(76-100 of 326)The pros and cons of Paycor from multiple views
- Scheduling
- Payroll
- Time and Attendance
- Reporting
- Homepage
- Manager access
There's always more they can do for you!
- Customer Service
- Adapting to new suggestions from clients
- Recruiting is not super user friendly and could use some more clarity in the formatting of the pages and how to navigate between jobs/candidates.
- Onboarding should include paperless opt-in and it would be nice to do benefits through there too
Paycor is an upcoming HRIS Platform!
- User Friendly
- Easy to use
- Mobile friendly
- Reporting lacks customization
- Unable to customize most fields
- Would like to customize reminders & notifications
Paycor rocks
- Time and attendance-the time clocks are easy to set up and use, the employees can look at their hours on the PayCor app. They will even come to me and tell me when there is a problem, which saves ma a ton of time trying to track down solutions.
- Onboarding-no more paper! Yay! Employees register and log into PayCor, fill out everything necessary before they even come to work. I don't spend time chasing down IDs or tax forms.
- Payroll-so easy! Dump time cards right into the pay grid and move along.
- Third shift hours are sometimes difficult to track, especially when there is OT. The punches sometimes need to be tweaked to get the totals to work properly.
- The reports are great, the report builder could use some improvement. I have been able to get what I need from regular reports, so it hasn't been an issue.
- The knowledge base is very basic. I usually have to engage customer service when I need to update or change something.
Paycor Saved me Time and Money.
I have used multiple systems in my career spanning over 20 plus years, and found Paycor to be the most useful and adaptable.

Paycor Reviews!!
- onboarding
- payroll
- recruitment
- recording detailed history
- customer service
Paycor is a versatile platform, excellent for payroll and human resources management.
Paycor provides flexibility and security in all human resources processes, with Paycor it is very easy to access the history of our employees, we can create an unlimited number of fully customized reports and share them with staff from different departments.
- Payroll control.
- Staff control.
- Recruitment management.
- Performance review.
- Synchronization with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT.
- Limited integrations.
- The insurance settings are confusing.
Horrible Service Today.....was good two years ago.
- standard payrun
- phone support is horrible: you will wait minimum of an hour online to talk with someone who can't help then will transfer you to another person where you will wait another hour or two
- portal is confusing, complicated,
- online self-support & help on portal is horrible
If you just do basic payroll and have no need for ANY help...ever then their portal is just ok. I would suggest trying another company. When i first signed up with this company support was good, but they have grown and are now implementing a BIG corporate strategy of maximizing revenue at the cost of horrible service to their customers. They reskinned their portal to be needlessly and overly complex. And their support both online and by phone is terrible!
Really supportive company and easy to use system!
- Easy to read metrics for applicant tracking
- Easy to launch and report on reviews
- Easy to integrate benefits to payroll
- Time: It is very difficult to have set blackout dates or customized holidays
Paycor - Switching Off After 1 Year
- Cheaper than others.
- Timely remittance of payroll taxes - penalties assessed to customers.
- Reporting function is from the early 2000's it seems.
- Visibility into time off of other employees.
Paycor-- Really good
- Payroll
- Tax Updates
- Report Writing
- Time and Attendance
- Ease of use by casual users (employees)
- Better communication on tickets
- Adding more capability in diacritical marks (accents)
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
- Easy to use
- Pretty good list of standard reports
- It has been running really slow lately. Not sure if it has anything to do with updates
- Too many updates, not as user friendly to navigate.
Somehow too robust, and not customizable enough for our SMB
- 360 integration with Empower Retirement (401k)
- Standard process for running payroll, easy to use/learn
- Customer service, especially post-COVID
- There was a recent change to the time off accrual system, which we weren't aware of, and everyone's PTO balances were wiped out overnight.
- The updates don't seem to benefit functionality much, are simply different, not really improved
