Pros

  • Payroll automation.
  • Punch clock.
  • Employee self service.

Cons

  • Reporting.
  • Scheduling.
  • Customer support.

  • Improved UI and navigation (from previous provider).
  • Improved usability for employees.
It's fairly easy to navigate but many of the settings and modules are segmented/separated. It can be difficult to find some of the most basic information, such as employee pay rate, as they have many different navigation tabs and it's not clear where the information you want can be found.
We moved to Paycor from onemint. onemint was very difficult to navigate, and that is one realized gain of switching to Paycor. Navigation aside, I believe that both applications are equal in terms of what they can provide and cost.
Our employees are hourly, not salary, and their weekly schedule changes from time to time. While Paycor offers a scheduling module I don't think it's built to handle schedules that change often. Otherwise, when it comes to payroll and time management (e.g. punch clock) the application does fairly well.

Paycor Support

Approximately 70% of my requests never get answered. Those that do typically pertain to tax filing mistakes by Paycor (e.g. they overpaid or underpaid a state or federal tax and I notify them of a letter received, they did not file a return on time, etc.). In these cases I have had support take up to 5 months to respond.
ProsCons
None
Slow Resolution
Poor followup
Problems left unsolved
Difficult to get immediate help
Support doesn't seem to care
Slow Initial Response
I am not sure if additional support plans are even an option. But, if they were, I wouldn't pay for them. A company has a duty to support its users, notably paid users. In the case of Paycor, support is often needed due to their expertise in payroll, and that support should be provided as inclusive of the fees we pay.
Yes - No. They never responded.
