Paycor Review

Paycor - Saves the Day Every Pay Day
- Manage payroll with various union rules, in different tax situations, and various other rules unique to our business
- Increase leave management accuracy while maintaining various approvers
- Reduce the need for paper and standardize documents for onboarding, life changes, and other updates
- Increasing the ability to connect via an API would be beneficial. The exporting or reporting within Paycor is relatively basic. Although most needs are met from looking at the dashboard we do have some BI and other reporting needs that have gone unmet
- Better manage different leave workflows, we have some rules where it is not a direct one-to-one relationship with an approver that couldn't be handled within Paycor effectively
Paycor - A Mixed Bag
- tax updates
- department organization/structure
- reporting
- increased functionality in Time
- a smoother connection between TOD and perform payroll
- Onboarding
- Process Payroll & taxes
- Training and learning on using Paycor
- Time Off Calendar - easy to see view (authorized) with names at month level
- Time Off Requests - Ability to edit after approval (authorized)
- Creating Reports - easier, more user friendly, faster response time
- Customer Service response via email - I have made several requests with no response on status.
Flexible enough for any industry!
- Easy payroll processing.
- Onboarding is easy for new employees.
- Reporting is fairly easy to learn on your own.
- The help/knowledge database and training videos are very helpful and detailed.
- Anyone we've spoken to at the company was helpful and friendly.
- It would be nice to get geofencing back without manually adding it to each payroll/employee.
- Transferring between payrolls could be easier.
- It would be nice to have a dedicated customer support person rather than taking our chances on whoever answers the phone.
Paycor for Payroll is great!
- Onboarding wizard is quick and easy to use for employer and employee
- Some new functions in Benefits Advisor are great, the employee can initiate their own event and requires less oversight/follow-up from the employer
- Ease of use/look and feel on the Perform side is great
- Time on Demand - the function to request time off, allows employees to request 8 hours for 5 days off. It should populate the number of hours based on the number of days.
- Manager view of Time on Demand and managing time cards - the page with the collapsible menus and boxes can get very confusing for a new user.
- Paycor does nothing well except invoice us every month for things we can't use.
- I have hourly non-exempt employees that work overnight. Paycor is the absolute WORST in time tracking for these employees. Their supervisors and I are constantly having to adjust time cards to keep time from pulling from one pay period to the next. This is an absolute NIGHTMARE!! The only thing Paycor does is to make excuses with no valid fix, I've been dealing with this for 2 years. I have had employees miss getting paid for an entire day because their time was pulled to the previous pay period not only messing up the current time card but past ones as well. We receive grant funding from the Federal Government, our time cards have to match pay stubs or we don't get reimbursed, this is of NO concern to Paycor. (They're getting paid!)
- Reports constantly error out, again no urgency on Paycor response.
- Emails requesting support are taking weeks to get a response. When you call you can be on hold for more than an hour, and only to get someone who has no idea how to fix anything.
- With COVID19 many of our vendors picked up their support and customer service, not Paycor - they reduced their staff making it impossible to get issues resolved. Way to go, Paycor!
Easy flexible software for HR
- Listens to user feedback
- Has tools that are easy to work with
- Customer service will continue to work on an issue until it is resolved
- Better tracking for talent development
- Robust compensation tool
- More robust time and attendance system

In My Opinion, DO NOT USE PAYCOR YOU WILL REGRET IT!!
- Nothing, [I feel like] they have done nothing well. Everything has been a nightmare since day 1.
- [In my experience,] no one will even respond to me anymore. We are not even fully implemented.
- [In my opinion,] DO NOT USE PAYCOR
- [in my opinion,] they need to improve everything. [My experience has been that] this company lies and gives you false hopes and does not care about anything but getting the sale.
- [I feel like] they have fallen off the face of the earth and left us not fully implemented, just sitting here since April.
- Absolutely terrible people and company [in my opinion]. No one knows what they are talking about or how features work [from my experience].
- [In my opinion,] DO NOT USE!!!!
