Setup typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on your data complexity and whether you're migrating from another ...Read more

What do you like best about Paycor? Lots of capabilities within one platform (onboarding wizard, benefits OE and management, payroll, timekeeping, ATS, performance management, self service for employees , etc) What do you dislike about Paycor? Inconsistent customer service with conflicting information, some resolutions to small issues can take a while. Also the knowledge base is hard to search.

What do you like best about Paycor? I like the ability to get to most information very quickly with Paycor. As an HR director, I run a lot of reports to look at data, and I probably use it mostly for that along with looking up information and some medical leave tracking. The transition to Paycor was real smooth, and they were able to export most of the data we had, which made the setup easy. What do you dislike about Paycor? Maybe just some more free age general HR stuff.
