How Are My Responsibilities for My Time Records?

As an employee, the responsibility of making sure you are paid correctly for your hours falls on your shoulders not your employers. To ensure that you are being compensated appropriately, make sure that you clock in and out each day. If you forget to clock in or out, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your employer knows your mistake and corrects the time for you. Most employers use punch systems that allow you to see your hours worked at the end of the day or week. Double checking to ensure everything is accounted for is best practice. Then, follow up to ensure all of the hours are on your paycheck.
