow creates a clearer, self-service path for getting ready for the upcoming enrollment period.
Home
See shifts, time off, and company events at a glance
Employees can find company dates and schedule information all in one place. The calendar widget in Home brings together scheduled shifts, time off, company events, and anniversaries in a consolidated view.

Make expense reporting faster with connected cards and smarter categorization
Expense reporting is easier when transactions, receipts, and coding work together. Employees can connect a personal credit card to import eligible transactions and match receipts while creating expense reports. For physical card activity, configured rules or AI assistance can help categorize transactions, reducing repetitive data entry and supporting more consistent expense information for employees and finance teams.
Simplify purchase requests from approval to management
An updated purchase request approvals experience gives teams clarity and control over purchasing workflows. With an intuitive setup and streamlined request list, users can quickly identify what needs attention and keep approvals moving.
