WHY KEKA?

Paylocity: “all-in-one” or all over the place?

Let’s be honest, Paylocity covers the basics. But when your business wants to break the mold, you deserve an HR platform that keeps up. Paylocity promises an all-in-one experience, but here’s what users have encountered:

State tax chaos

Managing tax compliance across states is a hassle. Teams often spend extra time double-checking details just to stay accurate.

Manual PTO math

Time, payroll, and HR modules don’t always talk to each other. Need accurate PTO balances? You’re stuck with manual calculations.

Feature fragmentation

Features exist, but the platform feels like a bunch of disconnected modules. That seamless integration users are waiting for is still missing.

Pay more, get less flexibility

Expanding your team or needing support often means hidden fees, a low to nil response rate, and limited options. Growing with Paylocity can quickly get expensive and complicated.
