Paychecks, Timecards, and Daily Punches
Paylocity puts routine payroll and time tasks in one mobile workspace. Authorized employees can view current and historical pay information, clock in or out, review timesheets, and check work schedules without returning to a desktop portal. The personalized home screen brings common actions and items needing attention closer together, which is useful during shifts or while working away from an office.
Time-off requests, approval updates, and paycheck availability can arrive as notifications when an employer enables them. Employees may also access earned wages through On Demand Payment where their organization offers that service. Because menus and rights follow each company’s configuration, one account may show payroll, punches, and schedules while another presents a smaller set of tools.
Requests, Expenses, and Company Card Tasks
Employees can manage several approval-based tasks from the app, including time-off requests, expense reports, receipts, and timecards. Expense tools support receipt submission, reconciliation, and tracking approvals, while company card controls can keep work purchases connected to the same workflow. This reduces the need to move between separate systems when a routine request needs documentation or manager review.
Supervisors can review and approve time-off requests, expense reports, and timecards from a phone. Real-time alerts help surface items that need action, and schedule tools can support viewing or editing shifts. The available expense and card options depend on the employer’s Paylocity setup, so users should expect their home screen and navigation to reflect assigned workplace modules.
Schedules, Onboarding, and Personal Records
Paylocity gives employees a self-service route to schedules, personal information, company directories, and onboarding tasks. New hires can complete pre-boarding steps such as signing or uploading compliance documents and setting up direct deposit when those workflows are assigned. Existing employees can keep profile details current and use a searchable organization view to understand teams and contact colleagues.
Managers and supervisors can create, view, or edit schedules and follow journal entries or development progress for direct reports. A personalized task list helps turn administrative work into smaller actions that can be completed between other duties. Exact access varies by security role, making the app most useful when an employer has enabled the relevant HR, scheduling, or talent modules.
Community Updates and Workplace Connections
Beyond payroll and timekeeping, Paylocity includes communication tools that help distributed teams stay informed. Employees can read company messages, follow news, recognize peers, and participate in Community groups. An interactive organization chart and colleague chat make it easier to find the right person, while recognition and milestone posts give workplace updates a more social format.
The app suits employees who need quick access during a shift as well as supervisors handling approvals away from a desk. Company-specific AI assistance may provide answers to common workplace questions, and push notifications can highlight new chats, tasks, approvals, or available checks. Since every employer chooses different modules and permissions, the experience remains personalized to the user’s organization and role.
