Payroll
Meet new federal overtime reporting requirements with less manual work
New federal overtime reporting requirements create another year-end responsibility for employers. Paylocity helps simplify the process by tracking qualified overtime premiums throughout the year and reporting them in Box 12 of employees’ W-2s. With preconfigured earning codes and a new report for confirming amounts against paycheck calculations, employers can spend less time on manual work while giving employees the information they need for their overtime deduction.
Employee Voice
Gain clearer, more actionable insights with Employee Voice
Unlock deeper insights with updated engagement and pulse survey questions in Employee Voice. Enhanced questions help you better understand the experiences that drive employee engagement while continuing to measure the engagement factors you already trust. You can also easily share results with executive ready PowerPoint presentations, giving leaders a clear, professional view of engagement trends, key findings, and question level insights.
AP Automation
Pay Bills with Partial Payments and Multiple Payment Methods
AP teams can now apply multiple payments to a single bill, including partial payments made using different payment methods on different dates. Keeping payment activity in one place reduces off-platform workarounds and gives teams a clear view of what’s been paid and what’s still outstanding for simpler reconciliation and a smoother month-end close.
Connect Virtual Card Spend to Purchase Orders
Finance and procurement teams can now link virtual cards and their transactions to purchase orders, making it easier to compare committed and actual spend and understand where budgets stand. This connection simplifies reconciliation, strengthens spend controls, and keeps procurement, finance, and accounting teams working from the same information, with less time spent matching transactions by hand.
Guided Procurement
Align Purchase Approvals with Career Levels
Guided Procurement now supports career levels in the approval hierarchy, helping organizations route purchase approvals in a way that reflects how their teams are structured, ensuring the right leaders review the right requests to keep your procurement process moving.
Money Movement
Complete Business Verification with Self-Service KYC
A new self-service business verification (KYC) workflow makes it easier for organizations to complete the checks needed to get started with money movement. Instead of a manual back-and-forth process, administrators can work through verification in a guided workflow, while risk, compliance and implementation teams manage the full KYC lifecycle in one central place, resulting in a faster, less manual onboarding experience.
