  • Scalability
  • Ease of Use
Ease of use was by far the most important factor. We don't have a lot of time to handhold the employees through this system and we need everyone to be able to use it. The ability that most people can understand it with just basic training was huge for us. They also provide trainings for more detailed processes and our users appreciate that.

Price was a big issue, as we're a non profit and can't afford some of the bigger ticket software companies. However, we were really in need to go more digital and automate some of the things were were doing manually.

Initially, we went with Paycor over another company due to a personal relationship with someone who worked at Paycor. Since then, I have found it to be very easy to use at a price that is comparable to other companies. The online ability to make payroll has allowed me to perform payroll services in our local office, the woods of Upper Peninsula and in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship. It has given me a ton of flexibility and great family time while still performing my work.

Good value

We are a church and have specific tax regulations that apply to clergy. We needed a company that had prior experience with churches.

Product usability is our highest one. Anything that reduces the time we have to spend on manual entry is great! Reducing payroll process time, 401K administration, and benefit[s] enrollment are key things for us.

Great Product.

Honestly, the single most important factor in choosing a new vendor was the Customer Service experience. We reviewed several products and did a lot of reference checking. Paycor came out on top for customer service.

Ease of use for the employee experience and ease of use for Managers or Supervisors was very important to us when making this decision. We did several previews of other payroll providers and Paycor offered a lot of what we were looking for. We did have a preview of several different payroll providers.

Ease of use. Paycor was used by previous employee and she knew how to use it. We use it because it did not require additional training time on other software.

It is not listed, but dependability. I rely on Paycor to provide me with updated regulations, laws and guide me through the process. It is their specialty and I trust them to help me when I am busy; to obtain accurate information for tax purposes as well as data for personnel files for compliance.

The features and the service promises were the two most important reasons to switch. The price was slightly better than the old vendor, and price is very important. But I needed something easier for me to use and easier for me to teach our store managers and supervisors.
