Employer cutting my hours already worked? |
I received my paystubs and it shows that my employer has deducted time I have worked while clocked in to keep me under 40 hours. (ie:) I clock in at 9am till 5:42pm and next to it it says that it was modified to 9am-5:30pm although i worked till 5:42pm. is this legal? No. Unless the employer did not approve for you to work overtime then he doesn't have to pay you. No it is not legal. Employers must pay you for all time you worked. If they modify your time card they need to have your permission. Well, if he's going to pay you for 40 hours , work 40 hours. And if they gave you some kinds of Company Policy Booklet. Read it over. It may give you a clue. You must get paid for all the time you have worked and that includes any overtime. It is not right that your employer is not paying you for the extra time you have worked. They do have to pay you. But also, it is not alright if you are abusing a "no overtime" policy. If you know that employees are not allowed overtime, then I think you should pay extra attention to your hours to prevent any problems with HR or your boss. Also....Some companies have the five minute rule. If you are late 5 minutes, you are deducted 15 minutes of your time. Check the time policy with HR or your boss. Remember....You are owe that money if you indeed worked overtime. Walmart lost a multi million $$$ lawsuit due to not paying hours worked by employees. business student Yes .Your employer stil must pay you as you were on the clock .Even if he did not approve your overtime . He may document you on this occurance ,but he still must pay you the time that you were on the clock Technically, it's illegal,even if you didn't have permission to work overtime. In practice, unless you're in a union, complaining about it could get you fired. Ask nicely, and you should be able to get comp time. |
