<prompt> Human: I work at a car dealership, and throughout the week I write down all the hours I earned on each car, and then on Monday, my boss has a marker board we all write out ours down on and turn in our time cards, well he didnt have the board cleared off until Wednesday, so I turned in my hours then. Come to find out on Tuesday the other techs just cleared the board themselves which we never do and wrote their hours up, then my boss accounted their hours, but not mine, since I didnt have them up yet, and I was confused about this all week, then figured it all out today, well I bring it up with my boss, and all I got was him laughing at me and saying well you probably arent getting paid then... its not really in my budget to just hand my employer 45 hours of my time and entire paycheck for free...Assistant: I mean thats literally the only way that you track your hours? There is no other system that you use? You can keep escalating with your boss file a wage claim, but if you have no other proof you were working, this will be an uphill battle. Human: I have the time cards with me still since talking with him got no where  <response>: Cool, then this will be super easy. Try to be nice and get him to pay, and if not, take those with you and file a wage claim at the DOL.
