Chose Paycor
I prefer Quickbooks, it was the easiest system to process, approve, pay, and log. Taxes were easier however it was the most expensive and we were all told that the changes were being made.
Chose Paycor
Paycor seemed simpler and still allowed the employer to control many aspects of what the employeea can do.
The cost was more effective than Paycom. The customer service was another area of concern, even though Paycor could improve on some reps speaking better English, this is …
Chose Paycor
Paycor doesn't have the same functionality for the HRIS piece as the others. Paycor was selected by our payroll provider when we were small.
Chose Paycor
Bamboo's interface and customer service is better than Paycor's. The main reason we have not switched is because of up-front implementation fees that come with every platform. If I had a blank slate, I am honestly not sure I would choose Paycor, but I don't mind having Paycor …
Chose Paycor
Paycom has all one system, so their different modules all talk to one another. They also have an excellent benefit module and EDI feed setup. We have had no problems with their benefit setup or EDI feeds; they work well!
Chose Paycor
I find Paycor to be easier to use, and workflows run smoothly.
Chose Paycor
Overall, I prefer it to the bigger HRIS systems that I work with (ADP, Paycom, Paylocity) and would chose Paycor above those listed. I do prefer utilizing other Ben Admin Systems (Gusto, Rippling, Ease) for pulling general reports, usability, and customer service needs for …
Chose Paycor
Sales rep were really respectful. I felt with some other vendors they were a bit aggressive. The demo that was made in house was nice and the guy demonstrating it knew a lot about the system which made us more confident in the decision. Also, the ability of having all in one …
Chose Paycor
I did not select Paycor. I would not pick it in future roles.
Chose Paycor
We have tried to use the Paycor ATS but it is clunky and doesnt have the functionality that other ATS's have.
Chose Paycor
Paycor offers significantly improved reporting features. I appreciated Bamboo HR for its user-friendly design. I enjoyed many small features in BambooHR, such as the automated welcome emails sent to the team when a new employee joined. It also automatically sent birthday and …

All platforms provide similar services in our world. Some are just a bit better than others and offer different spins on things or nuances that make it just that much better for the end user. Paycor is that added nuance factor.
Chose Paycor
We used Paychex in the past and ran into a situation where our local payroll taxes were withheld; but not paid timely to the entity, and became delinquent. It took months to resolve the matter, and due to the owner's frustration over the situation we decided to make the change …
Chose Paycor
I had a demonstration on Emma for recommending health benefits to employees. We offer three health plans which operate differently from one another. While I was impressed with the capabilities, I am not ready to implement AI for benefits because many employees do not understand …
Chose Paycor
Paycor is miles ahead of ADP Total Source in terms of payroll processing and HR management.
Chose Paycor
Paycor is so much easier to use than ADP Resources was. It is also exponentially more affordable and provides a lot more support from customer service. ADP didn't allow customers to create new payroll batches and required 15 min waits between payroll submission and completion. …
Chose Paycor
There are areas of each application that stack up to Paycor. Paycor's advantage is the automation between platforms creating more accurate payrolls. Especially the efficiency in onboarding, BA and timekeeping.
Chose Paycor
Paycor's price point in comparison to other platforms is spot on. Affordable platform with standard industry features. Paycor touted that our company size was right in their "sweet spot" as well and that they could specifically handle our complexities. We overall felt that the …
Chose Paycor
I didn't choice Paycor over ADP. I worked with ADP at another company.

Paycor, Inc
Paycor is well suited for timekeeping and note taking within that realm. Paycor is less suited for EASE OF USE within the management team. for example: it is simple for an employee to clock in and out and make a note to add a day bonus or a perdium. It is much more cumbersome for me to approve that payroll on a monday by seeing which platform I can log in from to view my team and then select the employee from a list and select the arrows back to find the correct dates and then select approve, and check a box saying that I really DO APPROVE and then confirming that I meant to do that

Cons
Paycor, Inc
  • Manual onboarding needs help. Employees are defaulted to the wrong job class and I have to correct their job class after I have hired them.
  • Our default time zone should be the time zone of the employer, not Paycor's time zone.
  • Ability to run a report showing employee time zones.
  • Ability to run a report showing employee Policy Group.

Price point is the biggest driving factor. Paycor has made some strides in the customer service area and we've seen enough improvements that renewing our contract has become more a reality than a pipe dream. The system functions well and our employees are familiar with how it works, so to make a change would be a huge lift for our team

Usability
Paycor, Inc
Paycor is really easy to use. It is simple and straightforward. They also provide a ton of training to equip you to be able to use their platform to the full extent. They also have customer service chatting with live agents and they have been helpful to point me in the right direction when I am stumped.

Reliability and Availability
Paycor, Inc
I feel like Paycor is always up and running! If they are planning downtime, they communicate it clearly. Every once in a while, I get something that says the system isn't working but it is usually back up within the hour. I typically find by the time that the employees complain about it, that it is resolved within the system.

Performance
Paycor, Inc
For the most part, everything moves super fast. There are a few sections (Expense Management) that sometimes take a bit to load correctly. Or if they are interesting, it takes a minute to talk to each other! But reports are quickly downloaded and available! Even data heavy reports run fairly fast!

Support Rating
Paycor, Inc
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.

Online Training
Paycor, Inc
The online trainings are super helpful. They have user guides that you can read through, interactive training that will walk you through it as well as plain web based ones. I've actually never had an in-person training but all of the information you need can be found online. They also will do individual support training if you are struggling with a certain area.

Implementation Rating
Paycor, Inc
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.

Scalability
Paycor, Inc
I gave it a 10 because we only use it across one organization. However, it has allowed us to break it into multiple departments and layers of management. It is also easy for us to utilize across different locations but still under one master company. They have always provided us support when we decide to change something on an organizational level

Return on Investment
Paycor, Inc
  • It has freed me up to do more of the fun things we wanted to do in HR, outside of basic policy/evals/payroll.
  • It has challenged my brain and learning. It's both frustrating and empowering to be able to configure the system when Paycor can't.
