Paycor

Cloud HR, payroll, talent and workforce management platform for mid-sized and enterprise employers.

About Paycor

Paycor is a human capital management (HCM) platform that brings HR, payroll, talent, workforce management, benefits administration and analytics into one system. It is aimed at mid-sized businesses and larger employers, and the company is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States.

The platform includes an AI assistant called WISE, which Paycor describes as an expert-enabled AI teammate that monitors, guides and acts on a user's behalf inside the tools they already use. Paycor states that its AI is built to support human expertise in HR rather than replace it.

Paycor also offers an employee mobile app, a marketplace of pre-built integrations, and developer tools including more than 140 APIs. Managed payroll, HR and professional services are available alongside the software.

  • Payroll, tax compliance and expense management
  • Recruiting, onboarding and talent development
  • Time and attendance, and scheduling
  • Benefits administration, ACA reporting and workers' compensation

Paycor's materials focus on United States payroll, tax and compliance rules. Buyers in Ghana or elsewhere in Africa should confirm with Paycor whether it can support their country before purchase.
