Overall it's a VAST improvement from Paycor, what we used to use.
I like this most personally because it keeps track of ALL of my payroll stuff and it's easy to use and find the info I need. It shows you exactly how much of your check is stolen I mean taken for taxes, how much take home pay, exactly how many hours, etc. The previous one I had been using was a dumpster fire compared to this
So far there is nothing I don't like about this software, it gets the job done well and then some. Easy to use

Do not recommend using ADP but unfortunately our parent company made us switch to this.
I'm struggling to come up with anything positive. We switch to ADP from Paycor and have had a terrible experience.
This software is terrible compared to Paycor. It's outdated, slow and the UI doesn't make it easy to navigate through even to do small tasks. You have to click through multiple pages compared to simple things in Paycor. For example, employees requesting time off requires filling out a very confusing form with a strange calendar chooser and then your supervisor to approve the day off doesn't get notified right away and then when the message does finally come through, there is no actionable "approve"button in the notification so it's just frustrating and slow.

Overall I like the app but we switch to different company and out new software prove it that ADP has some work to do
I used this software before we switched to a paycor and it was a good software tool to keep all the hr information in one place
App needs some work on the graphic layout and adding more friendly options for users. The updates are not quick enough

We just switched to this at my job from Paycor. It took a little while to get used to, but I am starting to like this a little better!
I like that the portal hides personal information and can only be shown if you click it or want it to be. It makes it easy when using during work hours to schedule PTO or to look at pay stubs etc.
It took me awhile to figure out how to schedule the PTO, but once I figured it out it is now a piece of cake.

This software is hands down the easiest I've worked with. You don't have to create a multiple amount of weird punches, like in Paycor (another software I've had to use). It's concise. It's simple. But it's full of information that's easy to find. I've had trouble on other software finding info on the amount of sick time I've built up or vacation days I have, but it's all easily accessible and easy to read on ADP. You don't have to understand any HR lingo to be able to figure the software out. I love it!
First off, it looks nice when you log in. You feel like you're in a little computer home. HR Managers are able to customize ADP looks for your organization. There is a great deal of info about my place of work, finances through work, etc., right there on ADP that I can access from anywhere. They make logging your hours simple and concise--as it should be.
There have been two or three times ADP refused to open on my Google Chrome browser and I had to use Safari. Not a huge deal and really the only con I can think of.

Awful. I haven't solved anything because most of my issues were glossed over or never addressed. I regret ever recommending this switch to our executives.
Paycor is relatively intuitive and easy to use on a base level. Compared to ADP Workforce Now, it's really simple to find what you need.
We were promised a dedicated support team, which we were never provided due to a switch to a centralized support model. Our "senior" implementation specialist was awful and did not fully set our system up. It took 4 months (2 of which were after we began processing our payroll) to have our PTO plans set up and then they weren't even set up correctly. Their tax handling leaves a lot to be desired.

Less expensive as compare to ADP. Easy to navigate.
It is easy to load. Light weight as compare to ADP. Navigation is easy. Not as many features and reports like ADP workforce but it is sufficient for my payroll. It is very easy to pull reports and no need to go to separate portal. Rates are also good.
Their support team is not up to my mark. My payroll specialist never picks up my call. I have been charged 4 times of perform time. Every time I ask them they promise me that it won't happen again. They are issuing credit but I have to go back and forth to get it corrected. Not much support for paying vendors. Screen is not designed to pay vendors(LLC, INC). DOB and other fields are required field for paying other LLC.

At first I was hesitant when we switched over from ADP. But I can say not only am I impressed, but I actually prefer it now!!
It's extremely used friendly and I love the UI! It's an extremely versatile program that we use for payroll, employee benefits, tracking of both personal and employees performance, tax prep and so much more!
My one and only complaint was that it was initially particularly easy to navigate the benefits portions and features on Paycor. But once that was discerned, it was easy to do in subsequent years.
Thank you for your positive feedback on your experience with Paycor. We're glad to hear that you find our platform user-friendly and versatile for your payroll, employee benefits, and performance tracking needs. We appreciate your preference for Paycor over ADP and we're committed to providing you with a great overall experience.

I liked that I would receive notifications about PTO when I put in for it. Makes me know that my boss &. HR can see that I need days off, and that my request have either been approved or denied.
I cant say that there was anything that I did not like. Everything worked perfectly. I am sad now that the company has switched to ADP. Paycor was much easier.

Super easy to use, payroll and scheduling is superior to other software.
Some of the tools are not as easy to access and so may go unnoticed.

It has tabs that show time worked and Sick leave and vacation pay and is well organized and easy to view no issues just glitchy mobile site for Android
Time tracking is easy and I like the site layout much better than ADP
Only thing I disliked it if you don't use the app the mobile site is very glitchy and needs work. I use often while doing contracts for Intermed

I switched from ADP and have been very pleased with the software
I like that we have dedicated representatives and when we need help we aren't talking to a different person each time we call. I like the actual payroll process and the link to Empower for our plan...this feature has really simplified my life.
We sometimes have difficulty getting reports to format and print. We frequently get the error " not able to process at this time"

This tool streamline workforce and talent acquisition. It has all the benefits over other related tools.
Manual work is slowly vanishing with the increase in the need to save more time and resources. Paycor has fit in so well to save the day. No manual updates on most employees data. With Paycor, there is a fare ground for talent acquisition and management. This has eventually brought us a more reliable workforce giving us an advantage in the market always. Furthermore, Paycor has proven to be easy to use, easy to integrate and flexible to changes. Being easy to customize makes it possible to be applied on any industry.
Paycor has no cons. It is committed to delivering the best and the features are awesome.
Thank you for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that Paycor has been able to automate paperwork, save time, and provide a reliable workforce for your organization. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to delivering the best features and a user-friendly experience.

I came to Paycor from ADP. It's so much better on this side. Customer service is excellent.

It is easy to handle administrative tasks with much supervision. I could use it across many verticals like restaurants, education and non-profit.
Easily see the analytics of HR operations. Track employee times and send messages when necessary. Workforce management statistics could be easily seen in graphs.Responsive on Windows and Android.
Tech support needs to improve. Errors should reduce.

I have found Paycor's interface to be easily understood and user-friendly, allowing me to move, select and perform tasks with ease.it has a wide range features in a single platform, making it convenient for businesses to manage various aspects of their workforce administration in one place.The platform offers amazing analytical and reporting features, providing insights into workforce data, payroll costs, and other HR-related tasks, which can assist businesses in making informed decisions.
The pricing and the cost of using Paycor's services are higher such as the number of employees my institution manages, the specific features required to manage them, and any additional services or modules chosen.Aside this, every looks ok to me.

We like having a full cycle performance managment system that allows us to add modules to build our various programs as we grow and expand. The next module we hope to include is the competancy module. We appreciate this type of flexibility in the Paycor platform.
We currently use Paycor for their performance managment, feedback, recognition, objective setting and and career navigator tools. It has been a great resource for a full cycle performance managment system for our global, remote workforce.
We have used Paycor for about 3 years and they have been easy to work with.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that Paycor's performance management tools have been valuable for your global, remote workforce.

I like that I have to approve my timecard before my supervisor can approve. That way, there are mistakes made where my boss finalizes a timecard I haven't yet finished.
As opposed to ADP, the website isn't as sleek looking. It look busier and therefore more confusing. I found Paycor to take longer to save my entries, and sometimes won't save entries and I have to re-enter punches. I'm thinking that it's a problem to have entries that overlap, like 11 AM - 12 PM and then 12 PM - 1 PM as two separate entries. ADP didn't have a problem with this.
