Time Savings with Paycor

Our HR and/or payroll team has saved time, but I'm not sure how much. -

I can easily go into the system and see who has not approved their time card or which time cards have errors and need to be fixed before moving to the next stage. There is a feature to lock time cards so edits can not be made once payroll has been stated to prevent errors in paying employees correctly. The payroll grid is very convenient to use and there is an option to set up a manual check during the pay cycle should a terminated employee check need to be created on-site. The reports to review before processing are easy to use and provide all the necessary data for audit purposes. All of these features have allowed me to decrease the amount of time I need to spend processing payroll.

The first payroll I did in the system saved me so much time I re-checked my data and reports a couple of times just to make sure I didn't miss any thing. I was a very good surprise at how easy the system was and how much time it saved.

Usability

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.

Alternatives Considered

Paycom, Paychex Flex and ADP TotalSource

We selected Paycor because of the cost savings, easy of use and capabilities.

Likelihood to Recommend

As with any HRIS system, there are always going to be hiccups. I have used this system with a small company (50-100 employees) with one location as well as a large company (1500+) with over 100 locations. Their cost is very affordable. When we switched to Paycor, we saved about $10,000 in our first year and that included the implementation fees. If you are looking for a system that will link to other industry systems, this may not be a good fit, but if you need one system to handle all your needs, this is a product you want to check out.

Paycor: Check it out, you'll be happy with your decision.
