Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed an all-in one system that could handle employee engagement as well as other traditional HR functions (payroll, ben admin, scheduling, etc.). We were previously using a payroll vendor that did not offer ben admin, time keeping, performance, engagement, etc. so everything was done in separate systems and spreadsheets. Getting Paycor allowed our team to have a 1 stop shop for all things people related. It has helped our employees stay engaged with their performance and their peers through the Perform feature and has allowed our HR team to save time because we don't have to switch between systems and doing manual calculations.

Time Savings with Paycor

Our HR and/or payroll team has saved time, but I'm not sure how much. - Previously, we had multiple systems we were using for Payroll. A Payroll vendor, scheduling software, benefits sites, and spreadsheets for accrued time off. Because Paycor allows everything to be done on one system, we have saved a significant amount of time and stress running payroll. We don't have to worry about manual errors, don't need 10 screens opened when running payroll, and trust that everything is accurate.

Usability

Paycor is very easy to use and has a great UI/UX. Our employees enjoy the Perform features such as recognition, goals, and performance reviews. It is very easy to navigate and it's great to be able to tell our employees Paycor has everything they need from an HR standpoint (paychecks, taxes, benefit cards, schedule, etc). The system looked a lot more modern than others we demoed and is very easy to navigate.

Alternatives Considered

Paycom, ADP Comprehensive Services and Rippling

Number 1 reason was price - based on all the functionality, we expected Paycor to come in a lot higher from a price point perspective but it was significantly less than the other software we looked. This made me a bit nervous because of how much the price difference was (I figured if it was noticeable less, there must be something wrong with it). There isn't. Paycor is great and a good price point I was able to defend to my CEO and CFO and get quick approval to start implementation.

Likelihood to Recommend

Paycor is very easy to use and functional. I was not expecting it to be so robust based on the reasonable pricing in comparison to other HRISs. Our employees also enjoy using it. Paycor has made it very easy for payroll to be processed quickly. It functions well with the time tracking/scheduling system and syncs automatically. They are continuing to add new features (such as expense management) that have continued to save our team time when processing payroll. The only issue we have every come across is with the schedule API. We have set up an API for our schedule through Paycor and our phone system for our sales team to be "available" to take calls based on when they are scheduled through Paycor. This has had syncing issues a few times but Paycor is quick to resolve the issue, just frustrating when the integration breaks and we have to do the process manual until the fix is implemented. Paycor was not really purchased to address that specific need though so it was not a deal breaker for us that the integration might not be the perfect solution.
