Quick Resolutions for Web Clock Access Difficulties
⚠️ Forgot Password
Cause: Unable to recall your personal account password.
Solution: From the login screen (access.paylocity.com), click the Forgot Password? link and follow the prompts to reset your password. You will likely need your Company ID, Username, and access to your registered email or phone for verification.
⚠️ Forgotten Company ID or Username
Cause: Cannot remember your company's identifier or your personal username.
Solution: On the main login page (access.paylocity.com), look for a Login Help section or a link like Forgot Company ID/Username?. Follow the instructions to retrieve this information. If issues persist, contact your company administrator, as Paylocity cannot provide this directly to employees.
⚠️ Login Page Not Loading or General Access Issues
Cause: Browser caching problems, unsupported browser, or network connectivity issues.
Solution: First, clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try refreshing the login page. If that doesn't work, attempt to log in using an Incognito or Private Browsing window, or switch to a different recommended web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge). Ensure your internet connection is stable. If the problem continues, your company's IT department may need to check network configurations, as the site might be unreachable from your specific location.
⚠️ Clock-In/Out Button Missing or Not Functioning
Cause: Configuration settings, an active punch status, or system errors.
Solution: Verify that you are on the correct dashboard or Time & Labor section. If you are already clocked in, the Clock In button will not appear (and vice-versa for Clock Out). If the issue isn't related to your current punch status, it might be a system-specific configuration. We understand being locked out of your time entry is stressful; contact your company administrator immediately for assistance, as they manage your portal's specific settings.
Protecting Your Personal Timekeeping Data
- 🔒 Always use a strong, unique password for your Paylocity account and consider enabling two-factor authentication if offered by your employer.
- 🔒 Never share your login credentials, including your Company ID, Username, and Password, with anyone, even colleagues.
- 🔒 Be vigilant about phishing attempts; always verify that you are on the official Paylocity domain (access.paylocity.com or paylocity.com) before entering your login information.
- 🔒 Log out of the Web Clock or employee portal immediately after completing your tasks, especially when using shared or public computers, to prevent unauthorized access.
- 🔒 Report any suspicious activity or unrecognized changes to your time entries or personal information to your company administrator without delay.
