Back to EpisodesYou Won’t Believe Who’s On Your Payroll — The HR Oversight That Slipped Through ⭐
Description
Every company assumes they know who’s on their payroll.
That assumption might be doing a lot of heavy lifting.
In this episode, we break down a situation where someone ended up on payroll who absolutely, positively… should not have been there. Whether it was a breakdown in hiring, onboarding, or basic oversight, this is one of those stories that makes you wonder how often things like this happen without anyone noticing.
We get into:
- How hiring and onboarding processes can fail in surprisingly simple ways
- The risks of poor HR oversight and internal controls
- Why payroll errors aren’t always just “accounting problems”
- And how something like this can go unnoticed longer than anyone would like to admit
It’s part cautionary tale, part “how did no one catch this,” and a reminder that even routine processes can go sideways if no one’s really paying attention.
If you’ve ever trusted the system a little too much… this one might make you double-check a few things.
