Question
Hi I have been working for my boss for a year. my regular hours are 10 am- 4 pm. sometimes my boss makes me come in early or leave late, so I put my hours on my time sheet and at the end of the week, she changes them to 10-4 even if she had me stay an hour late or something. now I found my copies of my time sheets and for the past 7 monthes she's been whiting out some of my hours whithout me knowing. I'm pretty sure this is illegal and what should i do?
You should report it to your local department of labor. This is illegal and it is falsifying a legal document. Timesheets are legal documents and are not to be changed without the approval of the employee and then if the change is made they should be initialed by the employee.
She is doing this to keep from paying overtime pay. This is highly illegal and you should take your copy of the correct timesheets to the department of labor and they will see that you are paid the time you worked and did not get paid. If it would have been overtime than you will be paid it at overtime wages.

I can answer questions about payroll laws and payroll tax laws and Human Resource laws and agencies. I can answer federal payroll and human resource law questions and most states; I do not have a knowledge of the local taxes for cities and counties within the state. If and when I can I will try and send you the website where you can reference the answer and where you can obtain more information as well as a contact number if needed for that particular agency. Some agencies I have worked with are IRS, Department of Labor (federal and state), Revenue Canada (and provincial governments), Inland Revenue, OSHA (0ccupational Safety and Health Administration); Social Security Administration and National Child Support as well as other agencies in Payroll and Human Resources. Some Laws I am particularly familiar with are FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act), ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act), FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act ) , QDRO's, QMCSO's, and other support orders and garnishments, USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Remployment Rights Act,PPA Act (Pension Protection Act of 2006, As well as most other employment type acts. I am also well versed in the Title V Civil Rights Act and the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
