I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY CAN SOMEBODY HELP !!!
Answer You need to talk to your HR or Payroll representative and find out why your check is short 4 hours. You cannot let it go, it is illegal to pay the employee less than what is earned.
If you cannot get answers from HR or Payroll go to the main boss and let him know your check is short 4 hours each time.
If that does not solve the problem than contact your Local Department of Labor and put in a claim for unpaid wages on the 8 hours unpaid. The two 4 hours variances.
