Blog Post

In today’s busy world, wouldn’t it be nice to have a personal assistant who helps you tackle your daily work tasks? With our new AI Assistant, Paylocity makes that possible. Building on Paylocity’s long-standing AI-driven capabilities — including personalized recommendations, sentiment analysis, and predictive workforce insights — the Paylocity AI Assistant simplifies HR-related tasks with real-time, contextual support across the Paylocity platform. This October, we've introduced a suite of enhancements designed to drive efficiency, enhance employee experience, foster a better learning environment, and more. 

Drive efficiency with AI Assistant

Streamline workflows, boost productivity, and experience tailored support for both client-related tasks and personal projects. The AI Assistant is easily accessible in the navigation header across the suite — simply click the 3 stars icon to the left of the notification bell. Whether you need quick insights or in-depth answers, just ask your AI Assistant and it will automatically search our internal knowledge base to supply the most relevant information and helpful resources.

Promote a culture of appreciation with diverse rewards

Provide a more versatile and personalized rewards platform to recognize each team member's unique contributions. Employees can now redeem Reward Bucks for digital gift cards right from their Recognition & Rewards workspace, expanding their options beyond cash. The new catalog offers a variety of gift cards from top retailers and specialized brands, allowing employees to choose rewards that align with their personal preferences.

Expand learning possibilities to meet diverse training needs

Explore a vast library of Go1 training content and request a demo from a Go1 representative — all within our Learning module. While Paylocity focuses on providing versatile courses, Go1 offers expertise in industry-specific training like healthcare, hospitality, retail, and manufacturing, saving you time and effort in sourcing tailored learning solutions. All purchased Go1 content would be accessible through Paylocity Learning.

Efficiently access and manage report data

Easily sort up to six columns when creating or editing Dynamic Reports, allowing for more complex and customized data views to meet a variety of your reporting needs. Additionally, reports are now available for 31 days on the Report Pickup Page due to enhanced search functionality and increased retention updates. Effortlessly organize, access, and work with your reports with more flexibility and ease.

Simplify journal record keeping and documentation

Enable signatures while creating or editing Journal Templates to add a layer of accountability to entries. Once enabled, employees will receive a notification and “to-do” alert for pending signatures, making it easy for them to sign directly from the Journals Dashboard or the View Journal page. Signed journals can be downloaded as PDFs or sent to the Document Library, providing a streamlined and centralized system for documentation.

Streamline international employee management

Directly input market-specific fields for Australia and Germany within the International New Hire Flow and Single Employee Record, seamlessly supporting local payroll needs and reducing redundancy. This integration eliminates the need for data transfers to WebGlobe and ensures that In-Country Providers receive accurate information needed for payroll processing.
