Paycor is Excellent!

We have been using Paycor for over 5 years. The customer service has gone from great too horrible in that time frame. Paycor has went from a great product to a product that breaks all the time. Paycor does not notify their customers when problems occur. When you notify them, it is apology after apology with no communication from them after the initial call.

Mainly use it as payroll tool/time tracking and recruiting. Want to do more with it but takes time to get things set up and you don’t provide the same type of support that you give when we first onboarded with the Paycor product, so it is hard to find the time to weed through and find all of the how-to’s to set things up - like onboarding new employees, after 2 years, I’m still hiring people manually.

Mostly used for Payroll and PTO tracking. I am the only administrator, and I find it easy to use. I especially like the PTO tracking so that the employees can both request time off and see their current balances.

We use Paycor for all HR and Payroll needs. With 900 plus employees we rely in the system to accurately record and pay those employees. It houses all of our employees information and allows us to see any information with just a few clicks. Also allows our company to utilize workflows and other products to help our managers with their jobs

We use Paycor for scheduling and Payroll services. We are a medium sized veterinary practice with multiple departments, so scheduling can be diffiult. Paycor allows us to schedule by department as well as by the entire organization. Utilizing Paycor allowed for much more organization on scheduling for both management and employees. Employees can request and view their time off, their schedule, and their hours clearly as well as view their team's schedule as needed. Management can easily access and manage all time off and scheduling.

Having scheduling and Payroll rolled into one system has made both things much more efficient. Time sheets are easily managed and matched to the employee's schedule to ensure eveyrthing is accurate. Both scheduling and Payroll are much easier and efficient.

We used Paycor for our HR and Payroll module. Our goal was to go paperless as much as possible. It did allow us to move to a more paperless system. From my experience, the main problems were the inability for the system to communicate effectively from module to the other.In my opinion,the system was also very slow on payroll weeks which was troublesome.

We use Paycor as our sole HRIS for payroll, schedules, performance reviews, training and recruitment. We recently upgraded to the better versions of these programs, which includes seamless full cycle recruitment and onbaording new employees. The scheduling program has been great for tracking attendance and has helped with correcting missed punches.

I'm the corporate recruiter for all positions within the company. I have used most sections of Paycor, and use Paycor Recruiting everyday. Paycor is our HRIS and payroll. We are doing our best to make it a complete solution for our business. Although I feel there could be some improvement in cross section or overall integration.

We utilize onboarding, open enrollment of benefits, virtual punching, time off requests, reporting & payroll/taxes W-2s, 1099's, uploading employee documents, certifications, licenses, labor allocations, and wage garnishment service. Pay independent contractors in a separate pay run. Set up reminders and notifications for employees and managers. And Paycor is user-friendly has a mobile app employees like & will use. Lastly, I can post company news and updates.

I use Paycor for all three organizations and run Time & Attendance and Payroll. The program is user friendly and I am enjoying all the updated features on a monthly basis. This is making it easier instead of calling Customer service directly.

We use Paycor on a daily basis for HR, Onboarding, Scheduling, timekeeping, and payroll. Paycor continues to hear our requests and develop new improvements to continue to improve with the client and its users.

Paycor is our HRIS system. If you are referring to ways that Paycor tools have helped our organization, I can say that tools that I am excited about will be your AI assistance with job descriptions and the availability of using AI to help bring forward solid candidates.

The main focus was to schedule the campaign agents into their work times. There was also a payment-related use, but that's not in my scope of knowledge. However, I was told that it worked great for the payroll staff. As for my daily use, Paycor has been a wonder in managing my workforce.

We use Paycor for most of our HR processes - payroll, performance reviews, job costing, expense management, goal tracking, employee onboarding, applicant tracking and recruiting, and learning management. Paycor products continue to enhance their product offering and has truly offered our organization a single platform solution for streamlining process and reducing administrative burdens.

Paycor is our primary HRIS and payroll
software. We use most of the modules except for Performance management, scheduling and Learning Management System. Used for applicant tracking system: give Paycor high marks for this. I have used the Paycor onboarding in the past at previous companies, main issue is that if an employee is hired in error there is no way to delete that new hire. Have to term them which skews reporting data. Have used performance management at prior companies and had no issues.

We use Paycors recruiting platform at Insco to recruit then seamlessly move candidates to onboarding. The recruiting platform also allows us to communicate with candidates and hiring managers. Allows us to send links to start background checks and schedule drug screens and physicals. We process Payroll and manage time and attendance. We monitor Benefits and PTO. Reporting is essential as we monitor several aspects of HR audits and processes.
