We really use everything that Paycor has to offer across every organization.
From payroll to accruals to storing and attaching important documents to employee profiles. We use Paycor for its comprehensive benefits platform to manage benefits eligibility, enrollment, deductions, and back-end access for our brokers. Our companies take advantage of the terrific features the mobile app has to offer, as well as using the platform to keep track of certificates required for working/compliance and its intuitive coaching/employee progress and discipline features.
  • Paycor does an exceptional job integrating its payroll platform with our POS and time/wage tracking systems in the field.
  • Paycor does a great job at tracking PTO and Sick accruals.
  • The Benefits platform is intuitive and quick to learn.
  • Analytics is done brilliantly in Paycor, allowing you to take snapshots of your people, your labor, your demographics, and your departments.
  • There are often trip-ups with their Accrual system and how it "speaks" to the Payroll platform.
  • Reporting errors occur often and without any explanation or suggestions for correcting.
  • The initial sign up process for new hires is in Spanish, which isn't the best for the hospitality industry.
Paycor is great for companies and organizations looking to better manage their people, their pay, and track their coaching.

We use Paycor across the whole organization. Paycor allows us to have one place to keep all employee data, timekeeping, scheduling, and coaching sessions.
  • Time and attendance tracking
  • Reporting

  • Adding of custom fields
  • Employee self-service
  • Company News
  • Scheduling system
  • Leave of absence tracking
  • Benefit system
As with any HRIS system, there are always going to be hiccups. I have used this system with a small company (50-100 employees) with one location as well as a large company (1500+) with over 100 locations. Their cost is very affordable. When we switched to Paycor, we saved about $10,000 in our first year and that included the implementation fees. If you are looking for a system that will link to other industry systems, this may not be a good fit, but if you need one system to handle all your needs, this is a product you want to check out.

All four of our companies use Paycor for payroll, time & attendance, HR, and applicant tracking/onboarding. All management utilizes Paycor to manage their team's weekly timesheets and to recruit new team members. Human Resources uses it for payroll and tax purposes. We integrate with Newton Software (applicant tracking) and Employee Navigator (employee benefits).
  • The Paycor team is always friendly.
  • Easy to work with.
  • Quarterly updates always keep their website fresh and updated.
  • We've had some tax issues where we have over paid and underpaid both.
  • Response time has slowed down, but I think it was more or less due to COVID.
  • I understand why they did it, but I hate that they moved away from a personal account CSR. Now you have to email a generic support email and someone will get back to you.
Paycor has been a great company to work with and I have met a lot of great people. They value my opinion and have asked for my participation on project ideas and demos for upcoming releases. I love that they update their website quarterly so that is always new and fresh. I also love their feedback section so you can make suggestions and vote on what's important to you.

We use Paycor as our HR administration and for our employees to use. It allows us to communicate with our employees and for them to access their information from home.
  • Answers my concerns.
  • Allows our EE's to access their information from anywhere.
  • User-friendly
  • Online training for management.
  • COVID changed the customer service. They're working to improve it.
  • Time & attendance reporting isn't the easiest to use.
  • Employees without a business or personal email aren't able to register for Paycor.
They listen to their customer's suggestions and ideas! It's amazing to offer an idea and they ask questions and listen to my suggestions. Paycor has a "Give Feedback" section that you can put your ideas and suggestions on.

Paycor is being used across our teams for payroll, time & attendance, scheduling, onboarding and reporting.
This system has allowed us to become more effective and efficient with our payroll processes.
  • Time keeping.
  • Payroll processing.
  • Asking for feedback from users.
  • Customer support- no longer have a dedicated contact person for questions or issues with the system. Have to call or email and wait for a response. This was one of the main reasons we switched to Paycor because our last provider did not have great customer support.
  • Pulling reports can be challenging. Formatting of reports looks different than the payroll reports when trying to run reports outside the pay period scope.
  • Timesheet view can be difficult to adjust to, especially if you have used other payroll systems. Have to navigate thru different screens depending on what information you are looking for it want to input. A cleaner, lore user friendly timesheet view would be beneficial.
Well suited for small businesses, with under 100 employees, lots of options for a well rounded HRIS.
I think the system would be more challenging to implement for larger companies due to the amount of manual adjustments that we had to do when importing employee data from our previous payroll system. There are several manual processes on the employee data side that would be very time consuming with larger numbers of employees.

Paycor is being used by all three departments for their time tracking, clocking in remotely thorough our phones or tablets. We utilize their analytics and reporting features, and of course, we use them for our payroll service. Through them, we also use Hiretech, which helps us receive additional work credits from our employees. It maximizes time spent on payroll processing, allows for learning from their webinars and quick access to employee information through their reporting features.
  • Quick customer service
  • Attentive to needs
  • Reliable check delivery
  • Website is consistent
  • Reporting features need additional TLC
  • More instruction with mapping pay codes to accounting software.
  • More intuitive analytics.
The service has been very attentive and quick to rectify any issues that the company has and has escalated. They process payroll and don't seem to make mistakes with employee checks, garnishments, or taxes.

Paycor is being used across our entire organization for various functions. Our main functions are Onboarding, Recruiting, Payroll, Time & Attendance, Tax reporting and so much more. Before Paycor, our issues were mainly centered around faulty products and poor customer service. After signing up with Paycor, the issues we had prior are no longer there. Having a system that works isn't too much to ask for, but having a product that goes above your expectations is amazing!
  • Customer support. Their support team are very knowledgeable subject matter experts.
  • Providing a very user friendly interface that allows virtually anyone to grasp.
  • I've always wanted to have a universal calendar that all employees can access or see on their dashboard that reflects birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc.
Paycor's payroll product is great. Since implementing the payroll product, I have saved countless hours per month on processing payrolls. I think the HR platform could be a tad more robust. It's great to house employee documents and whatnot, but I wish the employees had more resources or items available to them.

We use Paycor across our whole company in a number of different ways. In our stores, we use the LMS system a lot for training our employees. I think the biggest thing it does is streamline processes from onboarding to performance reviews.
  • Ease of use.
  • Listens to clients about what needs updating.
  • Is always coming up with new ways to make things easier.
  • When they do updates I would like more warning.
  • Customer service since Covid has been harder to deal with.
The benefits suite has been a lifesaver when it comes to open enrollment. It saves us a ton of time and we no longer have to send out packets to each employee to talk about money savings. A con was they did an update on Time & Attendance and it caused more issues then it solved.

We switched from another payroll company to Paycor 2 years ago. We switched in anticipation of an upcoming merger with another organization. Both organizations switched to Paycor 3 months before the merger, and then we merged the two accounts together into one. We use Paycor to process our payroll for around 250 employees.
  • Paycor offers options for our employees to be self-sufficient and in control of their personal information.
  • Paycor has made us more efficient in our hiring process through their onboarding feature.
  • Our process is more streamlined from our previous provider and saves us a lot of time.
  • I would like to see improvement in the reporting features. We can pull almost all of the data we need, but sometimes it has to be pulled on several reports and then we have to combine the data manually.
  • Paycor's Accrual tracking is confusing. The balance employees see online takes in to consideration approved time off, but does not take future time accrued in to consideration. I wish it just showed a live balance, or a balance that took the time off request and time earned both in to consideration. Bonus points if you could change the view and see both!
  • I like the old view when looking at our Dashboard, not the new view. It would be nice to be able to keep both choices based on the viewers preference.
Paycor has saved us time and money since switching. They are accurate, and the information that we receive from client services is accurate and helpful. We are always able to reach someone when calling in, and we receive responses in a timely manner. Even though we have had multiple reps, we always get the help we need.

Paycor is used across our entire organization to streamline and simplify HR processes and people management in two facilities. Paycor's robust analytics enables us to make effective business decisions that have an impact on the lives of our staff; and they keep getting better. Labor distribution, turnover, and benefits analytics are the key reports that help us make budget decisions, benefits, and talent acquisition needs.
  • One of Paycor's strengths is that they continually strive to meet the needs of their partner companies (customers). I can always count on them working to make things better and introducing updates and products users actually want and need.
  • Customer Service is another strength. They are timely, responsive, and strive to get you the right answer instead of guess.
  • Another strength is that Paycor wants to partner with its customers. As a customer, I do not feel that we are just another number. I feel as if they genuinely want to listen and value what I have to say. They offer a variety of avenues to share your feedback and concerns.
  • One area for improvement is in Performance Management and Succession Planning. There Performance Management product is fairly basic and we struggle with functionality, especially if a workflow is enabled. There is no Succession Planning feature at all.
  • Functionality could be improved on the time off requests. Employees can't request time off if it spans over two weeks, i.e. a weekend is involved, without the system assigning PTO to a weekend, which the employee does not work. This means the employee must submit separate requests around the weekend. Our previous system allowed the employee to check a box to exclude Saturday and Sunday, so they only had to submit one request.
Paycor is well suited for small to mid-sized businesses where their HR needs are standard and simple. Paycor is less appropriate for organizations that have more complex or robust HR needs: comprehensive performance management and succession planning, more flexibility for the types of employees (PT, FT, Temp), and a PTO system that can match our process. We had to rewrite some parts of our PTO process because Paycor's system could not match it, whereas our previous provider could.

We use Paycor across the whole organization. We got Paycor to be able to do time & attendance, track attendance points, and keep employee records in one place.
  • Sales - they have a great sales team and the sales rep is involved longer than just the sale.
  • Pay Stubs - the pay stubs are easy to read.
  • Attendance - They have yet to get back to our company on how to add schedules and track attendance points.
  • Customer Service - Nobody seems to want to get back to you when you have an issue or need help with something except the sales person who is limited on what they can do.
  • Employee documentation - They have not helped us get the record keeping for employees going.
  • Training - They are always happy to schedule training and webinars but never allow for time to ask questions.
I would not recommend Paycor to anyone, not even small business. Paycor probably has a great system they just don't really want to help anyone learn the product or help find a solution to your needs.

HATE IT! Other software I've used in the past (some over a decade ago) has far more features than Paycor does - and it's 2020! It's NOT user friendly. It's not management friendly. It's flat out awful!!! I've used over 5 different payroll/time-card systems and this is my LEAST favorite.

We ALL keep a running list of reasons why we want to switch to ANY other company and are awaiting the day the owners are ready to hear our complaints so we can make a switch for the better. I do NOT recommend Paycor - not even on its best day.
The viewing capabilities for managers, managers of managers - we are constantly having to rig it to work for us. We make notations on timecards that can be deleted - even by the employee themselves. The ease of deleting documents can be done by anyone which is frightening!! The vast difference between the app and the website, makes no sense: you can do some things on the site and some things on the app that you can't do on the other. The accrual system is complete trash. The calculation system is flawed, to say the least. The rollover options for PTO/sick time are non-existent. We constantly have to manually adjust these things. All in all, I seriously dislike the system and so does everyone else.

Our whole organization uses Newton Applicant Tracking System. We use it for all job posting, tracking of applicants, and hiring of applicants. We love the system because it allows us to send the resumes through to the managers without a new email, and they can respond with there thoughts in one hashtag, which is fantastic. We also use it for all of the analytic features that it has. It has helped show how many interviews we do and how many people apply for the various job postings.
  • One Word hashtags to tell the recruiter what to do
  • Tracking of applicants, if they have applied before, what there score was, if we should interview/re-interview.
  • Analytics
  • Scorecards! We love this feature as it allows the managers to score each applicant.
  • Sometimes after an update, the tool has hiccups
  • People tend to have issues applying through a cell phone
  • There are issues with applying using Apple products from time to time
If you are looking for a great tracking tool that is easy to use if you want analytics to what you are doing on your recruiting efforts, and if you want an easy system that allows you to send resumes without using a separate email. If you like setting up phone interviews through outlook, the system will enable you to do that if you are looking for a tool that has a 24-hour help desk!

Paycor is being used as a payroll and HRIS system across the entire organization. The application manages payroll as a primary function. Additionally, the system is being used to track benefits and store employee documents (ie, child support orders, etc.). We utilize the application to generate reports that help manage the business as well.
  • Accuracy of processing payroll
  • Sales Reps are excellent to work with
  • Reporting functionality
  • Customer Service
Smaller organizations with very little complexity for payroll. Organizations that do not have a need to generate very many reports on a regular basis, particularly reports that are rather complex or complicated. It is a great system for smaller companies who don't have a need to contact customer service very often. The customer service representatives are very, very nice but the wait time to get to speak with one is growing increasingly frustrating.

We use Paycor for our daily time clock, payroll, and PTO calculations for our company. Paycor has access for employees to use an app for checking time and requesting time off. Paycor also helps us with ACA IRS filling and makes it so much easier. It makes the human resource side so much easier. It is all automatic and you can run different reports to help with anything you need.
  • Tutorials for help in many different departments
  • ACA IRS filing
  • If an employee forgets to clock in or out, sometimes we are not alerted
  • Some features have been updated but not all of them
Paycor always has someone available to help. You can call and get the help you need at any time. Paycor is great for a large company with lots of moving parts. You have the ability to clock in from anywhere with the app and it can help with off-site employees.

We use Paycor as our HRIS/Payroll vendor and also utilize some of their integrated services such as Litmos (LMS) and Newton (ATS). It helps us with reporting and tracking of HR/Payroll data and we like the integration between the LMS and ATS options. It has eliminated the need for multiple spreadsheets we had previously used.
  • They make frequent updates to their systems which helps usability.
  • The reporting options are easy to use.
  • Navigation is simple within the tool.
  • For employees in the HRIS side trying to make updates to their direct deposit, it is confusing for them to have to overwrite their Primary Net Account instead of being able to select a new account they added to their list of options.
  • The addition of an Employee Health set of fields for tracking of annually required items (flu shots) or health-related vaccines would be very nice.
  • Implementation of the product appeared easy at first, but the reality was that the easiness actually created issues that could have been identified or set up to meet our expectations if there had been more dialogue back and forth during the process.
Paycor is a good fit for a small to mid-size company that is looking for user-friendly options. It has really helpful resource guides that can walk you through various parts of the platform where you are trying to accomplish a task. There is not a "hand-holding" experience with the implementation or initial usage so a company needs to have a pro-active person involved in these steps in order to ask lots of questions and make sure you fully understand what functionality you are getting.

Our entire organization uses it for multistate payroll (Ohio and Indiana). It processes payroll for our organization.
  • Customer service. Agents usually get back to me within the day.
  • Tax service. When have issues with tax penalties, Paycor reps research and get back with answers quickly.
  • 401k. Works with our agent, Principal to automatically credit deductions and add employer matching per pay period.
  • Reports not working correctly. Quite often, when I run a report, it comes back with no information available or an error. When I run it again with the same info, it works.
  • The website crashes frequently. When processing payroll, quite often the website crashes and kicks me out of the payroll that I am working on.
  • Reports are not easy to personalize. We sometimes need specific info on wages etc. Paycor reports do not just allow you to do a ytd report on all wages. Must go in and add or delete wage categories individually.
  • Well suited for simple payroll.
  • Not suited for complicated ones.

Currently we use Paycor for their payroll system and it is used by the whole organization. We use the onboarding feature since we hire seasonally around 120 employees. Paycor allows us to be able to send them an email and it has the feature where we can make certain blocks of information required.
  • Paycor currently has an onboarding feature where we as the hiring agent are able to utilize and send out to any of our new hires. It's extremely helpful to not have to track down their paperwork that they may or may not have filled out. This way we have an electronic copy and no one has to second guess.
  • If it was possible to make it to where the administrator can make changes to the onboarding before it is run through. There is certain information that our staff may bring for their I-9 which we require online but I am not able to update it. Many times after they come here because of the nature of our work they may not be able to get to a computer for another three months.
Paycor is well suited for companies who have a large amount of employee turnover. Currently we have a three month period where we hire around 120 people and the on boarding feature makes it manageable for us to make sure that we have all of the information that is necessary. For other companies who also have a wide turnover rate it is helpful to be able to keep track of hire dates and relevant employee information.

Paycor is being used as a time tracking device for hourly employees and a job costing aid for our software development process for our engineers. It allows us to capture time precisely and be able to run reports based on that data. We also use it for our open enrollment, benefit elections, and a general area to house all of our payroll and some HR related items within each employee's profile. We have not completely transitioned to doing all of our company-wide reviews on there, but it is very helpful to have a complete product fill all of our needs.
  • A dedicated representative to help with any of our questions and concerns that is familiar with our account.
  • The ability to do job costing and run reports based on that data.
  • Allowing our employees to have flexibility on their time cards with having the mobile punch option.
  • We had a bit of an issue with our representative at the beginning of not communicating well, however, we have a new rep and she is wonderful!
  • Reporting could use some work, there are a ton of reports, but there aren't specific items that I need, like running a census that allows me to see which state each employee is located in for our State reporting requirements.
  • Reporting again usually has some bugs that are associated with it, so it will sometimes take me quite a while to run a report that has a lot of data on it for our job costing.
  • Foreign payroll would be nice to have and the ability to allow for PTO accruals and time tracking for our foreign employees.
Paycor really has fulfilled quite a lot of our needs. One of the issues we have come across though is that we are not able to run foreign payroll out of it, so we aren't able to effectively track our foreign employee's PTO out of it either. I understand the reason why it doesn't roll properly, but it would be nice if Paycor, in the future, can become more diversified to be able to handle all of our foreign employee payrolls.

We use Paycor for onboarding, and it saves us from having paper files.
  • I can call Paycor, or email them, and they help me right away.
  • Health enrollments are done through Paycor, and it's very easy for employees to sign up.
  • Employees can update personal information and see their vacation days. With ADP I would have to do all those things for them.
  • I have trouble running reports, as they have lots filters.
Paycor has excellent customer service. Holly, my current account manager, is quick to respond to my issues.
