Paycor is a Good Choice
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Paycor as an all in 1 HRIS system/time management system/payroll management system. It provides us with all services in one application. We don't need to integrate multiple systems for these 3 items and that makes it easier for us. It also has other capabilities which we have not started using yet like performance management and applicant tracking.
Pros
- Paycor's payroll system is fairly easy to use with plenty of accessible support.
- Paycor's Employee management side is easy for both HR to manage and make corrections as well as the employees to access and make personal corrections.
- Paycor's attendance tracking system is easy to access for both employees, managers, and HR. It is easy for managers to receive reports and make corrective actions in accordance with the reports.
Cons
- Paycor has a lot of room for improvement when it comes to system implementation. This was the worst implementation I have ever been through. We never really received apologies for how bad it went, everyone just sort of ghosted out company.
- Paycor's reporting could use some improvements. There are just some reports that don't work. It would be nice if paycor had a dedicated report building department that could tailor some company specific reports for us. That would be extremely helpful but also give them an opportunity to add to their standard templates and grow the library as time went on and they received more requests for similar reports.
- Paycor could work on fixing whatever issue keeps out company from being able to verify using out own company account with historical data as opposed to creating a whole new account. Oh and fix their WOTC reporting features since we had to deactivate it to get out onboarding to complete.
Return on Investment
- It has been a cost saving in comparison to the company that we had before. They don't slip in secret fees (unless it is a possible integration) and they haven't raised our pricing on anything. All in all it is leagues above who we once had.

Decades of Experience in HRIS
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Paycor for all its features. This includes payroll, recruiting, benefits, training and development. One feature that Paycor offered that we didn't have (and needed) was a robust LMS and Leadership training.
Pros
- Offering a robust LMS
- User training
- Benefit platform
Cons
- the App lacks full usability
- Reporting is very limited
- Analytics does not provide accurate data
- The system is not real-time; we often have to wait hours or overnight
Return on Investment
- Recruiting and onboarding saves time for both the recruiter and the candidate
- The ability to run off-schedule payroll has added flexibility and response time
- Unfortunately, the limited functionality on the App has made it more difficult for team members.

Cons
- Listening to their clients thoroughly
- Too many changes/updates/sunsetting reports
- Since merging with Paychex, Paycor has begun to over-price their products
Return on Investment

- EDI files are often splattered with errors

Pros
- Cohesive
- Easy to use
- Easy to understand
Cons
- Network speed
- More customization options
- Small QOL changes
Return on Investment
- We have seen an increase in applicant flow
- We have seen fewer hiccups in onboarding transitions
- The employees have a better time using this than the previous program
