I wasn't around for the initial implementation. However, any time we do a mini module upgrade we try to beta test it with employees first. Making sure you have the training materials ready to share is also helpful. Then, make sure you have time blocked during implementation for any issues.

Good value

It would be helpful to the client to have better direct access to the Paycor department that handles GL mapping.

Excellent product

If you don't have a simple, straight forward payroll scenario, don't use Paycor.

A well rewarded change

Make sure Paycor realizes the importance of having your GL set up and to you in a timely fashion. Ours was so delayed, I had to approach our salesperson from Paycor and get him to push the issue up several management levels.

Payroll processing finally doesn't give me a headache

Implementation of any new software is going to be challenging, especially if you are maintaining an existing program concurrently. When it is time for dual-processing (both old and new software) prior to going live, be prepared to be stressed. But trust the process and it will be over soon.

Paycor delivers!

I've been through a payroll software implementation multiple times in my career, ranging from upgrades to an existing platform to complete replacement of providers. This implementation was the easiest from the standpoint of confidence in my implementation personnel. The implementation consultants at Paycor were AMAZINGLY knowledgeable about the software and offered us advice at every step of the way. We never had any concerns that they didn't know what we wanted or needed.

Really think through your current processes. Some things need to be updated as you go through the implementation. That is really easier than making a change after the implementation is completed!
