We use Paycor for all HR needs including payroll, benefits administration, and time and attendance. We use it daily for reporting purposes and onboarding staff.

Pros

Open enrollment-their software is user friendly and has good features for end users and administrators
Onboarding-entering new hires is easy
Mass Template Upload-you can easily upload mass changes, the system is easy to use.
Reporting-their reporting tool is improving and AI is incorporated into it.

Cons

Time & Attendance reporting-this can be improved by integrating the functionalities
Reporting-customs fields needs to be integrated since you can't run reports with these fields included
Manager access-having a better grasp as to what managers can view

Return on Investment

Positive ease of open enrollment for employees
Time and Attendance needs improvement, the HR team still gets lots of questions about it
Efficient mass uploads-this has eased the burden of HR administrative work

Damian Wirth

HR Manager in Human Resources at Kobelco Aluminum Products & Extrusions (201-500 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paycor for all its features. This includes payroll, recruiting, benefits, training and development. One feature that Paycor offered that we didn't have (and needed) was a robust LMS and Leadership training.

Pros

Offering a robust LMS
User training
Benefit platform

Cons

the App lacks full usability
Reporting is very limited
Analytics does not provide accurate data
The system is not real-time; we often have to wait hours or overnight

Return on Investment

Recruiting and onboarding saves time for both the recruiter and the candidate
The ability to run off-schedule payroll has added flexibility and response time
Unfortunately, the limited functionality on the App has made it more difficult for team members.

Asst Human Resources in Human Resources at Lenawee Medical Care Facility (201-500 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am our Paycor Administrator. I use all aspects of Paycor. Our biggest use of Paycor is for tracking time and processing payroll.

Pros

Has a large parameter for programming
Allows for industry specific caveats
Can accept and process data for a large amount of staff

Cons

Listening to their clients thoroughly
Too many changes/updates/sunsetting reports
Since merging with Paychex, Paycor has begun to over-price their products

Return on Investment

Spending too much time having to troubleshoot the time clock, time keeping, or report analytics
EDI files are often splattered with errors

Sierra Wilson

Paycor Specialist in Human Resources at Collier Development Co. (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paycor for everything employee related. We are running into issues with scheduling and wanting department managers to create schedules but not publish. Then have the property manager approve and then publish the schedule. We also have people with issues in onboarding that we cannot help them with, therefore we have to delete and resend

Pros

Employee Profile
Analytics
LMS

Cons

Scheduling
Paths

Return on Investment

Freed up time having to find a physical employee file

Jason Chung

HR Generalist in Human Resources at The Appointment Group LLC (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it in almost every aspect of HR. From ATS to LMS to Payroll to Performance Management. I really like how everything is centralized here and it has helped us move away from using poorly designed documents and paper forms. It is relatively easy for employees to also log in and get access to their accounts. There isn't 100 versions of it like ADP where someone is logging into the wrong software.

Pros

Payroll
Applicant Tracking System
Performance Management

Cons

Customer Service
Benefits Advisor
Better updates

Return on Investment

Recruitment has been way better and wasting less time
EDI feeds connecting with BA is helpful
LMS has been useful but I think it is also a bit misleading and some trainings are just useless or poorly designed.
