An issue with the “Announcements” option on the home page.

Once I’ve selected the recent announcements (from the home page) and I’m done reading them I can no longer select that “Announcements” option any further. I cannot view them again. I should be able to review them anytime by selecting “Announcements.” Instead it says, “All caught up.” This creates a problem when my memory may fail to remember exactly what that announcement said, such as a time or a date. I’ve looked around and cannot find anywhere the option to review them. Why is it they are not still available. This is VERY USER UNFRIENDLY. Please update the app to apply a continually availability option to review recent and all “announcements.” Thank you.

Has Good Functionality, User Interface Has Some Serious Drawbacks

I realize that I am an old school User Interface critic - that’s because it was my job as a Business Systems Analyst to try to give my users the best experience back in the day when companies wrote their own systems. What prompted this review was the fact that I opened the app today and was presented with a complete login screen. Which wouldn’t be remarkable except for the fact that this happened two days after I ‘opted in’ to the screen that said I would stay logged in for 3 months unless I accessed sensitive information. Which I did not. And the fact that this was at least the third time it happened in the past two months. OK, that’s hideously annoying thing number one, because you don’t access this app for fun but to clock in and start getting paid. But, even more annoying is the fact that the ‘“Submit” button for the “Punch” function is at the bottom of the screen, which, on an iPhone 12, is where you swipe up to close the App. The “Submit” button on the “Punch” screen often gets ‘pressed’ inadvertently when you just want to close the App , leaving you clocked in or out by accident. Why not put the “Submiit” button at the top of the screen, safely out of harm’s way? Also, it’s hard to imagine that there is no functionality to export schedules to external calendars! Fixing these things would greatly enhance the user experience. Thanks.

Latest update caused a bug - 6/12 update

* added this 6/12 - apparently this company does not read the reviews because they have no way to submit technical bug problems in their app. It’s still has problems on iOS when trying to submit to clock in as they submit is grayed out but it’s actually a valid button if you want to call it that. Several of us are all experiencing the same problems the last few days when you try to look at the schedule it will show nothing, or it will take you to a month prior and you have to scroll until today, or it will show your today’s only and nothing else for the week or it will show you no one else that’s working at the same time. Having to close and open and refresh over and over to try to get any data is truly frustrating. What’s even worse is the fact that there is absolutely no way to submit anything to this company when their app isn’t working correctly. I even went to APP support but it just takes you to the companies homepage and if you go to contact they won’t discuss issues with their software with users of it. So here I am leaving a review about a bug because they don’t give you any other way to do it. After the last update when you go to punch in or clock in or out or any status the submit option stays grayed out but ho ho ho! it’s actually valid you just have to click on it anyways. Normally the submit option in the upper right corner stays grayed out until the GPS has located you. Have a nice day.

Paylocity needs a desktop timeclock app.

I downgraded my rating since the developers are complacent and haven’t changed anything in five years. Paylocity is likely bilking America’s working class millions of lost minutes due to superfluous security questions and offline issues preventing instant login. The solution would be a timeclock-only desktop app for Mac and Windows, which could stay open all day without access to personal info. I used to keep the website open on my computer so I could easily clock in or out, because logging in each time is such a multi-step hassle. It times-out for security reasons, so this doesn't always work. Leaving the page open is a risk because if you're away anyone can then browse and see things like your pay rate and other personal information. For whatever reason, my employer has chosen to disable the timeclock feature on the mobile app, thus defeating the only useful feature of the app. This option shouldn't be available to employers. Paylocity needs to make improvements before another provider beats them at their own game. Again, a desktop app that's timeclock-only would solve a lot of problems. The manual punch is also ill-conceived. If you forget to clock in, or a bug prevents it, you have to punch whatever time it is and type a note with the correct time so your manager can be inconvenienced with fixing it. Would make more sense to honor the employee's entered time and flag the actual time as a missed punch.

Current Version has Extreme issues

I was hesitant to write a review at first after returning to my previous workplace, which uses this app for clocking in and out, time cards and more. However, after about 2 weeks my workplace has still not been able to resolve the issue where time punch is locked for me and within the past week I started having a new issue where I can't even submit both clock in and clock out for correction to my supervisors using the system. And on top of that, I tried deleting and redownloading the app after rebooting my phone twice just to attempt to fix the issue and the forgot password feature is not working correctly. I submitted a request to change my password several times and out of the probably at least 12 times I attempted, I only received 1 message and the one time password it gave did not work. Please get on this ASAP paylocity team, I don't know what the problem is but these are all recent issues. FYI my workplace has already reactivated me as a current employee on your system so I believe I should be able to punch in and out at least.

Room for improvement

The app used by my previous employer gave employees who had forgotten to clock in/out the ability to go back and fix it in the app. The event was still flagged in the system, so at the time of processing payroll management still had the ability to deny the change and question the discrepancy. I work in a veterinary hospital, when you get called back early due to an emergency (which can happen at any time) often people don’t remember to clock in from lunch. When this happens is an inconvenient system of leaving the manager a note with the correct information for them to manually go in and facilitate the fix. If this were possible within the app it would make everything more streamlined. Also, employee performance reviews would be a good option, both with management and as a anonymous peer review. If they are going to do it all, Paylocity could also add a scheduling feature to show work schedules/ shifts/ assignments for your place of employment. Everything together in one easy access app.

Works well within its functionality

4 stars for a really solid app in terms of reliability and user interface The average employee will likely find this app useful in terms of clocking in and out. I’m sure managers find other features much more handy, but most of the time, you won’t ever find yourself having to access the rest of the app at all. Considering that fact, the development team could add some features that would likely increase adoption and improve user experience. Please consider these enhancements: ** Create a Home Screen widget or Siri command ** A widget for clocking in and out would be so useful. If your app’s primary function is to quickly do one task, there’s no reason that function shouldn’t be turned into a widget. Even better if it could be voice activated: “Hey Siri, clock out for lunch on Paylocity” ** Add custom scheduling and notifications ** My employer does not give me a set schedule. It would be nice if the employee could input their own schedule (for purely personal purposes). This could be the basis for adding notifications to remind you when it’s time to punch in or out (based on your custom schedule, or your employer-defined one). Tapping the notification could take you straight to the punch in screen or punch widget. It’s easy to lose track of time when working, and having to manually set alarms is annoying and easy to forget. Overall nice work. It’s tough to build a reliable, feature-rich application but your devs did a nice job.

Very handy!

The Paylocity app is very handy and user friendly. As an HR professional using Paylocity for pretty much anything and everything involving our company and employees, I’m impressed with all of the neat features it offers. Our employees typically say they prefer using the mobile app over the web browser! As administrators within the Paylocity system, we do call support for assistance when needed and it’s quick and easy to get in touch with a representative, however nearly impossible to get through to our designated account manager, which defeats the purpose of having one in my opinion. There have been occasions where we would call for support and the representative was not knowledgeable and would just refer to the Knowledge Base articles on the site, which I can do myself, usually leaving us with an unsatisfactory answer forcing us to call back and hope to reach someone more knowledgeable about the system. Paylocity representatives should also be thoroughly trained in compliance and legal topics, such as tax and garnishment procedures, and especially E-Verify. All in all, Paylocity is great and consistently improving to meet our evolving demands and the mobile app is an essential tool for all users. I would recommend this company/software to any business who wants a simple program that provides many great essential and bonus features to their employees and administrators.

Has all the pieces, fails to put them together

This app is ok at best. On average it is consistently frustrating to navigate and use. -Constantly requires an updated password. -Lies about password availability (says it can’t be the same as the last 4, but won’t allow any password so long as it has been used by the user.) -Requires said password to access any sections of the app that a person would be using the app for (looking at weekly pay, W-2 forms, completing training assigned by the company, etc.), magnifying the above problem. -Limited or no access to information or sections that ARE available on the browser version. This leads to constant issues where the company will think the employee has access to certain information, where the employee doesn’t even know it exists. -No ability to change account information beyond name and address without a prompt from the app. -No way to remove the glaring notifications in app without dealing with the attached issue, regardless of significance of the issue. (Some of us don’t care to participate in every company competition for best field picture, and that’s ok, so let us get turn off the alert) -Just to list a few issues I’ve encountered. It has all the functions, but using them or getting to them is just consistently frustrating. If it works but it’s finicky, it doesn’t work. Certainly not a 1 star app, but it could be fantastic if it wasn’t artificially frustrating.

Always needs a password change

This app’s security is so bad that it always wants me to change my password. I save the password every time in my password manager and every time I go to sign in with my password it always says credentials are wrong. I know it’s not. Their security is so bad that it forces users to change the password multiple times a year and on top of that forgets it because I can never sign in. I always have to go to an admin to have the account reset in order to create a password AGAIN never seen a site with such terrible security that the only way to keep peoples stuff secure is to force them to change the password multiple times. They really need to get better encryption because there is no way anyone can guess a random password of letters and numbers and symbols. Users shouldn’t have to do anymore than make a long hard to guess password and nothing more. Any more effort out of users means the site has crappy encryption and they need its users to change the password because someone can easily get everyone’s login info.

For managing my team this app is lame

Yeah, app is awesome that i can clock in and out anywhere with my phone. But... other than that what i need it for it is useless. If i have a coworker call out on a day i don’t work, i can’t view to see the schedule. We also have many departments that I have staff that could switch over to help, but app only shows my dept. So i have to login through website and hassle with the login. A WASTE OF MY TIME ON MY DAY OFF. Also, if i need to go to the website because app won’t show me what i need, what is the first thing that pops up? My Pay!? If i am sitting at a computer logging in through this ‘super protective portal’ and then shows everyone my private info... that seems inappropriate. Maybe just a home screen would be better. If i could make changes they would be 1. Make it so on the app if I’m not working i can still see who all is working 2. Be able to customize who i would like to see ‘i am working with’ (across all depts) 3. When logging into website, NOT having my pay large and in the middle of the screen for all to see. 4. Once your biometrics have been used... STOP having me resign in. Your ‘register as a private device/computer’ doesn’t work either! Streamlining is needed! Too many tabs and sub folders! Easy to get lost and not user friendly! I do like that i can manage my hours and email HR as soon as I realize i forgot to clock in or out. But again, that doesn’t help me with my day to day job!

It's alright, could use some improvements

I've only been using it a few months, but there are some things I encounter that are irritating, here's a few: The app could use a dashboard or home screen with useful info and shortcuts. Currently, when opening the app you're shown the plain menu. It would be nice to see a screen with relevant info like your current timesheet/hours, your last paycheck amount, etc., as well as shortcuts for your most-used items like clocking in/out. Why do I constantly get logged out? Even after enabling TouchID it still logs me out every other time I open the app. If a user's own biometrics aren't a secure enough method of logging in, then why even offer the option? It's frustrating to make a user keep entering their password. When you do have to log in, it's nice that the app uses the OS's password manager integration. However, it doesn't work correctly. When attempting to use my phone's password manager, the app searches for a credentials for "localhost" instead of Paylocity. So then you have to erase that text and type in "Paylocity", which is super tedious. Combined with the above issue, it creates a very frustrating login experience before you even can use the app. Please add support for Siri shortcuts. It would be incredibly useful to say "Hey Siri, please clock me in", or "submit my timesheet" or whatever like you can do with many other apps at the moment.

Inconsistent Direct Deposit Submissions

My only complaint and which ultimately the most important is how this company releases funds to the bank(s) for direct deposits. Most people don’t do conventional old school banking anymore and many banking institutions now release funds immediately after going to the federal reserve. Many people never paid 2 days sooner than their “pay day”. With that said, for some odd reason Paylocity will send funds one pay period on a Monday, another on a Tuesday and the other Wednesday evening. I don’t get it! If my payroll sends you our timesheets on Monday morning, those deposits should be released to the bank no later than Monday evening or early Tuesday morning. Is it that difficult to push a button? All I wish is you to release funds consistently. And also people should not have to wait until Friday to see their pay check stubs, once the payroll is processed the stubs should be immediately available for review. Please do better Paylocity!

They refuse to fix security issues

Since 2018 I’ve been reporting a security issue to Paylocity support which they refuse to address. When you invoke the app switcher, sensitive/personal continues to be display rather then being masked for blurred out. Even days later! The time out doesn’t work until you open the app again. This is a standard feature of every app that involves finances and personal information. Paylocity still won’t implement this simple feature. Also this app still relies on security questions like mother’s maiden name which have been proven to offer no additional security. Finally, there is an option in the app to enable MFA (multi factor authentication) but this check box does nothing. When contacting support, they refer me to my companies HR team‽ Oh course no one in my company can fix a third party app. Even our CISO has been involved and nope, Paylocity does nothing. It amazes me year after year these security issues continue to get ignored.

Its ok...

You can't use on boarding on the app, company set users cannot use the app for their CS log in. As an employee it's great with viewing pay and time off but you can't see everything that's available in the self service portal and the sections on the left are confusing because links you see in the SS portal for example under "pay" would go to Company links not under Pay which is confusing. I love the pie charts that shows your check breakdown you can see everything that has to do with your check and pay which is great. My other complaint is that it's not user friendly to download actual pay stubs; you have to email it yourself and the email but is just a little mail icon. I wish the checks you could click on like the SS portal and see the stub. It seems like they are working on a lot of upgrades so I hold out hope for them.

Works well as a employee but not as a manager

Update; I see that they are now finally saying that these will be added features with editing time cards and fixing punches but the main issue that will still be around is if I need to approve time cards for previous days during the shift it will not allow me to do so because if we are currently on shift there is a open punch thats making it error out. I tried reaching out to support but basically was emailed back that since I am not high enough up in my company I will not receive a response? They will only hear from someone in our operations department that they have contact with I guess… I wanted to reach out and explain that there are many shortcomings and some bugs when trying to use this app for administrative needs that I can only do via the web portal which is very inconvenient when im out of the office and need to make some changes.

Easy to use and everything works

I use this app to check my paystub, put in time off requests, check my HSA/FSA balances, and take trainings. My favorite is the expense report feature where I can easily enter each expense on my phone as I make the transaction on my business trips. Easy to use and I submit as soon as I get home without having to sort it all out the next few days after the trip. On Demand Pay for early access to my paycheck works well. I’ve used it successfully multiple times. I also respond to Community posts frequently and the new Mark All as Read feature for alerts is perfect for those who like to have a clean to-do list!

Overall

This is a very convenient app but has a couple time consuming issues in my experience The punch system Very easy but not always reliable In my case I have to take a photo while punching in and out The issue I’m having which creates extra work for managers and myself, the punch will go through as successful exit the app come back later to find the punch is missing What I think is happening, the gps check reads good so the punch is successful, what you can’t see is the progress of the photo being uploaded in the background so if you quickly close the app after making a punch it has a high chance of not actually reaching the server. I hope some update will either show us a progress bar or make us wait until it actually goes through to tell us the punch was successful Another thing on iPhone at least The training courses, tends to forget what you did for the past 45 mins, and since in my case it’s required by the company, it took 4 hours to submit a 45min training course after having to redo it 10 times it seems to lose all the information after clicking on what did I miss. The progress bars will fall back to 0 after completing a missed page for something as simple as a photo you did not click on.

Excellent and stable employee friendly app

I’ve had to utilize a few different Apps for employee self-service and engagement in my time. Paylocity’s is by far the most user friendly and stable. Always available and very easy to find whatever it is I’m logging in for. The Community feature is awesome, my company uses it to keep us up to date on everything happening in the organization, celebrate successes, etc. I’ve used other company’s (UKG, Kronos) that seem to crash too often and it takes forever to punch in because of the crashes. Paylocity’s has never done that. It is always available and I’ve never been “kicked out” due to a glitch.

Too secure! Otherwise nice

Gotta love this. Beats punching a clock. I'm a retired SaaS infosec person working a part-time YMCA job. This app makes it super easy to submit time sheets. There's big room for improvement in the session management subsystem. Here's the use case. I'm signing in to work as I enter my workplace. I'm also fumbling with a key, opening a door, and schlepping my stuff. I open the app and hit the orange Clock In button. Then the app prompts me for my password. Not every day but only unpredictably. Gaaah! Password! did I remember to save it last time? What is it? Try something. Doesn't work. Then I think, to heck with it I'll email my supervisor and skip Clock In You don't have to expire your sessions this way! You can renew the session every time I use the app, for a preset number of days. And you won't compromise security. On the mobile side the session token is in the secure enclave either way. So I don't have to sign in again except maybe after a vacation. Because refreshing my creds at Clock In time is a big nuisance. Please consider this suggestion.

Efficient enough and inspiring!

Thank you team for all that you do to help us keep up tracking our schedule, timesheet, clock-in-out, awards and lot more! After using the mobile app for more than 3 years now, I would like to bring some minor modifications that you may further research to check the possibilities of bringing them into implementation! 1. Schedule: Can you add an option for the employee to pre-add their own timings into Paylocity, instead of looking into their own calendars! 2. Tasks: Can you add a new option for the supervisor to be able to add new tasks routinely (everyday with a checklist option for the employee to mark complete and later notify the supervisor) and special or urgent tasks labeled ASAP! With additional notes dialogue box! 3. Inventory: Adding an inventory option can help keep track on the office or work related items and mark them up immediately for purchase or supply request! Making the application holistic in nature can bring in more traffic, which I felt to share with you according to my personal experience. With regards Avi

New Version First Impressions

I don’t like change. To walk in and my time clock doesn’t work and I have to go to the app but then it takes forever for the app to load. Why? Because someone decided they are not getting enough engagement and we have to move the social networking aspect of this tool to the front of the gui. I can’t wait until my hammer requires I give my boss a positive review before I can start driving nails. A good tool is one that does only what it needs to and does it well. There may be good features for this app but I’ll never know because I’ll never use them. Not the sign of the right tool for the job. Hopefully some CEOs at least get another yacht out of making my life more irritating. Now they can show shareholders how they did something to justify getting paid 1000X a frontline employee.

Needs a calendar subscription

Great app. It’s extremely organized and I find many of the features really handy and useful. I’m glad we’ve made the switch to this system. However, I use the calendar on my phone to stay organized as do many other of my coworkers. One thing that Paylocity does not have that our old system did is a calendar subscription. With this feature, it automatically inserts an up-to-date schedule into your calendar app and sets it as an appointment. This is extremely useful as I am a busy student and have my class schedule, assignment schedule, and study schedule in my calendar app. Having to open the Paylocity app multiple times a day to review my schedule is a hassle. Please add a calendar subscription as it would be extremely helpful to myself and my other employees.

Love This App!

I’m in the app every day. I use it to view my paystub’s, request time off, see journal entries from my director in video messages, take trainings, updates from my company on our community page, view my HSA and FSA balance and file claims, and enroll in my benefits. It is so easy to have everything in one place. I just refinanced my home and was able to email my paystubs and W-2s with a secure password to my mortgage broker. I can’t say enough good things about this app. It has really been beneficial during Covid and getting updates from my company. I am a remote employee so I don’t go into an office every day and this helps me feel connected to my colleagues.

Oh My Goodness, Bugs

Not sure if it’s the new iOS or just my almost 2 year old phone but I’ve never had a problem punching into and out of my shifts with with this app until around September of this year when it would require me to fully sign in EVERY TIME I OPEN THE APP. Not only does it take me around 2-3 minutes to sign in each time but it literally asks if I want to stay signed in for up to 3 months… and then does the same exact thing the very next time I open the app. I’ve updated, deleted/redownloaded, changed all my app settings and nothing seems to work. I’ve even contacted Paylocity multiple times about this matter and get the same beat-around the bush response so for now I just use the Paylocity browser on my work computer. Wish they would fix whatever bug/issues I’m having with this app!!!

Wish I could respond to negative reviews

Most people complaining about these topics don’t realize they are company settings that their employer sets up in paylocity’s system, not a limitation of software. punch in/out issues, no access to mobile punching (company setting), incorrect PTO balances (company setting), took out too much child support (company set up), have to log back in after too much time away from app (standard security setting). The list goes on and on. Some people just don’t know the bigger picture. Otherwise it’s spam from Paycom reps. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Very convenient

It’s nice to have this app available. Before installing this I was taking scans of each paycheck/paystub and adding it to my files folder on my iPhone (which I still do though redundant). But with this app I can easily look back and see my previous checks and the breakdowns of each including overtime, holiday pay and even what paid time off I’ve acquired. The fact that I can also pull up my w-2 makes it that much better. This is a very good app and if your employer uses this system you should definitely download and use it.

From an employee

March of 2020 I was offered a new job. In the interview i asked many questions about how easy of access i wound have to certain information as an employee. Including hours, time off, vacation, msa, insurance and more. I was shown this app as my answer and was mighty impressed. Now the app didn’t sell me the job but it sold me the company that was looming to hire me. This kind of organization and easy information access for us employees goes a long way. I love this app and what Paylocity does for us. Thank you. Proud employee of oilfield steel supply and user of Paylocity app

Worst app I’ve ever used

Location based punch ins just don’t work. App is slow, lags, glitches. If you clock in, work anything more than I think 7 hours then the app just thinks no possible way you could have worked that long and defaults your next punch to a punch in instead of realizing you’re still clocked in and probably want to clock out. And I can only stress how bad their location based punches are. Takes me five minutes to clock in every day walking around my whole store while the app flickers around and tells me I’m in an unauthorized location. You just have to keep walking around until the app decides it’s done toying with you. To anyone running a business, do not get this app your employees will hate it. Get PayCom instead it’s what we used to use and it’s much better.

Good app, very glitchy

Has a lot of great features and the design is clean and straightforward. However there are lots of issues. I keep getting logged out despite always selecting the option to stay logged in for months at a time. This happens 4 or 5 times a week, often multiple times a day. My app is up to date. I also am sent back to early February every time I open the schedule inside the app, despite it being mid-April now. The hamburger menu icon also disappears frequently and I have to restart the app to get it to return, which often logs me out. If these issues were fixed I’d give 5 stars.

After so many updates....annoying pop-up remains

Everytime I open the app, a smug little window appears that says, “You do not have the rights to view this page. Please log back in and try again.” What page are you even talking about...? I just opened the app, have not gone anywhere on it...also, I am always loggen in, but it wants me to log out...yet, when I click the button to make the smug window go away, it takes me to the menu screen, not to a log out screen, and I remain logged in......can you fix this?? Maybe...?? And, in latest and greatest update, when I want to see my timesheet, it now takes you to LAST weeks’ timesheet, not the current one, which is what it used to do, and what I want it to do. Can you fix that...? Maybe...? No...? I will be watching you.

Major bug that will never be fixed

This app is absolutely terrible. never have i experienced such a miserable helpless time while using an app! There’s multiple bugs that cause this app to constantly crash forcing you to have to continuously delete the app and reinstall it in order to correct the issue but only for a limited time until you need to repeat the process. Taking a simple photo will crash the app, or saving something will cause it to get stuck during the save process, or if you switch to a different app and then back to the paylocity app it will cause the photo preview to not display the correct image you just took with the camera, all resulting to have to delete the app and reinstall it. such an awful user experience. A cruel sick joke of an app...

I give this app a 1 only because that’s the min allowed

The app is only good for two things and that’s to look at paystubs and print them. The rest of the app is read only you can’t do anything but look. You have to go to the web site to do anything else. In the age of tech and you make an app that doesn’t do much of anything and the website isn’t much better. It’s complete trash if you try and do anything from a noble as well. Pc only and the password protection is even worse. Even when your browser saves your password it’ll tell you you put it in wrong. Then try a new password put in the actual one you was using and looky there you can’t use an old password (that it said was incorrect) but you’re in charge of the security of my money.... wish my company would have never went with this trash.

The app itself is handy to have, but navigating through the menus can feel like a clutter trying to find specific features. The biggest issue is how every other day the app has issues trying to log in. The face scan feature never works half the time and for some reason paylocity will outright forget my password. I have it saved and I know for a fact it’s correct because I write it down. But this is the third time the app makes me create a password even though I don’t have to. But even trying to reset the password on the app doesn’t work as an error screen pops up every time. Aside from the glitchy log in issues it’s a nice app to have when you actually get to use it.

Serious issues with clocking in and out

Hello, Me and my team Have been having serious issues with the app when clocking in and out. It will show you clocked in successfully and out successfully but when you go back later to look at your time the app will show you have missed punches. I have personally witnessed this and it has also happened to myself as well. Also sometimes you will clock in successfully and then you will go back later to clock out and it will say you were never clocked in it’s becoming very frustrating and time consuming to have to correct these incorrect missed punched for the team. Employees are also unable to clock in to work a lot of the time. Can we please get an update to correct these issues thank you!

No option to download or view PDF on mobile

I hope the support team can see this because I have no contact information to them. It’s very frustrating to say the least that I cannot view and download my paystub from the app, I have to email it which is very annoying. ADP is not like this and that’s why loved their app. If you enable users to do this on mobile, I’ll gladly do 5 stars. For now, I’m grading this 1 at best for the time it takes to get a stub on the mobile application. This needs fixed.

Options missing from mobile app

My company went with this system and it seemed great at first. Now we can put time in on our phone. This is important as we constantly travel at our work. Until we found many of the input options required for our timesheet input are only available when using a computer. Rather than add options to this app to access items like location, and other features we need they have forced us to work around these issues. Now using this system has caused us more time and effort than was previously accomplish with paper timesheets sent via e-mail. Also system is glitchy. Often unable to log in. If you want a company that will work with you on tour payroll needs. Look elsewhere.

Not easy to use

The only reason this has two instead of one star is because the app works with little lag. The app has a weird refresh set up I have to do every time I clock in though, meaning if I don’t clock in, let it give me two updates, then click out of and back into the clock in page, it will not actually clock me in or out. I am also having an issue where they have taken away the “approve” button for me to approve my hours. This means I now have to go into the site on my laptop to approve my hours to get paid. Why, oh why? Unless I’m missing something obvious I’ve checked that page and others up and down, no approve button. I’d love to get some help from the site on this.

Broken

Great job making this appealing for management and a daily chore for employees. Fix the punch in and out options for mobile. I hope managers are taking notes as your employees sit at their desks waiting to start work because the app takes forever to log in or suddenly wants you to change your password, again, or only lets you edit one stupid field at a time without saving. Maybe stop making silly “social” platforms and make a punch clock that actually works, physical punch clocks have been around for decades and I have used many of them without incident. The real shame is that you don't even need to build a physical machine, you could program it to do literally anything. It’s easier to get $500 in cash out of my bank acct than it is to punch in on the god forsaken app. Get after it.

App is trash

This app is trash man. I was trying to put in my direct deposit information to get paid early, and there’s just no save button. Meaning I can put in my direct deposit info but can’t save the information. Which is especially frustrating because In the tutorial video, it shows that “save” button, but when you actually try to set up your direct deposit, it’s just missing. So there’s no way to set up my direct deposit and get paid early. Please fix this. And there’s no clear customer service phone number either. It seems like you have to dig in the depths of the internet to even find a customer service number. And once you do, you’ll end up talking to a bot. I don’t wanna talk to a bit, I need to talk to a REAL PERSON.

Kinda okay

The app has a lot of potential and features that are nice and easy to use. The big kicker for me though that brought it to 2 stars is that for nearly a year I’ve been having to uninstall and reinstall the app to get the right pay week to pop up. I have an iPhone running the newest iOS and everyone at my company regardless of brand is having this horrible issue. If I don’t uninstall and reinstall the app I have to click through every week since I last installed the app to do my hours. How is this even an issue? This is the most basic aspect of use this app gets and it’s been broken far to long. Before that I would have given 4 stars. Please, fix your app.

Nothing wants to works for me

Nothing is working for me!!! Every time I put my info in it comes back and says something is wrong!!! Or it will bring up some else’s info with my last name. It just seems very difficult to get setup and not user friendly. By the time I get it to work I’m not gonna need it because it will actually be payday. Something else that makes me skeptical is everyone and I mean EVERYONE at my work (Wendy’s) has told me NOT to use the app that it will scam or it had already scammed them at one point. One employee didn’t receive a paycheck for 2 months because of this work today/pay today thing. He did however get his money and it was a little over $2000. If I can get the app to work for me I’ll update my review.

Some functionality good, others not

The time & attendance is very good & easy to use. Also like being able to do Supervision Notes from the field. It is tremendously disappointing that there is no ability for candidates or in-house employees to apply for open positions on mobile. This is a big miss. Had to set up Easy Apply with 3rd party. 97% of our applications come in on mobile. Also, no benefits enrollment or view. Mobile should have same functionality as desktop. Finally, your Community (desktop and mobile) misses the mark entirely. You have it geared to being completely social, at work. What employers need is for employees to access organizational knowledge easily and ask questions from the field, from managers, colleagues, SMEs.

One thing I would like to add

App works super smooth for me. I don’t really have a choice to use it because my employer requires it, but we were doing paper timesheets I do enjoy being able to clock in on the phone. Super smooth and quick and it seems like they are making improvements to the app. The only thing that I would like to see changed it being able to modify the notes after clocking in and out. My brain is so use to clocking in and out that I forget to add a specific note and by the time I realize it is too late.

Not impressed

App does not allow me to update my phone number or several other things that I need to as far it’s holding me back app run slow and just doesn’t really allow proper updates by the employee which it should because we’re the ones that know what our email phone number and yada yada yada is it’s constantly logging off for no apparent reason push notices hardly ever work or any other notifications for that fact because they all get sent to somewhere else besides the phone or computer that I would use doesn’t really update anything on your tax information throughout the year, doesn’t tell you how many hours you’ve worked total for a yearthere’s quite a bit that could be fixed

Update set it back

I was using it for over a year, and other than a couple of glitches with the clock in setting it was great! I could see my schedule clearly at a glance and easily move from one page to the next. The newest update has made it clunky. I’m still having the clock in/out problem and now I can’t see my full schedule/assignment unless I click on each day individually. I then have to go back and click on the next day and so on. Editing missed punches is also become very cumbersome with the new update. I hope they fix this soon as my employer solely uses this app to function.

This app is the reason i’m quitting my job

Where to start, sometimes it won’t let me punch out for breaks, it will just give me an error. the user interface is super buggy and difficult to use. when i submit a day off request it changes it to the day before the one i selected meaning if i want to request a day off i have to select the day before the one i actually want off. i cannot believe i have to use this for my job. it is basically unusable and endlessly frustrating and i’m just done with it. i don’t know who is rating this five stars but i guarantee they haven’t actually used this “app”. if your employer wants you to use this app, just find a different job because they obviously do not care about their employees.

Basic details are missing from the employee app

As an exempt employee I don’t need to use the application for daily use. I periodically check in on key details and find some basic information is lacking. I recently wanted to change my w-4 tax deduction rate and can find no details on my current deduction settings or the w-4 form to change those values. Seems like this should be included. Time off and sick time accruals contain no history or rates of accrual requiring the employee to login each pay period to verify the accrual rate is applied correctly. This was a problem for me and others in my company when my employer converted to Paylocity and wasn’t as clear as it should have been to untangle. Finally and likely the most disturbing is the minimum pay for an exempt employee of my status in California increased this year yet my salary has not. It was a minor change for me and went unnoticed due to changes in other rates of deduction. Back to my hr for assistance.

Crappy for managers. What happened??

The app used to provide some basic functions for people as needed on the go but the user experience really gone downhill, especially if you are a manager trying to approve time cards. You can no longer do everything on one sheet but rather have to navigate between multiple tabs, can’t do anything as a mass action, it just takes forever, especially you have multiple supervisees. If you don’t have to clock in and out of work, there’s no point downloading this app. The reimbursem*nt feature can be handy since you take photos of your receipts on the go but I don’t think most companies use that anyway.
