Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Paycor offers payroll processing, employee onboarding, time tracking, and benefits administration in a single platform. The self-service employee app and customizable dashboards are functional features that appeal to medium-sized businesses and nonprofits. Setup typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on your data complexity and whether you're migrating from another ...Read more

"Worst service imaginable"

What do you like best about Paycor? Absolutely NOTHING. Beyond disappointing from all aspects. What do you dislike about Paycor? All the crucial points discussed in the sales meeting that I was told Paycor could do, they cannot. I may have got a rep that was very poorly trained or they just tell you what you want to hear before you sign a contract. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? Unfortunately they are only creating problems for me.

"Paycor is the first HRIS our nonprofit has used"

What do you like best about Paycor? It's user-friendly, good support/knowledge center, and it has everything we need from onboarding to Benefits, and payroll for employees or contractors.

"Quality Product, be prepared to fight for the customer service you deserve!"

You are able to customize your dashboard so that you get to see the items you need on a regular basis right in front of you. What do you dislike about Paycor?

"Worst Customer Service and Support I've Ever Experienced"

What do you like best about Paycor? Payroll processing is relatively simple. Ability to see all employees across all client IDs/entities at the corp level What do you dislike about Paycor? Support is abysmal. Tickets remain open for several weeks or longer. The client has to drive tickets to completion. Support transfers you back and forth between departments because their knowledge is only in one aspect of the program. It is nearly impossible to see the status of an open ticket without ...

"With Paycor for 4+ Years"

What do you like best about Paycor? Benefits administration through "Benefits Advisor" and payroll are both user friendly functions for HR. We also added the dedicated customer support service and we are glad this feature was added. What do you dislike about Paycor? The reporting functionality is difficult at time. The ability to run custom reports is very time consuming and wish it was more user friendly. Additionally, hoping Paycor can add more features for state compliance and the ...

"Best Technology and Product Offering I've Seen"

What do you like best about Paycor? The technology of the platform is not only helpful and easy to use for our HR team but our employees also find the system easy to use and can access anything they need easily. What do you dislike about Paycor? The service could use some fine-tuning. Also, there are some products that we use that I wish could pull information into Perform so that we could better report from those products. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting ...

"Paycor goes above and beyond for their clients"

What do you like best about Paycor? The Paycor teams pull all resources to make the best partnership! They combine all their resources to make all your needs a success. They have all pieces of HCM. What do you dislike about Paycor? We struggle with being able to connect with specialists one on one without going through our Premium Support team but a ticket on the portal. Not email supported. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? The connections from Payroll to ...
