"Reporting Could Use a Major Work"

What do you like best about Paycor? 1) Payroll processing is VERY easy for those of us who only have to process in the event of an emergency. 2) I also like that EEs can view some ancillary benefits info on the app. 3) I like the design on the home page and the scrolling communications banner. What do you dislike about Paycor? 1) In 2018, ad hoc reporting is a given, but not with Paycor. You're locked into certain fields from certain drop downs and it's extremely aggravating.

"Great product, just what my organization needed. "

What do you like best about Paycor? My favorite part about the software was the surveys it offered, the pulse surveys to be specific.

What do you dislike about Paycor? Some of the surveys that were taken had a delay in the actual results that were delivered to me. I dont know if this was a problem ...
