    As an hourly employee, if you’re not signing off on worked hours, in some fashion, both you and the employer are fucking up big time.

    One call to the state labor board and the employer must prove hours worked, that you signed off on.

    They can’t do that? Then the employee gets everything claimed.

    SOURCE: Worked for a payroll firm for 5-years. Very eye opening.

      Absolutely, but theres a difference between wage theft and honest mistakes. You have to check for both. Its easy to write a 5 that looks like a 6 or someone forgetting to tick a box, etc.

      Just because you signed off on it doesnt mean it was input and processed correctly.
