VIDEO: HR Software Series | Paycor: The HR Superhero with an Awesome Mobile App

Transcription

Hello! I’m Justin Fraction from TechnologyAdvice and today we’re giving you the details on one of our top picks for HR software: Paycor or their mobile app! You see, we love mobile apps here at TechnologyAdvice. We love them so much we’re doing a whole series on our favorites for HR administration that you’re right in the middle of so let’s go! Paycor is an HCM (human capital management) suite used by organizations to manage the HR requirements of their businesses.

Paycor’s suite is divided into modules, including core HR, payroll, benefits administration, talent acquisition, workforce management, performance management, employee engagement, and learning and development modules. Paycor’s mobile app is nothing short of a delight: much like me performing Rock Around the Clock on stage during my first-grade graduation show. How did that kid not end up on Broadway? The world may never know. Paycor is scalable, meaning, that as you increase product tiers the functionality of their mobile app expands to include, for instance, more performance and engagement functions.

Paycor’s mobile app gives employees the ability to allow people to clock in and out in order to self-service their own time. Employees can also check their calculated overtime or benefit deductions through the app to make sure the time listed is accurate. Paycor has employee financial wellness tools for budgeting, financial counseling, direct bill pay, and discounts that you can use on the mobile app. These give employees more control over their money for greater financial security, like saving for future goals or managing debt.

Speaking of self-service, employees can print, view or download pay stubs and important tax documents like W-2s or 1099s from Paycor’s app. This convenient access can help empower employees so they won’t need to contact HR when they need those things. You know, I read this article that said that really brilliant, amazing, talented, and hardworking people - like the ones that watch our videos - respond well to bullet points so let’s share some of those to give you a rundown of things our experts noted.

The app gives you the ability to enroll or change benefits so you can streamline benefits administration. There is support for learning and development, recognition, and direct communication between the employees and the employer. It also has a time clock feature to let you click in and out, shift changes, and get manager approval. On the flip-side … Companies cannot use the app to complete payroll processes remotely. Managers have to download a separate Paycor Scheduling app to create and manage them.

Also, users report some glitches when capturing clock-in/out data for shifts. We feel the mobile app is best if you’re looking to minimize administrative follow-up with employees on payroll-related processes. We also like that time tracking, PTO, and benefits changes that are requested on Paycor’s mobile app flow automatically into payroll processes. We love Paycor like it’s one of our own children and we’re happy to see how much it has grown over the years but don’t get us wrong, we love it the same as we love BambooHR, Sage HR, Connecteam, and Homebase which we’ll cover in future videos.
