We use Paycor for payroll, recruiting, time scheduling, and onboarding. Every employee uses the program every day. We find the programs perfect for our needs; however, customer service is severely lacking. Chat is useless, and getting a hold of someone who can answer your question or fix your problem quickly is next to impossible.

Superb Customer Service

My organization uses Paycor for payroll, benefits, recruiting, and organization development. Paycor is our main source for our HRIS. Our employees use it for time keeping and scheduling time off.

We used Paycor as our HRIS and payroll systems. We have five legal entities that all use Paycor. In my opinion, it is absolutely horrible, we finally left them, and, in our experience, they couldn't even handle our cancellation effectively.

We use it as a time clock, PTO management, and payroll. There is also functions for W2 management, as well as employee management. The ease of use for this product is insurmountable. All employees use it every day and they have reported that it is incredibly easy to use and are happy with it.

I have no problems, but I would like it to be more self-service. I would like to have the option of keeping some of the reports that have sunset. These reports were very user-friendly and served their purpose without having to create them manually. I would like to have that option returned.

Great Platform for Payroll.

We use Paycor for Payroll and Learning Management. The onboarding platform has helped out a lot. There were a few little issues with employees doing it on cell phones, but other than that, it’s been great! It's easy to use and navigate. It's nice to be able to recognize some of our employees through the app as well. We look forward to utilizing the learning management software with different types of training for our staff and leadership team while staying compliant with our state.

We currently use Paycor for the scheduling, time & attendance, payroll, ATS and onboarding features. These address our needs to track and house employee data, pay employees timely and correctly, as well as recruit and onboard new employees. Our HR team, myself included, use Paycor daily.

We use it for payroll, time, recruiting, and now pulse. We want a one stop shop to be able to grow our employee experience and education. It works for the most part. There are pain points but we are still learning how to use it. But there are 2 of us in our department. Which means not a lot of learning or education on “how to” is available .

We have used them twice a month since 2018. It was great until 2023, when I believe all of these extra charges came about. IN my experience, they charge you these extra charges but refuse to give a refund. I personally feel that Paycor is basically stealing money. It's been going on for over a year. Their product is great, but I believe the way they go about it now is theft. I took all three of my businesses away from them.

Currently, we have time management and benefits as our main functions. We use the recruiting platform and the performance dashboard. We are working to get our group to use the product more - actually using the 1:1 features and goals/objectives. We are looking to build a little curriculum for leadership with some of the learning in Paycor.

We use Paycor for payroll and benefits management. It is a useful tool for managing employees, but we continue to look for ways to better utilize Paycor products. I am new to human resources, so using Paycor in this capacity (rather than just as an employee) is still new to me.

Paycor is used as our HR hub for our employees and data records for our subcontractors. The program has been pretty easy to use with just a couple of hiccups along the way. One being their benefits end. There is a ton of work that is asked to be able to implement benefits that shouldn't be asked of us as the client. It should be the client providing the information and Paycor doing the building and other items requested, as most places don't know what they are looking for due to knowledge of what is being asked.

Rise is using Paycor as a holistic HRIS system. Before, we did not have any real/organized systems or processes in place for hiring, onboarding, paying out, or maintaining employee records. Now, we can easily hire people easily and create a seamless onboarding process, allowing us to communicate more effectively with new hires. With the organization scaling this year to more employees and contractors, this system is instrumental in keeping everything efficient.

We have a small company with typically about five employees. We use Paycor to administer our bi-weekly payroll. It addresses the problems of proper taxation and record keeping. This can be hard to do at a small company without a service like Paycors. I've always liked the ease with which you can view prior W2s and paystubs. Also, I often change my direct deposit information and find that process easy.
