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.”

“Seamless Transitions: When an HR admin marks a candidate as "hired" in the Recruiting module, their data flows instantly into Payroll and Onboarding.”

Support Coach

“Also, all my training modules are still available in the same area where my payment information resides and most importantly, no spreadsheets were harmed during the transition to Paycor.”

Chief Revenue Officer

Pros

“It even integrate with calendar app and I can see my team mates who are on leave and can see my leaves right though my calendar.”
Mk

SDE

“Pause application was very useful, as we were able to track each employees leave balance being admin and also useful for checking calendar if an employee applied leave or not.”

Syed S.

Customer Experience

“One of the standout features of Pause is its seamless integration with Slack, which makes it easy for teams to manage their leave requests and approvals without having to leave their communication platform.”

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.”

“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.”
MO

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

“The main disadvantage of pause is it does not have basic HRMS features like employee profiles, ability to upload their documents, onboarding etc. If some basic features are added then there is no need to look for other solutions.”
AS

Abhishek S.

Team Lead

“This is not right since weekends are any case off and this way the number of leaves get wasted since pause includes the weekends as my off.”
TA

Timothy A.

Customer Success

“Whenever I opened the portal, I felt like it took a lot of time for bootstrap loading which made UI experience little bad for end user.”
