Frequently Asked Questions

What is payroll processing?

Payroll processing is the end-to-end workflow of calculating employee wages, withholding taxes, managing deductions and benefits, and issuing payments each pay cycle. Done manually, it’s error-prone and time-consuming – which is why most growing US businesses move to automated payroll processing software.

Does Keka's payroll processing software support all 50 states?

Yes. Keka handles federal, state, and local tax calculations across all 50 states – including multi-state employees, remote workers, and employees who move between jurisdictions. SUI/SUTA rates, locality taxes, and reciprocity rules are applied automatically every pay run.

How does automated payroll processing reduce errors?

Automated payroll processing eliminates the manual touchpoints where mistakes happen – data re-entry, missed deductions, incorrect overtime calculations. When time, benefits, and employee data flow directly into payroll from connected systems, every calculation starts from accurate inputs.

Can Keka handle both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors?

Yes. Keka processes payroll for full-time employees, hourly workers, and independent contractors in the same system – with the right tax logic applied automatically for each worker type, so nothing needs to be handled separately.

What should a payroll processing system include?

A good payroll processing system should cover automated tax calculations, multi-state compliance, direct deposit, benefits and deductions sync, garnishment processing, year-end filings like W-2s and 1099s, and a full audit trail. Integration with time, attendance, and HR data is what separates solid systems from spreadsheet replacements.

How does Keka connect time and attendance to payroll?

Approved hours, overtime, and shift data flow directly from Keka’s time and attendance module into payroll – with FLSA-compliant overtime and regular rate calculations applied automatically. Nothing needs to be exported or manually entered before running payroll.

How does payroll software handle year-end processing?

Payroll processing software automatically consolidates earnings, deductions, and tax data across the year to generate accurate W-2s and 1099s. Good systems flag discrepancies before year-end so there are no last-minute corrections with the IRS or state agencies.

Can Keka handle payroll across multiple legal entities?

Yes. Keka supports multi-entity payroll with centralized oversight – so you can manage subsidiaries and business units separately while maintaining consolidated reporting. Payroll costs map to the right business units automatically, without manual spreadsheet work.
