Wage Records

Your employer hands you a lump sum in cash every week. You worked more than 40 hours that week, and your employer does not give you a written statement with your payment of the hours worked, rates paid and any allowances claimed. Employers do this because they don’t want to make a record that you may not be getting the minimum wage or overtime as required by law, or because he wants you to work off the clock for free. The employer cannot hide wage violations by not giving you the written statement of rate of pay and any overtime that you worked. An accurate record of your hours and rate of pay is required by law and must be given to you.
