Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

The system is set up so you can easily find the data you are looking for, from company administration to employee administration. I'm not going to say that there were times I didn't think the system would do what I need but the Paycor Support Team and the Paycor training/help section provided the necessary resources for me to learn what I needed.

Paycor is very user-friendly. They offer a variety of training programs to walk you through different areas of their programs, but it's so user-friendly, you can usually figure things out without having to utilize the training courses.

Navigating the system can be challenging at first, the customer service support is difficult to get ahold of quickly, the reporting function can be cumbersome to navigate to find the right report with the data needed, the scheduling integration took some troubleshooting to get data and functions set up correctly. Overall the system is useful and functional for our payroll, onboarding, and scheduling needs.

I think Paycor's user experience interface is fantastic. I feel people who might not be so tech-savvy have an easy time navigating the system and figuring things out on their own. From an administrator perspective, I feel that the UI is great as well. I love the look of the payroll grid and how it can display anything that I might want it to for a quick high-level overview.

It is very easy to use and very intuitive. However, if there is something you can't figure out, they have a ton of training you can do. You can also look at their community if you want to ask for help from other users. They also get back to you within 48 hours if you need to contact support.

Paycor is very user friendly. Making data easy to view for employees, and for administrators. The score reflects the opportunity for improvement in the accrual display for time off. This could be improved for both administrators and employees. Regardless though, more user friendly than our previous provider. Love that Paycor is constantly making improvements based on feedback.

Our employees find Paycor to be much easier to use than previous systems. Managers struggle with Time and Attendance sometimes when they can't remove PTO or someone works an overnight shift and the manager needs to fix a punch but it keeps going to the wrong day. From an HR point of view, the system is extremely easy to use and navigate.

Paycor is easy to use with the training they provide. If you need help there are a lot of different avenues for help. You can call the help desk, online tutorials, or they also have a knowledge base with many different levels of help. You always have options.

Paycor is easy to use, but just like all programs can always do with a little bit of tweaking. The wizard for the setup would be nice it if was a little more straight forward in the configurations where to find things that we would like to update. It would be helpful to view the changes before leaving the config page.

The usability is great! I love how we are able to get immediate reporting after payroll is run. I love the fact that we are able to get a general ledger export after every payroll that has been customized so there is very little time associated with trying to edit a journal entry to get it usable into our system. It has allowed us to save time on creating journal entries, job costing reporting has been a huge help, and the ability to have so much flexibility on reporting. This product really has saved us time and a ton of headaches!
