Overall Satisfaction with Paycor

We use Paycor for payroll processing.
  • System administration is easy.
  • Employees love the ease of recording their worked time.
  • Easy to request and approved PTO
  • Online employee W-2s
  • Customer service is sometimes slow during peak periods, such as year-end.
  • Their report writing module is cumbersome.

Do you think Paycor delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Paycor's feature set?

Yes

Did Paycor live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Paycor go as expected?

No

Would you buy Paycor again?

Yes

  • Increased efficiency for the finance staff and employees
  • Minimized pastor tax reporting issues
Our HR and/or payroll team has saved 1-25 hours per month. - We previously processed manual time cards, which were sometimes inaccurate. The time keeping system is easy to use and limits user-error. Payroll processing can be completed in a few minutes.
The payroll custom report section is sometimes cumbersome for the output I desire. It is not inuitive. Otherwise, the system is great.
Paycor is well-suited for companies wanting an easy payroll user experience. Companies desiring an easy custom reporting process may want to dig deeper into system ability before signing-on.

Evaluating Paycor and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
We are a church and have specific tax regulations that apply to clergy. We needed a company that had prior experience with churches.
I wouldn't change anything.

Paycor Implementation

It would be helpful to the client to have better direct access to the Paycor department that handles GL mapping.
Yes - Importing data from prior database, payroll policy development, GL mapping, admin training, user training
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled
  • GL mapping was difficult. Paycor team and in-house team experienced difficulty understanding/implementing the required 'output'.

Paycor Training

The training was easy to understand, and the Paycor tutorials are a great, easy reference.

Configuring Paycor

Paycor Support

The quality of Paycor support is great. The response delays have been frustrating, but probably unavoidable due to the pandemic and national staffing shortages.
ProsCons
Good followup
Knowledgeable team
Problems get solved
Kept well informed
Support cares about my success
Escalation required
Need to explain problems multiple times
Slow Initial Response
We did not feel a need to do so. Covid and staffing shortages have affected all industries, including payroll processing. I attribute the delays in Paycor response to these factors. In recent months, I have noticed faster service response times. The staff have always been knowledgeable.
Paycor provided exceptional service when I was developing different types of tiered PTO accrual.
