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

Paycor pros and cons

  • Covers payroll, recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and benefits administration in one platform.

  • Mostly accessible interface with integrations for payroll, time tracking, and employee onboarding.

  • Employee self-service through the Paycor mobile app lets staff check payroll, hours, and pay stubs directly.

  • Automates hiring workflows and performance reviews, reducing manual work for HR staff and managers.

  • Customer service response times are consistently slow, with no assigned representatives and frequent case mismanagement.

Stay away from Paycor to save your life

Stay away from Paycor to save your life, their customer service is super bad, wasting so much time to call Paycor for nothing, they screwed up our clients tax filing, W2, and they are holding $110k taxes payment and not returning to us, they took the payroll fund from wrong bank account and our clients were very upset. Paycor staffs are under educated, they don't know what they are doing, never, never able to help, the implementation of payroll account set is completely wrong. We cannot ...

Paycor - Neglectful and borderline malpractice

DO NOT MOVE TO PAYCOR. Paycor has been the worst payroll company I have experienced in 20 years. We have been using them for a little over a year. There is a serious issue with general competency. I've never felt so unsupported in my life and have zero confidence in using them. You do not get a dedicated person. You always have to wait for an email from a "general" CS rep. They love to give out case numbers which is a form of lip service. You do not get a resolution to issues timely. You ...

DO NOT USE PAYCOR for your business payroll sevice

Terrible company. I just now got W2 as employee and as an employer it has been difficult to find out why. They charge enormous fees for terrible payroll service. They just deducted a huge amount for tax without warning me that they are making up for a mistake. My business account went into the overdraft column and PayCor says sorryl

Customer Service Failure

Horrible customer service. Whoever is the EVP of this department should be removed immediately. The whole model needs to be re-mapped. I am shocked at how bad this has atrophied. I would suggest some C-Suite people from Paycor sit in as a proxy for an end-user experience (e.g. dealing with IT dept reporting requests, etc..) and just walk the process. I would LOVE to hear that distillation from their perspective. Normalizing for all the vitriolic "I can't get my payroll check" crazy reviews, ...

Honestly baffled by how bad the support is!!

Ok I was spoiled from many years using ADP! Management here wanted to go with Paycor, was recommended by someone at a bank & didn't listen to me. Well here I am 4 months into using Paycor and the number of hours this company has paid me to get reports, phone calls to resolve has cost the company more than if we had continued processing the payroll ourselves. Payroll is simple really. Paycor has managed to make it difficult. There are some good things but the negative far outweighs the ...

What a joke

What a joke! Why do the have live "customer service" people on staff? They can't or won't do anything for the employee and hide behind the phrase "for security purposes, you need to contact your companies' payroll dept. or HR". WHY ARE THEY EVEN ANWSERING CALLS??? This platform is NOT user/consumer/enduser friendly and provides NO HELP for former employees of a company. There is no way to retrieve a final paystub nor a W2. How are they still in business with such BAD service? All flash and ...
