What do you do when your supervisor doesn't pay you for time worked in NY State ?

Question

A friend of mine has been working crazy hours because of a staff shortage. Last week they submitted their signed time sheet to their supervisor with a lot of OT hours. The supervisor then submitted another time sheet to payroll minus the OT hours, this time sheet was unsigned,(which is against company procedure). When the payroll dept. called the supervisor about the unsigned time sheet, the supervisor said the employee knew all about it when they in fact did not.

I say that behavior is criminal. Does anyone have any idea's of how to proceed?

Answer 1

Contact the department of labor and file a wage claim. It will take time, but the wages will be recovered.
