Paylocity versus Your connection is not private
Compare	Paylocity	Your connection is not private
Verdict	Depends	Skip
Who it's not for	Teams under ~25 people . serious overkill	Everyone . this is an error screen, nothing is for sale
Privacy	Public trust center and vendor risk scores (Rankiteo 762/1000); one 2018 breach notice on record; no public CVEs found.¹³	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.
Support quality	Recurring complaint threads on Reddit	No product support evidence.
Public sentiment	Sentiment is mixed: large review bases skew positive while Reddit threads document complaints, a dedicated 'AVOID' post, and difficult comparisons with ADP and Paycor.^¹	Reddit users report this warning on single sites or every site, usually traced to certificate problems, antivirus, proxies, or captive portals.
Biggest gotcha	Support quality is a recurring complaint theme; nail down SLAs in the contract^⁵	Never click 'Proceed' to reach a payroll site; unverified connections can expose passwords and banking data.¹⁵

Pick Paylocity when

US mid-market (roughly 50-1,000 employees)
Teams consolidating payroll + HR + talent
Multi-state US payroll
Replacing legacy payroll (ADP, Paycor)

When Paylocity is not a fit

Teams under ~25 people . serious overkill
Buyers wanting self-serve, transparent pricing
Guess: companies needing non-US/global payroll
Founders who just need someone to run payroll

When Your connection is not private is not a fit

Everyone . this is an error screen, nothing is for sale
Anyone tempted to click 'Proceed anyway' on a payroll site
Buyers wanting a real Gusto payroll review . re-run with its product page
Admins diagnosing corporate SSL interception . use the vendor guides instead
