<prompt> Human: Recently, the owner of the business I work for admitted to me that he has taken reported hours off of the paychecks we receive. That means that the time logs we keep may report 50 hours worked in a pay period, but when he sends the numbers into a payroll company he will tell them 48-49 hours worked. There is no itemized reason for the deductions. No employees were informed until after the fact. There has been some question of this happening for about a year, but we had trouble proving it.Im wondering what I should do moving forward. It may be less than 20 a person, but its the idea of being stolen from that is more important. We are considering going to the labor bureau, but without computer documentation we are concerned we dont have enough evidence. Id love to hear some thoughts on this.  <response>: Start keeping a manual log of hours immediately. If you can get this dummy on the record about this, like with an email or text, that would help too. Department of Labor offers an iPhone app to manually track hours. And yes, file a wage claim with your state agency, or with the Department of Labor if there is no state agency.
