Tips to make sure you are paid for every single working hour

There is no denying the fact that some employers cheat their workers and do not pay them properly. If you or your dear ones have ever faced such injustice, in spite of working off the clock, then you have all the rights to sue the employer for your wages.

 

If you are not sure, whether your employer is paying you for your complete working hours or not, then here are few tips to adhere, in order to get your rightful wages-

• Keep record of your working hours. Many employers make improper adjustments in the working hours of the employee in order to save their few bucks. You should not rely upon them completely because if you need to sue them later on, you will need to show your working hour records.
• Different workplace has different policies and procedures. At the time of joining, worker has to sign the manual. To be on the safe side, workers should keep one copy of the manual with them. This is because often employers contradict with the policies mentioned in the manual.
• Additional records proving you have worked overtime must be collected. This will also prove to be great evidence when filing a lawsuit against the employer.
• Maintain copy of your paystubs. This will also prove to be of great help, when needed to file a case against the employer.
• Colleagues who are also not being paid for their overtime can also prove to be good corroborator for your case.
• In order to get rightful compensation, you must contact an overtime lawyer who is well versed with employee rights. Discuss your case with an experienced lawyer. You should provide him all the evidences related to your working hours and manual of the employment law firm. In case, you do not have any evidence, then also the lawyer will guide you and help you get fair compensation.
