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

"Clumsy, hard to navigate"

What do you like best about Paycor? You can theoretically cascade goals, send notifications, conduct reviews, etc. What do you dislike about Paycor? The UX is super clunky. It's really hard to find my things vs the things related to my direct reports. It's hard to keep it clean too - closing out older goals, adding/removing team members -- all very cumbersome. What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? Helps us set goals and conduct check-ins between managers and their teams

Awful onboarding/support/people, software seems OK

Software seems powerful and is intuitive enough to use, usually. Which is good because so far the people suck. Implementation/onboarding is AWFUL. The people don't know what they're doing, have terrible quality control (mistakes in data entry, configurations of deductions, how things report on W2s!, etc.) and are impossible to get a hold of to ask questions, get help, etc. Everyone is silo'd so no one really knows how the system works end-to-end. Everything is done by checklist, so no ...

"Worst support experience in over 20 years in HR. Keep shopping."

What do you like best about Paycor? The platform has promising features, however, the complete lack of adequate support makes it difficult to use them. The failure to resolve issues or respond at all has disrupted our business on multiple occassions. What do you dislike about Paycor? The customer support is the worst I have ever worked with, and I've been a Comcast customer. Support reps ignore tickets for weeks on end, make promises to provide updates or circle back and simply don't, ever. ...

"Best Management Tool for my team"

What do you like best about Paycor? Sets goals easy and have a great way to show the contributions of the team members What do you dislike about Paycor? For now i do not have nothing to say about Paycor What problems is Paycor solving and how is that benefiting you? It sets company goals, my department goals and the over-all structure of the project. Paycor gives the proper management tool to show the direction of company projects and goals to be met in a certain amount of time.

Worst Payroll Provider Ever !!!

Paycor is the absolute worst Payroll platform I have ever used. I have been in payroll for 35 years and have used several different platforms. Their Customer Service team are horrible and very inexperienced. They are very good at marketing and selling their product but cannot stand up to the promises made. My payroll clerk knew more about payroll than their CS Reps did. Very disappointing for the amount of money my company invested in their services.

This is a horrible program

This is a horrible program. It is slow and often deletes all input data for no apparent reason. It takes almost an hour just to log my hours for the month and then they are sometimes deleted. This program is truly awful. I have never used any site that functions this poorly and I remember dial-up.
