Pros

“The self-service portal for staff has been a nice addition too, people can check their pay stubs, request time off, and update their info without having to go through HR for everything.”

Cons

“The reporting tools are functional but building custom reports isn't the most intuitive process and it often takes more trial and error than it should.”

Blake A.

It Technician

“Some parts of the system can feel less intuitive than they could be, and navigating between candidate records and different hiring workflows occasionally takes more clicks than expected.”

Michael O.

Communications Manager

“Any request, even basic ones, requires hours of follow ups, explanations, and escalations, and many issues still remain unresolved. If you choose Paycor, be prepared to spend at least five hours trying to fix problems that should be straightforward, with no guarantee they will be resolved.”
SS

Stephanie S.

Manager

Cons

“One area that is a bit frustrating is when having to send new credentials out to employees, you have to delete them first then resend resend.”
TB

Tami B.

Office manager

“Routinely fails to save input information making me have to review everything numerous times, save a draft outside of the tool in case of failure.”

Carl F.

Strategy Director

“Haven't yet figured out a way to differentiate between paid vacation time vs unpaid vacation time, they both seem to drop down the total balance.”
