Eddy vs. Paycor

If you understand the pitfalls of Eddy, such as needing to manually track what has been signed--vs still pending--then it is a well utilized system. Being able to send documents for signature via HelloSign is useful. At one point we had used HelloSign for onboarding but made it made it difficult to transition and track new hires.

Paycor has a lot all in one place and it has been helpful for both the client and the users to navigate and execute our needs. From creating and posting our schedules to payroll processing with Tax assistance to HR and onboarding, and benefits integrations with live feeds. Along with their reporting system to be able to over view everything that the client has going on

• ACA - the ACA support was phenomenal. It was SO easy.
• Payroll - Easy to use and easy to edit.
• Performance Reviews - Customizable and has some AI features incorporated
• Benefits - User Friendly with so many options for administrative reports.
• Recruiting - intuitive design, easy to read and get a snapshot of information. Can add non-manager to review applications which is very helpful when team interviewing.

• An employee needs to accept the invitation to populate in the onboarding tab
• Documents do not show which documents are pending signature
• As an HR software, it should have a place with labor law updates based on region

• Paycor's customer support is very impersonal, and it's often hard to find an actual person to take ownership of your problem. Until recently, we had a dedicated account rep whose feet we could hold to the fire when problem resolution was stalled, but even that has been eliminated in favor of a "Shared Success Team."
• The navigation is cumbersome. Accessing specific areas of an employee's profile now requires multiple clicks, each of which requires a screen reload. This doesn't sound like a major problem, but when you're working through dozens of employees to make changes, it can really slow down your day.
• Paycor assured us at time of purchase that their product was cohesive throughout all its components: payroll, benefits, recruiting, etc. Our experience has been to the contrary. There are many areas in the product where the seams show through and the interface style changes as third-party software takes over. Benefits enrollments don't always communicate cleanly to payroll, for example, and it's not uncommon for us to find enrolled employees with no payroll deductions for their insurance.

The product is really good overall. The customer service is not the best and the benefits administration is kind of painful. However, the good outweighs the bad. We might get a different benefit admin system that can be integrated into Paycor. My controller doesn't want to switch anything for a [long] time.

Paycor is very easy to use and has a great UI/UX. Our employees enjoy the Perform features such as recognition, goals, and performance reviews. It is very easy to navigate and it's great to be able to tell our employees Paycor has everything they need from an HR standpoint (paychecks, taxes, benefit cards, schedule, etc). The system looked a lot more modern than others we demoed and is very easy to navigate

We have not experienced any availability issues

All processes work quickly

I feel like support will transfer you back and forth between departments and put you on hold forever. I believe it is very difficult to see the status of an open ticket. During my experience, it feels like the client has to push all communication and request updates from support regularly.

The training was easy to understand, and the Paycor tutorials are a great, easy reference.

Implementation of any new software is going to be challenging, especially if you are maintaining an existing program concurrently. When it is time for dual-processing (both old and new software) prior to going live, be prepared to be stressed. But trust the process and it will be over soon.

ADP HR did not have the tracking portion and allowance of signatures that Eddy does. ADP had an electronic filing system but no ability to send out documents for signature. ADP HR has up-to-date labor laws for our location, so we had to sign up for both products--one to mitigate our legal liability and the other to easily track HR docs that have been signed.

Paycor is very similar, but seems to have taken the opportunity to make improvements based on what client's want/need, have an effective customer support system, and has more intuitive user experience. The others were smaller less robust systems that we evolved out of. Trakstar Hire is our current ATS, which isn't perfect but works for now.

We haven't needed to scale
