Watch out for

HTML-to-PDF converters often break with complex CSS grids so use simple table-based layouts for reliability.
Google Drive API quotas can be exceeded during bulk onboarding so implement retry logic with exponential backoff.
Email delivery may fail if the recipient address is malformed so validate email format before sending.
Sensitive employee data must not be logged in plain text so sanitize all audit trail entries.
