Core HR
Core HR is software that can so easily fit on any kind of HR management system. It has amazing features. In case of new recruitment applicant tracking, application management, approval process control, etc could easily solve with Core HR. It is very much suited for company records management. It is a complete database for current employees as well.

OnPay
OnPay is great for smaller companies. The level of support is incredible compared to some of the more extensive payroll services. The administration website is intuitive, and there are a lot of help articles if you still are not sure how to do something. It is easy to reach a live person either by phone, chat, or e-mail. The employee portal is easy to use and looks great.

OnPay is super easy to use. If I don't know something it doesn't take long to figure out just by navigating the website. If I still can't figure something out I usually "chat" with them and it's easily resolved.

I would say support is one of the best features OnPay has. You can call, chat or email. With ADP I was always on hold for a ridiculous amount of time. They also did not have chat when I was with ADP.

Easy to implement and easy to convert any other payroll reports to the OnPay system when making the switch

The previous software I used was so limited in various core HR functions. On the other hand Core HR meets up our almost every requirement. And the very most reason to switch into Core HR is it has a free trail version for the users. That gives you much flexibility to check everything out properly

OnPay
OnPay is more cost-effective and definitely much easier to use. The login process is much better and easier for the manager and employee. Processing payroll is also easier and more user-friendly. All around a better bang for your buck. This is the opposite of "you get what you paid for."

Return on Investment
Core HR
- We can see our all details here like salary statement.
- Payroll information(complete breakup of you compensation).
- Claim different allowances with this tool and track it as well.
- Track your time and attendance here.
- We can modify the shift plan here and change the WOs but it will go for approval to your manager.
- The process of changing the WOs, regularization is little difficult.

- They have saved us a lot of time (in contrast) to our short stint with a competitor's payroll service which was an awful waste of time on long, useless calls with the competitors' poorly-trained help desk.
