Verdict
Paylocity is a US payroll and HCM platform, and a solid one. If your workforce is predominantly American it belongs on your shortlist — but it is not a route to hiring someone in Portugal, and shouldn't be compared to an EOR on that basis.
Pros
- ✓Deep, mature US payroll and tax filing — its core competence for decades
- ✓Strong benefits administration and US compliance handling
- ✓Aggregates payroll data from 100+ countries for companies with their own entities
- ✓Well-established support and implementation for US mid-market
Cons
- ✕Does not offer EOR — international hiring goes through a partner, not Paylocity
- ✕Global functionality is reporting and aggregation, not running payroll itself
- ✕No published pricing
