the usability of the system is very easy. The look of paycor is a very user friendly and most of our employees find it easy to navigate their way thru things. There are some things that are labeled differently now that can cause some confusion on where it went to

Overall, Paycor from a managment standpoint is quite user friendly. Day-to-day tasks such as time sheet approvals, time request off management, and processing Payroll are quick and easy. The reporting can be a bit tedious and is not very intuitive.
Paycor from an employee user standpoint is also overal fairly user friendly. It is easy to view your schedule and your team's. Time off request are easy to submit and review. Reviewing remaining time off can be confusing and could use improvement. We find employees frequently needing to confirm their remaining time off when submitting new time off requests.

Unfortunately, Paycor has a major system issue that in my opinion needs to totally be reconfigured. The benefit module is not accurate and does not work correctly. The EDI feeds do not work and took over a year to be implemented and still were not accurate.

There were a few implementation issues that we had to work out. As with any big change, nothing is seamless, although overall it went as well as can be expected.

Seems useable if you know what you’re doing. However,, we don’t, and I'm sure other companies have a similar situation where the HR team has had 100% turnover since paycor implementation with zero follow up training except the 1000 hrs. of available training in the online library that none of us have the time to do... The only webinar I participated in was instructor led group, not one on one and paycor is so customizable that everyone has their own specific questions and the trainer can't answer them all, or it is a specific trainer for one aspect of Paycor and can't answer integration questions...

Overall, we are happy with the many services and experiences Paycor has provided for us and our employees. If I don't know how to do something, I can always call support and get the answers, support and done with kindness.

Just the fact that Paycor has everything that we need to feed to one place is amazing. With Scheduling, timekeeping, payroll, reporting, analytics, HR compliance, training, hiring, performance, onboarding, benefits, and resources. i am sure there are other produce that we are not even using yet that Paycor is offering.

I believe there are areas where Paycor could increase the overall usability, and by attending the Summit, it looks like there are a lot of great tools on the roadmap from Paycor, which is exciting.

I was able to experience this software and now know at this point in time how much it has improved my performance and my co-worker's performance. Paycor has been a great aid for a project that just started; while I didn't use the full spectrum of tools that the software offers, I am one hundred percent sure that it will make a positive change in any task force.

Paycor is incredibly user friendly and easy to use. They have a slew of resources available for admins to learn the products and guides to walk you through various functions of the systems. In cases where the guides are harder to follow or lacking full details and instructions, the support team has been an incredible help at walking through the challenges with us.

Most areas of paycor are user friendly, with the time entry medias being the least user friendly. The accrual system is good most of the year, but seems to consistently have hang-ups around fiscal year end or someone’s anniversary date.
