What Unoptimized HRIS Systems Cost

These aren't theoretical risks — they're real fines paid by real companies every year. Each bar shows how much exposure your organization carries with an unoptimized HRIS.

ACA / IRS Employer Mandate
$2,970/employee/yr
Wrong safe harbor codes or unfiled 1095-Cs. 300 employees = $891,000 annual exposure.
✓ Optimized via Dayforce ACA rebuild
FLSA Wage & Hour
Up to $10,000/violation
Poor T&A rules, pay group mismatches, overtime errors. Willful violations double back-pay.
✓ Optimized via T&A rules re-engineering
ERISA Benefits Notices
$110/day/participant
30-day gap × 50 employees = $165,000. Carrier mismatches compound for months.
✓ Optimized via automated carrier feeds
SECURE 2.0 / 401(k)
$500 – $250,000
Nondiscrimination failures or misconfigured Roth deferrals compound across plan years.
✓ Optimized via 401(k) data architecture
Payroll Tax Penalties
2% – 15% of deposit
Unoptimized GL workflows cause late deposits. $5M quarterly payroll = $750K risk.
✓ Optimized via GL validation workflows
Data Privacy / GDPR
4% of Annual Revenue
HRIS security misconfigurations expose PII. $50M revenue company = $2M exposure.
✓ Optimized via HRIS security restructure
