In today’s fast-paced business environment, HR and payroll systems aren’t just back-office necessities, they’re strategic levers for growth, compliance, and culture. Yet too often, businesses underutilize the platforms they’ve invested in, either due to lack of expertise, inconsistent administration, or the complexity of integrations.
That’s where EmphasisHR steps in. We don’t offer managed services for “a bunch of platforms.” We’ve chosen one, Paylocity, and built our business exclusively around it. Our firm lives and breathes Paylocity. And that level of specialization means our clients get something rare in the HR outsourcing world: expert execution without compromise.
What Are Paylocity Managed Services?
Paylocity managed services go beyond basic support. They involve fully outsourcing the day-to-day administration and strategic use of the Paylocity platform, from onboarding and payroll processing to compliance, benefits, and talent management.
While many firms support Paylocity as part of a broader tech stack, few work exclusively on the platform. That distinction matters. It means our team isn’t juggling competing systems or trying to learn new features on the fly, we’re embedded in Paylocity every single day.
Why Specialization in Paylocity Matters
1. Deep Platform Expertise
We know the intricacies of Paylocity because we operate within it 100% of the time. From configuring workflows to optimizing reporting and automation, our knowledge of the system runs deep.
New feature release? We’re already testing it. Complex payroll scenario? We’ve likely handled it before. For our clients, this means no guesswork, just accurate execution and better outcomes.
2. Seamless Implementation and Transition Support
Whether you’re implementing Paylocity for the first time or exiting a PEO, our team guides the entire transition, from system build-out to first paycheck. With our Paylocity-only focus, we help businesses avoid the common pitfalls of configuration mistakes and inefficient workflows.
We don’t just turn the system on, we make sure it’s built to scale with your business.
3. Efficiency and Peace of Mind
We manage the entire platform for our clients. That includes payroll, benefits administration, compliance, reporting, and more. With EmphasisHR as your Paylocity partner, you won’t need to worry about keeping up with labor law changes or reconciling errors between disconnected systems.
Our clients know their HR operations are handled. That’s why we say:
“Let us do the work.”
4. Strategic Use of HR Technology
We help growing companies get more value out of Paylocity by leveraging advanced tools like Talent Suite, Performance Management, Learning Management, and Survey.
Too often, businesses invest in a robust HCM platform but only use 40% of its capabilities. We help you unlock the full power of Paylocity, not just for operations, but for employee engagement, retention, and growth.
5. A Perfect Fit for Growing Businesses
Our sweet spot is the growing business that’s outgrown their PEO, or is preparing to leave it. These companies need HR infrastructure, but don’t want to build an internal HR department from scratch. They’ve chosen Paylocity as their platform of record, and they need a partner who knows it inside and out.
We’re that partner. We plug in immediately and provide consistency across payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance, all through Paylocity.
Mutually Exclusive to Paylocity: Why That’s Our Advantage
We’re not generalists. We’ve made a deliberate decision to align exclusively with the Paylocity platform because we believe it offers the most flexible and scalable solution for modern businesses. That exclusivity allows us to:
- Stay ahead of updates and changes to the system
- Deliver more strategic insights based on platform analytics
- Resolve support issues faster with direct Paylocity partnership
- Build consistent processes across all clients
Our specialization isn’t a limitation, it’s our superpower. And it’s what sets EmphasisHR’s Paylocity Managed Services apart from traditional outsourced HR providers or in-house admin teams.
From First Paycheck to Long-Term Growth
At EmphasisHR, we support our clients through every phase of growth. Whether you’re a fast-scaling startup or a mid-market business preparing for an acquisition, we provide a level of platform confidence and HR consistency that’s hard to replicate.
We don’t just use Paylocity—we live it.
And that commitment delivers peace of mind, operational excellence, and measurable ROI.
