Shawnee Health Service Discovers a More Reliable and Accurate HR & Payroll Solution with Paycor



“When we decided to switch providers, Paycor was the only one that offered to come on site and provide a demo. They brought a team of implementation and healthcare experts to answer our questions and review our needs.”
- Derek Olsen, Employee Services Coordinator
Why Shawnee Health Service Left Their HR & Payroll Provider
Shawnee Health Service is a Federally Qualified Health Center providing comprehensive primary and preventive care, including health, oral and mental health/substance abuse services to persons of all ages throughout southern Illinois. When implementation errors and setup issues created several software problems, they immediately began searching for a new solution that would have the knowledge and expertise to handle their complex HR and payroll needs.
Prior to Paycor
The HR & payroll system was not integrated which led to discrepancies between time off calculations and benefits rates. Worst of all, when administrators needed support, the provider was slow to respond. The lack of support and constant errors caused the employees to lose faith in the system.
Challenges
- Error-filled implementation
- Disconnected systems
- Poor customer service
- Inaccurate benefit rates
- Lack of trust
With Paycor
The switch to Paycor has resulted in time savings and increased efficiencies across the organization. Administrators’ questions are met with immediate responses from the Paycor team. Processing payroll with Paycor is seamless, eliminating hours spent reviewing and verifying employee records. Paycor’s goal tracking and performance review functionality has eliminated paperwork and cut out time-consuming manual processes.

Once a cumbersome, manual process, employee performance reviews are now fully automated.

recruit, onboard, pay and retain their workforce.
