Good investment for your company long term success

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paycor for PTO, employee handbooks and documentation, W2s, pay stubs, company notifications and tasks. I use Paycor most often to submit pto and check my balace of future days off. I also often look for documents such as the company holiday and payroll calendar. All of this is organized neatly in one place and is easy to navigate. A nice feature is an engage board on your homescreen where employees can give kudos and shoutouts to other team members for the whole company to see and engage with

Pros

  • navigation between sections
  • PTO future balances based on dates
  • storing and sorting of documentation
  • An engage page for employees

Cons

  • i would prefer my outlook calendar be linked to the My Schedule section
  • i would prefer my hourly and yearly rate be easily visible
  • i would prefer the company organization chart be easily visible

Return on Investment

  • Saved time knowing where any company information and personal information lives
  • Better communication to employees about updates and changes
  • More employees recognized and praised for their hard work on the engage page
