Protect Yourself

• Use Bookmarks: Direct your browser only to the official URL: https://access.paylocity.com/.
• Verify Senders: Check that emails come from paylocity.com and not similar-looking, fake domains.
• Enable MFA: Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to prevent unauthorized access, even if your password is stolen.
• Report Suspicious Activity: If you receive a suspicious message, contact your company's HR or payroll department immediately.

If you believe you've clicked a fraudulent link, inform your employer's IT department immediately, as you may need to reset your password and secure your payroll account.
