Guideline brings seamless retirement benefits to Paycor customers

As part of our mission to make retirement benefits accessible to all, our suite of custom-built integrations continues to grow. Today, we’re delighted to announce the addition of Paycor to our roster of fully integrated payroll partners.

Paycor is a disruptive HCM platform that modernizes every aspect of people management, from recruiting and onboarding all the way through career development and retention. As an all-in-one human capital management platform, Paycor empowers leaders with everything they need to drive business results. Paycor is currently squarely focused on the mid-market; serving more than 50,000 businesses and 2.7 million employees across the US—so we’re excited for this integration to bring seamless, automated retirement benefits to their customers nationwide.

In 2024 we built seven custom integrations with payroll partners, including Paycor. We believe in creating technology-first, quality experiences with our partners for our 55,000 small business customers¹ across the US, and secure, custom integrations are the key to delivering that outcome. Each payroll partnership is built with a two-way integration between our platforms. This means no third parties or middlemen interfering with your employee’s access to their benefits—or their data privacy.

Here’s a preview of what you can expect from the Guideline-Paycor integration:

A great product experience for employees

Guideline’s award-winning mobile app² and intuitive dashboard make for a modern experience for our customers’ employees.

As one customer, Brandy L. at Cashiers Valley Pharmacy, says,

"Our employees love the Guideline mobile app. They can see their investment performance in real-time, make changes without waiting on admins, call Guideline’s support team directly — it’s been a big hit."
