Paycor is what we use for payroll. Review and approve timecards for employees easily. Submit and review employee PTO requests and able to review for PTO history. Employees are able to retrieve paystubs easily and all paystubs are saved in Paycor through an employees history with the company. Paycor is a very easy and user friendly program.
