Paycor vs Homebase: Which is a better fit?

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.

Amy: I'm Amy. I'm the director of a child care center. We have about 30 employees and I rate Homebase a five out of five stars. Prior to Homebase, we did staffing manually, but I did research a lot of different companies trying to find companies that could do what I needed them to do to make staffing and time keeping a lot easier, and overall, Homebase had the best value for the features that were offered and ease of use. I went with Homebase primarily because they provided the tools that I needed to make staffing a lot easier and less stressful for my employees and myself, and because the pricing included a lot more than a lot of the other companies were providing. At the time that I actually started using Homebase, a lot of the staff members that I had were not very open to moving to a online app-type platform, but once we started using it and they realized how easy it was, it was super easy to transfer over to that type of system compared to the manual system we were using prior. I highly recommend giving Homebase a try. Over the years, I have ventured out just to see if there are other things that do work as well, and there's not, especially not for the price points. Even if you've come across a little bit of resistance from staff or other board members or whatever, I promise, you give it a try, you will never want to go back.
