Paycor Reviews & Product Details

It's a good centralized place to view and manage time, PTO, PTO requests, etc., for both myself and our employees. Any information I need is generally easily accessible. Being able to clock in/out via smartphone is also very handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My chief complaint is the lack of flexibility. We have a small team (about a dozen employees) and it generally takes more time and effort--for both me and our team members--to go through all of Paycor's required steps for PTO or missed punches or what have you than the old way of them sending the information to me and I take care of it.

Paycor is also built on the assumption that all employees have access to either a computer or smart phone to clock in/out. This is not the case as we have several part-time employees who do not work in the office and do not have smart phones. I can enter their time manually, but the process is very cumbersome, because it is of course not designed to work that way. There is, however, no other practical way to get time information in the system for those employees. Entering other, non-time items (e.g. mileage reimbursement, per diem, etc.) is equally cumbersome.

A few other points:

- Employees also cannot individually opt in or out of receiving a physical pay stub in the mail.

- The system frequently flags punches as being out of bounds when the employee was standing in the office when they put that punch in.

- Additionally, the punch button in the mobile app is very easy to not trigger, and, since the app still changes screens when you miss, it is also very easy to not realize that the punch was not entered, creating a mess that gets to be sorted out at a later date.

I use Paycor primarily for managing HR and employee-related activities, including payroll, employee information, time tracking, and other workforce management tasks. What I like most about Paycor is its user-friendly interface and the convenience of having multiple HR functions in one platform. It helps keep everything organized and makes routine HR processes more efficient, reducing manual work. I appreciate how it makes tasks like payroll, employee management, time tracking, and accessing employee information much easier. The initial setup was fairly easy and straightforward, with a well-organized onboarding process that made it easy to start using the main features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel the speed and responsiveness of some features could be improved. Certain processes can occasionally require extra steps, and I think the reporting options could be more flexible and customizable. Improving the user experience and simplifying a few workflows would make Paycor even more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Paycor's time clock feature because it makes it very easy for me to see how many hours I have worked and the allocation of each hour, simplifying payroll as it's the system used by everyone in the organization to clock in and out. Additionally, Paycor keeps track of all my pay information, time off, and benefits in one convenient, easy-to-use place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a little difficult to navigate, at least in terms of locating benefit information. At least for me, it took me several minutes of clicking around before finding where the information was located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is really easy to use. When I log in, I can find everything quickly and without any hassle. I also like how all the categories are kept separate. For example, when I want to request a day off, I can immediately see how many hours I’ve accumulated for vacation, DOT Sick Leave, AZ Paid Sick Leave, and other types of time off.

It could be that if I make a mistake on a punch in or out, I can't fix it myself. And that everytime I log into Paycor it asks for a code they either send to my email or text message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how they display and calculate my vacation time. I like that Paycor shows how much vacation time I've accumulated, how much vacation time was requested, how much vacation time would be left after I use up my requested time. It's very helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a hassle to edit my time card. I have a salary so I don't need to punch in the time. However, it is a hassle to edit. For example, I needed to change my regular hours into sick hours because I called off sick from work that day. But the website interface makes it hard to edit. So I would have to take the extra step to delete the previous entry of regular hours in order to put the sick hours in (instead of just editing in a drop box option) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it's nice that Paycor shows the gross pay at the very top, which helps me see how much I've made without having to dig into it. It's cool to see what I'm paid before taxes, and it assists me in evaluating how I'm doing by comparing and contrasting my earnings over past quarters. Also, the initial setup was pretty easy with no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Paycor doesn't make it easier to synthesize information like my benefits package, which is just a long, large PDF that's hard to understand. The pay stubs aren't broken down in a way that's easy to read either. The whole site could use a redesign to make it easier to navigate and more visually appealing. The website's layout with its old, outdated way of clicking through different boxes is not user-friendly. It could definitely benefit from being more intuitive, like having clickable options at the top instead of everything under a tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Paycor makes it really easy for me to monitor my time, expenses, PTO, and sick time, and it's really convenient. I enjoy the ability to have access to Paycor on my mobile device, which is super valuable to me because I didn't have access to my laptop. This means I can input information, submit requests, and have them approved in a timely manner. I like being able to key in my time to request time off and view my pay stubs all from the comfort of my bed. It's also very user-friendly and easy to start using the platform.

I wish Paycor had the feature that allowed me to see my paycheck a day earlier, like I could with my last employer. That's the only main area of concern for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the UI of the main dashboard with the different widgets because the information that I usually am looking for (ex. clock in/out, schedule) is available at first glance. I also like that Paystub is accessible from the top bar and that the widget tells you how many days until your next pay date, since that is usually difficult to keep track of.

I wish there was an easy way to see the management hierarchy or your other team members. For example, UI-wise, it could be displayed as a branched tree diagram with titles of every worker. As of right now, I cannot find who is part of my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Paycor for payroll processing and to record my time, which helps ensure I have an accurate paycheck. What I like most about Paycor is the ability to control my schedule and the feature allowing me to type in my hours down to the minute. This really helps because my job pays me down to the exact minute, so I just enjoy having that level of accuracy. I also enjoy the overall experience of Paycor. The initial setup was smooth with no interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does have a lot of glitches. Sometimes when I'm trying to put in my schedule for the week, it won't show all available schedules, and it won't record the schedules. It's slower at recording the selected schedule. I also have a lot of issues when I'm able to type in how much time I have for the week; it does have a problem recording what I typed in. If I come back the next day, sometimes it won't be there, and I'll have to recalculate. I really don't enjoy having to recalculate after I've already saved my time down to the minute.

Easy access online and through app; dashboard views for overall perspective; integration of benefits portal with payroll function Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Experience is slightly inconsistent and not always intuitive--I feel as if I don't always see the same results, particularly when I'm trying to account for time off. Some pages show future requests; others do not.

Wish that I received an email with my pay stub, making it easier to keep an eye on those details. I recently found an error in my time off and sick time, and finding where and how things went off the rails felt like a forensic hunt. It feels like all the information should be easy to locate in Paycor, but it was challenging.

Entering information into the timecard function seems unnecessarily stretched on the computer; it involves lots of scrolling left to right and up and down.

App and online versions are both functional, but I wish they were more similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
