      The worse payroll company I have encountered. My company was with another payroll vendor that was purchased by Paycor. We agreed to go with Paycor because of promises of wonderful services and cost savings. The transition has been a nightmare. My implementation person doesnt have a clue what she is doing. I process payroll Monday and I am finding out the settings for payroll are not completed. There is no transparency at all with this company. I have asked for a timeline of the implementation but no one cares about you are your concerns at this company. I cant imagine someone with little experience going through this process. Never have I experienced such incompetent with a payroll company.

      DO NOT USE PAYCOR. After 2 years they tried to increase my price by 3x. I currently pay $3800 a year and the new "plan" would raise my bill to $9000+. Let that sink in. An inside sales rep will sell you additional services but will not downgrade my current service. I was offered a 6k a year solution with 2 year agreement to almost double my bill. WOULD YOU STAY WITH ANY SERVICE THAT WOULD DOUBLE OR TRIPLE YOUR BILL? They know switching payroll is a pain so they are banking people will take the price increase to not deal with the hassle. Their inside sales rep claimed they would be available to assist with any issue but when I asked to downgrade my service I was told that I need to call customer service. Mind you customer service at PAYCOR is TERRIBLE. 30 minute hold time to leave a message! Their system is constantly down and won't allow you to run payroll by the cutoff time and they will charge you a $50 late fees and nickel and dime you. Learn from my mistake and save yourself the headache and choose a different payroll provider! Paycor is NOT the one.

      Got the run around and ignored. Tech support here for ******** Lawn and Garden. Our company is trying to switch to paycor. Horrible support so far. When I try to login to support.paycor.com I get "We can't log you in because of an issue with single sign-on. Contact your Salesforce admin for help." I call support at 855-XXXX and the automated machine tells me I have to login to support to access the client ID for help. This is an endless loop I am trapped in. I tried a few times and got through the prompts and talked to a real life person in sales, the gale refused to help me because I did not know the client ID. I asked her to at least forward this systemic loop I was stuck in to her manager and she refused. She gave me a ** explanation about how it was more secure that I could not access anything. Long story short, Paycor has problems with people calling in for help so they just lock everyone out. Being too locked down is a decision that negatively impacts your customers, and using something like sales force for payroll related applications shows paycor does NOT really care about privacy or security in any serious capacity. Finally through emails one of the implementation specialist explained that they wont authorize our IT department to get support and that our HR director has to call in every time with us when we need IT help. I really recommend to anyone to NOT use this company the reality of what they really are is far separated from the front they put on and it shows when you actually talk to the staff. They know they work at a bad company.

      Terrible mistake switching over to Paycor. They have the worst customer service! Stay away by any and all means necessary! I wish the company I work for did better research before deciding to switch to Paycor. We were promised to be in implementation for 6 months with dedicated and knowledgeable reps, but were moved over to support within 2 months. They assigned us a rep who had no idea what he was doing only to create a mess that has yet to be cleaned up. The system is very slow, always glitching, and there is always a "system error" when trying to generate reports. Payroll is a huge mess and none of their reps know how to fix the issue which requires lots of manual work. Their sales rep vanished and does not respond to any emails. All the issues we have with the system has yet to be corrected from payroll, to timekeeping, and even recruiting. Paycor and their sales rep has failed at every promise that was made during the sales process. I strongly encourage anyone that is considering Paycor as their payroll company to look at other companies such as **** ********** ****** and save yourself the headache!

      I am extremely disappointed with the level of service provided by Paycor regarding their tax services. Their failure to set up these services properly has resulted in significant consequences for our company. Not only were our Q4 tax returns filed late, but we have also incurred penalties and interest from the state department of revenue for 11 of our companies. To make matters worse, we have outstanding penalties and interest letters that have been awaiting a response from Paycor since May. Despite our attempts to reach out through email to their support team, we have not received any reasonable response or resolution. This is absolutely unacceptable and indicates a lack of accountability and responsibility on their part. What adds insult to injury is the fact that we are now receiving calls from the Department of Revenue demanding immediate payment. It is deeply frustrating that we are left to deal with the consequences of Paycor's inadequate services, while they seemingly evade any responsibility. The lack of an escalation process and the refusal of management or senior-level staff to take our calls only heightens our frustration. In all my years of dealing with payroll companies, I can confidently say that Paycor has been the worst. Their incompetence and negligence have caused us significant financial burdens and stress. I strongly caution others to reconsider using Paycor for their payroll needs, as their lack of commitment to resolving issues and their disregard for their clients' concerns demonstrate a complete disregard for customer satisfaction.

      I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the unethical practices demonstrated by Paycor. My experience with them has been nothing short of a nightmare. It is evident that Paycor saw fit to exploit my busy schedule and capitalize on my lack of attention to detail to enroll me in their highest-priced service without my consent. To make matters worse, they went on to charge me for employees who hadn't received a single paycheck for an entire year. This blatant disregard for my financial wellbeing and their failure to even send me invoices throughout this ordeal is a testament to their lack of transparency and accountability. When I took the initiative to address this situation and request a reasonable refund or credit, my plea was met with an adamant denial. This level of customer care is both astonishing and appalling. It's clear that Paycor's primary concern is squeezing every penny out of their customers, regardless of the hardship it causes. Even after voicing my concerns and requesting to switch to a basic plan, Paycor continued to charge me exorbitant amounts that have left me feeling swindled. The audacity to disregard a customer's genuine request and continue to exploit them demonstrates a level of arrogance and greed that is incomprehensible. At this point, I can't help but feel like I've fallen victim to a criminal enterprise rather than a legitimate business. Paycor's actions have shattered any trust I had in their integrity and have left me grappling with the regret of ever getting involved with them. In the end, my experience with Paycor is a stark reminder that not all businesses have their customers' best interests at heart. Instead of providing a valuable service, they have demonstrated a complete lack of ethics and have transformed themselves into nothing short of a crime ring. I implore anyone considering their services to think twice and to steer clear of the deceitful and unscrupulous practices that Paycor so shamelessly embodies.

      First and foremost, I would like to express our sincerest apologies for the frustration you've experienced. At Paycor, our mission is to serve our clients with transparency and integrity, and it's evident that we missed the mark in your case. For clarity, our records indicate that you signed the Client Service Agreement (CSA) on 4/26/18. The CSA states that prices are guaranteed for 24 months from the date the first payroll was run, which, in your case, was on 6/27/2018. The agreement also outlines our billing procedure, specifically stating, "Clients sold on Subscription and PEPM Payroll Bundles are billed the same for all monthly services, including Payroll and HR Bundles. They are billed on the high water mark of active employees in Perform for that month." The CSA also clearly notes the protocol for disputing charges. It's worth noting that we took your concerns seriously. Two separate pricing review cases were submitted on your behalf. Additionally, two separate Client Success Managers reached out to inquire about your specific pricing concerns. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response from you. We understand you expressed dissatisfaction with the findings, but further communication would have allowed us to delve deeper into your concerns and potentially find a resolution that would have been satisfactory for both parties. While I deeply regret the inconvenience and frustration this has caused, based on our outreach, your CSA's provisions, and the lack of further communication, we believe this matter has been addressed appropriately. That being said, your feedback is invaluable. We always aim to improve, and understanding our clients' experiences is pivotal to that. Please reach out if you wish to discuss this further or have any other concerns.

      "Additionally, two separate Client Success Managers reached out to inquire about your specific pricing concerns. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response from you."Can you give me the exact dates of these attempts?, because I just searched all my in boxes and do not see what you are referring to. All I got from you is another bill trying to charge me for a earlier correction that my new payroll company discovered after the first Quarter had already ended. This was your mistake and you wanted to charge me an additional $200 to fix your mistake, because I didn't catch it soon enough. I am not claiming you did anything outside of our contractual agreement. I was simply asking for consideration for a credit on my account, so I didn't have to sell a kidney to keep my business going. You just referred to the signed contract that was signed by my now retired predecessor. Any communication from you was going to an email we no longer used and it was our general mailbox which is full of mostly junk and we never saw them. I am not claiming this was your fault, I was simply trying to adjust to a fair amount for both parties, and you wouldn't even budge on your one sided contract agreement. I have been a business owner for about 20 years, and never have I met with such customer consideration except with a company that has a basic monopoly in my area, and they were jerks, because they knew I had little choice but to use their services. You, however, have 9 very qualified competitors who do exactly the same service as you, and you treated me as if I had no other choice than to use you for payroll services. That is arrogant on your part, and (in my opinion) bad customer service, sorry. This "No credits will be given from billing as the billing is valid. " is cut and pasted from the last communication I received from you regarding this case. I am not disputing the validity of the billing, I was simply asking for a fair adjustment as to meet what you should have charged me had I discovered the billing change earlier. I was requesting a credit to my account, not a refund. Now that I am with another company for these services, and have downloaded all my records from your website as pertains to my account, the only resolution for you at this point is to offer the exact amount I was asking to be credited in a refund. If you refund that exact amount this issue will be resolved, and I will remove this thread. Otherwise, it will be here forever. The ball is in your court. What will you do about it? (This is not a threat, I ********** this as my only recourse to expose your one sided contract agreement. We as the customers have no choice but to sign the contract. You however, have the choice to make that contract fair for all parties.) I have relationships with numerous vendors and all of them reach out about once a year to see how things are going. You however do nothing of the sort. Again, you don't have to do that. It is just good customer service, especially since you have some awesome competitors in your industry. You need to change this behavior pretty soon, or you will likely get more reviews like mine. As I have asked around the industry, you already have a bad reputation in this area. Just sayin'. You need to train customer service personal, or salesman, and you need to change your one sided contract that all customers have to sign.

      Terrible service. They used to be great, I regret going back to them. They promised a dedicated rep. Lies, we did not recieve one. You will be pushed off after implementation and told to train yourself on all features via videos. They are constantly making changes to the reporting features that often cause them to malfunction. No accountability for lies and promises made when they sell you the packages and do not deliver. Look elsewhere.

      signing with Paycor was a big mistake, no customer support, late ******************** processing and lies instead of admitting mistakes, never received any good feed back or apologies for mistakes, I once called this company to inquire why we have not received our payroll checks and I was told that I called them at a busy time. I closed our accounts after a year and half worth of frustration and they continued to bill us for services that they did not provide, it was obvious that their system has a serious flaws, if you have two accounts that are tied together when you try to close your accounts the system will only close one account and give you a message that all associated accounts has been closed and no further action required, they will stop billing you for one account and continue to bill you for the second account even when their message said that all account has been closed and no further action required. I was told to take a picture of their message and send it to them and after that it took the associate over two hours to figure out how to close the second account.

      The person who assigned to assist our company is really bad, she is unprofessional, not willing to help, overall Paycor doesn't offer any help when the problem is coming from their system, when we have to add a new account for our payroll staff that connects to our ovee 300 clients, Paycor told us we have to add it one by one to link to the new account for our staff or they will charge $200 per hour if we need them to work for us, so ridiculous, their sales person never reply our email, their customers service do not have enough knowledge to answer our questions and offer help, they made mistake on our taxes filing, sent a ticket to them, never reply, I would not suggest Paycor to any company who is looking for payroll system, stay away from Paycor will make your work better.

      How? There are no account representatives? You call and someone that does not care about your account “creates a case” and it eventually gets an email from somebody that does not care about your case and then it is referred to somebody that sends an email that does not care about your case. I have yet to have a phone call about my problem.
      You do not understand or care about on going support. If you did some would call me.
      Remember this. Technology is not an excuse for customer support.
