ADP RUN vs Paycor

ADP RUN

RUN by ADP is perfect, in my opinion, for any size of company. Whether you have 5 employees or 500 employees. I feel that RUN by ADP will meet your needs and help make processing payroll as smooth as possible. Using RUN by ADP is a huge time saver for me. I love how easy it is to add new employees. I work at a company that is experiencing big growth and I am grateful for how easy it is to add new employees. I wish RUN by ADP was more transparent about the cutoff times to process payroll timely. It would be very nice to know what is the latest I could process payroll to have it be processed on time

Paycor

Paycor is a stable software that fits in human capital force management and payroll administration. One specific scenario where Paycor really helps is in submission of tax and other statutory deductions in a comfortable thereby lowering any lawsuits that maybe leveled against your company for failure to oblige with statutory tax deductions among others remittances

Pros

The software platform is incredibly easy to learn and user-friendly.
The cost is surprisingly better than other payroll processing platforms, especially considering what is included and the longstanding national reputation of ADP.
The simplicity, automation, and available templates and reports are incredibly helpful to our growing organization.

Paycor is an easy system to set up and utilize.
Payor is user-friendly, so we don't have many questions from our field staff concerning how to pull information that they need from the system.

Their reporting is not user friendly. There are no simple reports like Payroll history report for one employee. This is a standard report that is used frequently by employers. It is beyond me why they would not have this.
The time card report will not print the exact punches you see on the time card itself. We have a work group for lunch so that our employees can see that all their time is accounted for during the day but this will not print on time card report and we have been told it is not possible.
Benefit hours are not real time. They do not update until you process the payroll that a sick, or vacation day was taken in. This is very difficult for anyone trying to manage benefit hours.

Would have given this a 10, however, not all designated support specialists assigned to us have been worthy of a top rating. Our current support specialist has been outstanding.

Alternatives Considered

Compared to Paycor, ADP's web portal is much easier to navigate and use which has made running payroll easier. While the overall features are similar, ADP has more options such as integrating an HR support feature and linking to a 401k that make it more flexible. I have also found that generating reports is much easier in ADP's site, especially since it auto generates some key reports as soon as payroll is run.

We moved from ADP because it was not user friendly for our employees or HR department. We met with three companies when we went out to bid. Paycor was the best fit for us! We have not regretted that decision since
