Erika H
Vice President
5.0

Erika: Hi, my name's Erika. And I am vice president, and I rate Open Time Clock a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before we changed over to Open Time Clock, we were using the old paper system, where CSRs would send us their hours when they got here, and send them to us when we got back. And not only was that cumbersome and time consuming, but it allowed for a lot of error. And I'm sure a lot of overpay that happened. We chose to switch over to Open Time Clock, because it's super easy to use. It's very economical. And the reporting is incredible. Open Time Clock was very easy to begin with. All we had to do is enter in all of our customer reps, names and emails, and pay rate, and it does rest. We can set up PTO in there, holiday pay. That took just a little bit of learning, but not a big learning curve. Probably maybe an hour, or two hours, to get it up and running. If you're considering changing your time clock, or time tracking application, and are looking for a very cost effective, easy product to use, I highly recommend checking out Open Time Clock. It is truly the most economical product out there, that will make your life so much easier.

David P
HR Manager
5.0

David: My name is David. I'm an HR manager, and I work for a nonprofit company that's got about 250 employees. I would give Paycor a solid five. Previously, we were using a system called Zenefits, which was not very robust. They had pretty poor customer service, and it just was a little glitchier than anybody really liked. It also was not very intuitive to use. We chose Paycor, because we tested several different companies. They were the company that really seemed to care the most about what our experience was going to be after implementation. A lot of great demos, a lot of assurances that the things that we were looking for, like an intuitive interface that employees would enjoy using the app from their perspective. And yeah, they just promised us that if there wasn't something that was working for us, that we could look at it, and they have absolutely lived up to that promise. So implementation of Paycor was the easiest thing I think I've ever done. When we switched providers previously, a couple of years before that, to Zenefits, that process took about two weeks and was labor-intensive. When we implemented Paycor, they walked us through the process. It took less than two hours and we were done. And it worked beautifully from day one, pretty much. So to anybody who's looking at switching HRIS systems, I would say test drive as many as you can. Look at the features that are going to be most important to you, whether it's timekeeping or reporting. For us, what was most important was going to be customer service, because we do have a very unusual setup and we knew that we would need to reach out from time to time with different issues. And they have absolutely lived up to their promises of excellent customer service.
