Paycor Mobile 4+

I work at a public library and I have been employed there for nearly nine and a half years. Our employees have used the PAYCOR website on the computers to sign in and clock in when starting our work day, just to name a couple. Our library recently introduced the employees to the mobile version of the PAYCOR app. I decided to download this app on my iPhone and signed in to my employee account. The colorful and unique features of this app totally BLEW ME AWAY! Beside the nice greeting, I found the app pretty easy to use, compared to the other version of PAYCOR. I like when I am able to view my pay stubs and my W-2 forms. I also like the employee directory. It provides a photo, the full name, and the position of each employee. I feel that this is an important feature that helps new employees learn the names of current library staff. I will be using this app a whole lot! I will DEFINITELY download this app on my iPad. Every business SHOULD have this app for their employees.

I’ve had this app for awhile now, and it has been better than any of the other apps I’ve used for work out there, but with the new update, it brought new problems. This morning I went to look at my schedule, everything was running just as smooth as it usually does, then BAM! The app COMPLETELY freezes! Now, at first I figured it was just me. So I decided I’d try again later, only for it to happen again. I try over and over just to look at my schedule and everything Insta freezes and I can no longer scroll through. And at this point it’s either I forcibly exit or it kicks me to the Home Screen. Today I go to work, and low and behold- it’s happening to everyone else. I figured it was just me, despite my phone running well, but no. Most people at work seem to have this problem since last night! I love this app, and it’s been really helpful to me, but I get stressed out easily. And not seeing my schedule stresses me out, please help!

This app has always been very convenient for keeping up with pay and deductions with minimal issues…however, recent changes were implemented that require ALL users to submit to location tracking for its usage. The claim is for accurate Clock In and Clock Out for those who it, but here’s the rub - not everyone using Paycor uses that feature. My time sheet, for example, is a simple Excel sheet I type up myself and submit to the office - no official clock in requirements necessary. Location tracking should never be required of any users of this app unless said users are utilizing the time card function. I’m likely deleting this app from my phone now for this very reason. And if my employer can see my location anytime I access the app, then that’s all the more reason to ditch it.
