Overall Satisfaction with Paycor

Disappointed with their customer service and that the system is not as flexible as it was presented to us.
  • Shows time in hours & minutes, not as % of an hour.
  • Leave requests are super simple.
  • ACA reporting that we've seen so far.
  • Customer Service
  • Delivering what they sell you
  • Cost & fees
  • Created more manual process and has caused a loss of efficiency.
We selected Paycor based on the information given about their robust reports and ease of use. So far, we have not seen either of these benefits. Their implementation department was slow and we had to repeatedly explain our needs & sent them information they requested multiple times. All the workarounds we were told they could provide did not come to fruition. Very disappointed in this product.
[Paycor is well suited for] Simple basic payroll with no special or different payroll needs.

Paycor Implementation

If you don't have a simple, straight forward payroll scenario, don't use Paycor.
  • Vendor implemented
Yes
Change management was minimal
  • Implementation team not listening to what we told them or explained to them what we needed.
  • Having to send the same documentation to them multiple times.
  • Difference of philosophies. We were more concerned with accuracy and detail and work on toward a higher scale of excellence than they were.
  • Non-willingness to find a solution to our requests.
  • Rudeness.
