    This feels painfully familiar. Our first cutoff problem was not the formula; it was missing job status changes that nobody thought to flag.

    The dry run point is so true. We now do a short pre-cutoff review every payday week and it saves a lot of backtracking.

    I like the reminder that payroll issues often start as HR data issues. That framing helps when asking managers to update records on time.
