Reviews
(26-50 of 325)Paycor is Excellent!
- The system is easy to use
- Customer service is horrible.
I have reached the promised land with Paycor
- Ease of use
- Constantly trying to update the product
- HR support module is very nice.
- Trying to find how-to’s within its resource area is not intuitive at all. If you type “how to set up….. anything”, I never get the right answer the first time I go looking for the answer. 9.9% of the time I end up calling the help desk. There should be a simple “how-to’s” section that I can drill into, to find my answer.
- Report building is still cumbersome. Running a simple report like list all my full time, part time employees by their title and then by salary, so I can verify that all my people are in the correct pay band, is still not easy to run. If it is available, then, I haven’t learned how to get that out of the system. Sometimes the simplest ask is the hardest to find the answer to.
- I wish how they charged us was different. Just seems like we are being “nickeled and dimed” for every little thing. There are some functionalities that I would like but because 3/4 of the staff have to do things one way, it’s not cost effective for the other 1/4 to be able to use a section, like performance management, when we are going to be charged by the total number of active employees - rather than total number of active employees in this department…. Therefore we are not using some of your products that would be very helpful and needed by 1/4th of our organization.
The system is easy to use and understand. I would appreciate more “how to” type documents to drill into rather than having to call the help desk. However, I have nothing but good things to say about the help desk - they are very knowledgeable and if they don’t know the answer, they escalate it to someone who can.
Thank you Paycor!

Paycor for a medium sized veterinary practice
Having scheduling and Payroll rolled into one system has made both things much more efficient. Time sheets are easily managed and matched to the employee's schedule to ensure eveyrthing is accurate. Both scheduling and Payroll are much easier and efficient.
- Scheduling for management is well organized and easily visualized to ensure proper coverage while avoiding overtime or being over staffed.
- Scheduling for the employees is user friendly. Employees can easily request and view their time off. They can also view their schedule along with their team's at any time.
- Some of the reporting can be difficult to navigate.
- Time off remaining for employees can be a bit confusing in the beginning. The way Paycor calculates time off remaining, it deducts any approved upcoming time off, which can be misleading for employees trying to determine how much time they truly have remaining in the moment.
Paycor could use some work.
- Collecting and saving HR documents
- Accessing demographic information on your employees with ease
- Processing payroll
- From my experience, modules are not communicating with each other, need a more seamless system.
- In my opinion, the system is too slow, many times it kicks you out or you cannot use it during payroll weeks.
- Have to input same data in several places due to system setup.
Paycor is a timesaver.
- Use of the timekeeping module allows for accurate accounting of hours
- Payroll is seamless and intuitive
- Having all the HR in one database is helpful for managing our employees
- Still getting used to the system but I would like to see more customization in the report building module.
- Ability to add direct deposit information to the mobile app
- Reduction of security questions to set up mobile accounts.
Paycor Growth Potential
- Customer Service is very attentive
- Payroll management is great
- Sales Representatives are very helpful
- Client Interfacing, it would be nice to have a designated client assigned representative to reach out to. I've had that with other companies and it's a game changer!
- More one on one system training options with a client representative
Paycor pays for itself!
- Payroll
- FMLA leave and tracking
- Recruiting and job management
- Implementation follow through
- Help with implementing additional features in my opinion- not just leaving it as - self implementation in my opinion- it’s a big system so I believe they should help us through it
- The modules should be narrated/ not read only in my opinion.
- Read and respond to your message biards
It's a timesaver!!
- Compliance updates
- Webinars
- Recruiting Pro
- Paycor Scheduling
- Timely customer support responses
- Streamlined integration processes
- Structured access and registration process
Integrating to new problem is a bit clumsy. There are different people for every program and the communication between everyone isn't good.
Shaky Ground
- Recruiting
- Payroll relatively simple
- New accruals better
- Reporting, historical
- Too many steps with onboarding
- Fixes when errors occur take forever to be resolved
Relative, but needs a little improvement, in my opinion.
- Reporting
- Keeping up to date with regulations.
- Support
- In my experience, time and Attendance is hard for managers to navigate.
- In my experience, often Customer Service does not return calls.
- In my opinion, they want us to try to figure out things on our own.
Honest assessment
- Allowing for customization
- Customer account management to a degree...
- Online training resources
- Integration between platforms like Paycor recruiting
- One on one customer support scheduling
- Ease of Reporting
- Some items seem like they could be useful, but not sure of the purpose - like job descriptions.
- Process for promotions?
Paycor is worth consideration.
- Payroll
- Earning & deductions.
- Time & attendance.
- Good Support!
- Benefits on the backend can be challenging, but it has improved some.
- Custom reports can be a challenge if there are more criteria/filters.
Cost Savings!!!
- Responsive
- User Friendly
- Continous Improvments
- Communication
- Chatting with cutomer service
- Wait time when calling customer service
Paycor review

software. We use most of the modules except for Performance management, scheduling and Learning Management System. Used for applicant tracking system: give Paycor high marks for this. I have used the Paycor onboarding in the past at previous companies, main issue is that if an employee is hired in error there is no way to delete that new hire. Have to term them which skews reporting data. Have used performance management at prior companies and had no issues.

Paycor dominates Paycom
Team 1:1’s + Reviews
- Easy to navigate, we came from Paycom and Paycor’s ease of use is superior to Paycom
- 1:1 templates and overall employee performance management makes my life easier
- HR loves this tool where as we heard constant complaints before
- In the recruiting module I feel the layout could improve, time sink that you have to click around so much to get from one document to the next
- Recruiting area is cumbersome and requires a lot of time for the user where other areas do not in my opinion
the recruiting area is where I struggle the most
