:mad:

i have recently noticed that some hours were disappearing from my check.
in a 96 hour pay period in which i worked 98 hours only 86 hours was on my check. when i told him about it he said that is all the time that he showed me as me working. after looking back on earlier pay stubs that he has been doctering the pay roll for some time. (changing or deleting hours as he wants to). what to do???

Wow...that is terrible. You can report him to either your state labor commission (not all states have them) or to the Wage and Hour Division of the federal government. You can find your local office by looking in the phone book under United States Government (the special section for federal offices) US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division.

You will need to go to the office and complete a claim form. They will investigate the matter and try to get the money for you (if they feel that the claim has validity).

Let me know if you have any trouble looking them up. Good luck to you.

My husband works for a company that has been using a policy that if the employees are late they dock them five minutes forevery minute they are late can they do this or can we do anything about it. :mad: all feedbacks welcome. mad in kansas

Deducting money from the employee's pay is not legal in circumstances as you describe. Your husband may wish to talk to the US Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-487-9243. They can talk to him about the types of deductions that are permissable.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.
