Now the part the government cares about. A wage protection system is a file the state can audit. Cash leaves no trace. Non-payment becomes invisible. This makes it visible the same month. Skip it, and you stop being able to hire. The panel tells you if you're ready. Today, no. All but one of them, ready. One person has no bank account on file. Red blocks. Amber generates anyway, flagged. It won't let you file blind. Fix it. Ready to file. Read that last line carefully. Not certified. Validate it with your bank first.
Frequently asked questions
What is a wage protection system file?
A file the state can audit, showing that people were paid. Cash leaves no trace and non-payment becomes invisible; the WPS file makes it visible in the same month.
What happens if a company skips WPS?
You stop being able to hire. That is why the readiness panel gates the file rather than letting you file blind.
What blocks WPS readiness?
A missing bank account is red and blocks; amber generates anyway but flagged. The panel tells you whether you are ready today, and the last line says plainly that the file is not certified — validate it with your bank first.
