Paycor Payroll Services's Offerings
For businesses under 50 employees, Paycor offers 4 pricing tiers. Businesses with over 50 employees require a consultation with a representative.
As of this review, they are also running several sign-up offers to include 50% off the first year and all setup fees waived.
Here’s a look at the 4 plans for businesses with less than 50 employees:
Customer Support
Paycor offers customer support via phone Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET for Payroll, and 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET for all other products.
They have an online Support Center divided into categories for Employers, Administrators, and News, along with a limited on-screen chatbot.
Online Chatbot
The site features a Chatbot named “Cora” for quick questions. It does, however, only allow one to choose from pre-loaded responses before trying to connect you with the sales team.
Live Phone Conversation
As a non-user, all roads lead to a live conversation with one of their agents. I was able to get through in 3 rings and the representative was helpful.
There is also a Paycor forum for employers to share and discuss issues with the software under the Product Feedback button:
Paycor also has a dedicated YouTube Channel for tutorials and new product reveals:
Overall Experience
Before signing up, help options are limited to phone consultations. After creating an account, there are email options and dedicated staff available. I found the customer service options to be limited for those who mind being on the phone.

Verdict:
Paycor is best for small to medium-sized businesses looking for a comprehensive human capital management solution. Pricing for under 50 employees is straightforward and per employee. For more than 50 employees you’ll have to contact a representative.
The software is feature-rich, offering a wide range of HR, payroll, and time and attendance tools to help streamline HR processes. Paycor also integrates with other popular business applications, such as QuickBooks and ADP.
Support is limited to business hours, and the employer dashboard takes some getting used to.
