Running payroll is straightforward and employee records are easy to keep up with in one place. 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. For an organization with a lot of employees it really does take a decent chunk of the manual work off the table > > **Cons**: Customer support can be hit or miss. Sometimes you get someone helpful right away, other times you're sitting on hold or waiting on a callback for something that feels pretty urgent. 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. There have also been a handful of instances where system updates quietly changed something that then needed troubleshooting on our end to figure out. > > On the whole, Paycor has worked very well in terms of payroll management in our company. It does all the things you expect it to do, and it has made the process much easier. Of course, there is the odd issue now and then, such as when customer service isn’t up to scratch, or the reporting is less than intuitive, but there have been no real issues to cause us to consider switching platforms. ----- ### "Accountant" — 5.0/5 > **Ashley Erin** | *5 December 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has made corrected many of the time clock and scheduling issues we have had in the past that negatively effected our payroll thus saving time and money. The customer support team and tools available have been awesome and the app is easy for our employees to use for requesting time off, availability, direct deposit and seeing their employee file and work related documents. > > **Cons**: Limitation on reporting and some industry specific scheduling parameters are an issue as well as the current disconnect between the recruiting platform and the actual software, but the Paycor teams have informed us updates are coming and some of the things we need are on those updates. > > Overall, Paycor has solved many issues we have had in the past and now we are working with our team to ensure full use of the all the tools has available to assist them in making Payroll, Scheduling, Recruiting and Employee Management easier on the day to day. ----- ### "Paycor and it's Expertise\!" — 4.0/5 > **Denissa** | *25 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The features is absolutely amazing. Paycor provided a quality services including payroll and all about HR solutions > > **Cons**: I least to liked Paycor when there is an abrupt cutting of electrical power, there were times that the data that was encoded has been slowly in retrieving. > > Paycor really has connection with the leaders to different people, there were coaches on board in this kind of Software. ----- ### "Lies and fees, stay away." — 1.0/5 > **Dean** | *1 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I needed direct deposit, that happened. Seriously, that's all I can say that's good. Oh, the guy who first set me up in Paycor seemed nice, although he ignored everything I told him, I found out later. > > **Cons**: Fees, more fees, fees they can't explain, broken promises, and customer service is horrible (and liars) > > Customer support wastes an hour each time, takes at least 45 minutes to get to someone who doesn't speak English. Then promises are made and quickly forgotten. The fees keep adding up. I had one fee that no one at Paycor could even tell me what it was for. Other fees that didn't apply to my business. I'd complain, get a promise of a credit, then get no credit. I finally left and filed a BBB complaint, which got someone's attention, and after another month of fighting got a promise of a $1200 refund, which represents the last 6 months of abuse. I was promised to get it by the end of the week. It's been over a month now, as the feet get dragged. Stay away from this company, there are legitimate payroll companies out there that will work for you. ----- ### "Paycor Payroll Review" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *4 May 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The availability of a local office was great. If we had any issues a local person was available and was able to rectify any problems > > **Cons**: Sometimes when we were processing our payroll we would encounter a few issues but we could always correct them > > Paycor was always available if we needed any help and we were very happy with their customer service.
