Sierra Wilson

Paycor Specialist in Human Resources at Collier Development Co. (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paycor for everything employee related. We are running into issues with scheduling and wanting department managers to create schedules but not publish. Then have the property manager approve and then publish the schedule. We also have people with issues in onboarding that we cannot help them with, therefore we have to delete and resend

Pros

Employee Profile
Analytics
LMS

Cons

Scheduling

Return on Investment

Freed up time having to find a physical employee file

Jason Chung

HR Generalist in Human Resources at The Appointment Group LLC (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it in almost every aspect of HR. From ATS to LMS to Payroll to Performance Management. I really like how everything is centralized here and it has helped us move away from using poorly designed documents and paper forms. It is relatively easy for employees to also log in and get access to their accounts. There isn't 100 versions of it like ADP where someone is logging into the wrong software.

Pros

Payroll
Applicant Tracking System
Performance Management

Cons

Customer Service
Benefits Advisor
Better updates

Return on Investment

Recruitment has been way better and wasting less time
EDI feeds connecting with BA is helpful
LMS has been useful but I think it is also a bit misleading and some trainings are just useless or poorly designed.

Mary Esque

HR Administrator in Human Resources at Beeson Hardware (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This was our HRIS and payroll system. It addressed the need to pay employees on time and file timely tax returns with the state and federal government.

Pros

Mobile app
Payroll was simplified
Could call and ask for help

Cons

Fraud alerts led to employees being paid late
Reporting section was a NIGHTMARE
Did not file taxes correctly.

Return on Investment

In our experience, Paid employees late so everyone from the President to the janitor was angry about that. I lost days of work dealing with the fallout of that.
In our experience, Did not expedite payment to our employees at their expense given that they caused the situation that led to our employees to be paid late.
Was fine for processing payroll until we were doing year end adjustments.

Verified User

General Manager in Corporate (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paycor for payroll, timetracking, as well as onboarding and recruiting of candidates. These modules allow us to streamline critical processes at the organization and build a process that will survive transitions in the team. By digitizing the process and layering a simple to use UX, both new and experienced employees can successfully complete the work with moderate levels of training.

Pros

Great user UX
Simple to use from a user perspective once a system is setup
Robust approvals and control systems

Cons

The backend implementation is extremely complex and requires too much trial and error
The implementation team is stretched thin and when onboarding new customers, they fall behind
Their hours of operations need to be longer to cover an earlier start and later start. Also, in my experience, their support representatives are not well trained nor do they understand the product well.
