Paylocity is a cloud-based HCM platform designed for the mid-market. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, Paylocity serves over 36,000 clients and processes payroll for approximately 6 million workers across the U.S.
What sets Paylocity apart is its focus on the employee experience. Features like Community, a social collaboration hub built into the platform, and on-demand payment through its partnership ecosystem reflect Paylocity's belief that HR software should feel modern, not bureaucratic.
The platform covers payroll, benefits administration, talent management, workforce management, and data insights. Paylocity has been recognized on the Forbes Cloud 100 and consistently ranks among the top mid-market HCM providers.
Paylocity gives you a modern HCM platform with dozens of modules. AirMason gives you one thing: the best employee handbook your team has ever seen. When your policies live in a beautifully designed, mobile-friendly handbook with compliance tracking and e-signatures, employees engage with the content instead of ignoring it.

Drag-and-drop design with your brand colors, fonts, and imagery. Create handbooks that look as modern as Paylocity itself.

Every acknowledgment is timestamped and stored. Generate compliance reports for audits, legal proceedings, or internal reviews.

State-specific policy templates that stay current. AirMason flags changes and provides updates so you are never caught off guard.

Direct-link access from any device. Employees read the handbook without downloading an app or navigating through Paylocity menus.
The integration between Paylocity and AirMason keeps your employee data and handbook workflows in sync. Employee records flow from Paylocity into AirMason, handbooks are distributed based on department and location, and acknowledgment data flows back for complete record-keeping.
Paylocity handles the broad HR stack. AirMason handles the handbook deep-dive.

Independent ratings from major review platforms
Paylocity is one of the strongest mid-market HCM platforms available. It handles payroll, benefits, talent management, and even social collaboration. But when it comes to employee handbooks, Paylocity offers document storage, not a purpose-built handbook solution.
Storing policies as uploaded files creates gaps. Documents go stale, formatting breaks on mobile, and there is no reliable way to track who read what. For HR teams that need audit-ready compliance documentation, uploaded PDFs are not enough.
AirMason fills this gap. By pairing Paylocity with a dedicated handbook platform, you get the full HCM suite you need for daily operations and the compliance confidence that comes from a professionally designed, tracked, and updated employee handbook.
Paylocity has built its brand around the modern employee experience. Features like Community bring social collaboration into the workplace, and the platform's design reflects a commitment to making HR tools feel approachable.
Your employee handbook should match that standard. When policies live in a visually compelling, mobile-friendly format with clear navigation and search functionality, employees actually engage with the content. AirMason handbooks complement Paylocity's employee experience philosophy by turning policies into a resource people use, not a document they ignore.
Many Paylocity clients operate across multiple states. Paylocity handles the payroll tax implications; AirMason handles the employment law implications at the handbook level.
With AirMason, you can create state-specific handbook versions that are automatically distributed based on employee location data from Paylocity. When employment laws change in a specific state, AirMason flags the affected policies and provides attorney-reviewed updates. Employees in that state are notified to re-acknowledge, and the audit trail is recorded.
This approach eliminates the manual work of maintaining separate policy documents for each location and ensures no employee receives outdated information.
Setting up AirMason alongside Paylocity typically takes less than two weeks. Our onboarding team configures the integration, migrates your existing policies into a branded handbook, and tests the employee sync before going live.
If you are currently managing policies through Paylocity's document storage, our team will help you restructure that content into a modern, compliant handbook. Many teams start with our free handbook audit to identify compliance gaps and outdated language before the migration.
Expert-curated handbooks, seamless HRIS integration, compliance that stays current.
