Payroll, People & Penalties: The Compliance Risks You Won't See Coming
Wednesday, 27th May 2026
11:00am - 12:00pm BST

Nike, Microsoft, and Uber collectively paid over $700 million in compliance-related penalties in recent years.

If this can happen to three of the world’s most resourced companies what does that mean for your business?

Compliance risks rarely hide in the obvious places. They hide in the cracks between payroll systems, HR records, and legal obligations that don’t talk to each other. One system classifies a worker as a contractor, another pays them like an employee. A benefits platform isn't updated to reflect the latest regulations. Individually, these feel like small oversights. Together, they become vastly expensive blind spots.

In this webinar, Rippling’s Principal Solutions Consultant Laura Burns reveals the unseen payroll and people pitfalls that threaten businesses of every size and the very visible penalties that follow when they go unchecked.

Join us and learn:

  • Why payroll must be seen as a compliance function, not just a transaction tool, to mitigate risk

  • How Fragmented HR data and isolated systems can be a major liability - and what to do about it

  • What steps to take to avoid risking costly penalties that also damage reputation, culture, and growth
