It snowed 24 inches and I was unable to make it in the last day of that pay period. One of the other supervisors altered the time sheet even though it was already signed by my supervisor. Is this legal?

In case you are wondering, my immediate supervisor was going on vacation and we had to sign the timesheets in advance.

Any changes made to a time sheet MUST be initialed by YOU. What they did is illegal.

Having to fill out a timesheet in advance is a bad situation, because you sign and say you worked a day in the future, when you cannot possibly know that.
What they did may have not been ethical, but the alternative might have been far worse, no paycheck, or having a short paycheck in the future from overpayment.
Before getting angry at your supervisor, point out any errors and ask that they be corrected.
Good luck with it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Managers would have favored friends clock in beforehand for the electronics section, yet meaning you've might want to be THERE too. You werent operating, you keen to break once you concept replaced into ideal, you've been outdoors taking a personal call, all at the same time as on the clock. You knew you've been scheduled for 8:30, yet you clocked in at 8am and disappeared. In an essence, you probably did thieve 30 to 35 minutes of pay, to do what you wanted. i understand callers can go away a voicemail. you'll screw your self even extra in case you try to create some loopy concept that this replaced into even remotely linked to wrongful discrimination. This replaced right into a firing for violating employer coverage, not some thing else. there is not some thing extra to do and taking it any extra ought to outcome in larger mess that you may under no circumstances completely freshen up

Let's back up a second and address something else first. My assumption is that you completed your time sheet ahead of time assuming that you would be working that final day of the pay period. Your supervisor naturally assumed that you would be working a full day as well. However, you did not work that final day of the pay period and my assumption is that the other supervisor made the necessary corrections to your time card so that it more accurately reflected your work time. I don't believe this is illegal. This is one of the problems that people encounter when completing their time sheets ahead of time. The question you need to ask yourself is, "Which time sheet more accurately reflects the hours you worked for the period?".

Are you saying that you filled out your time sheet ahead of time and signed it? If that is the case you and your immediate superviser are the ones who are wrong. Your timesheet should reflect what time you've worked, not what time you PLAN to work.

They can inform you that you incorrectly completed your timesheet and tell you how to fix it. By altering a document that has been signed without getting the initial of the signers, they are committing fraud.
(Of course, if you knowingly incorrectly complete your timesheet YOU are committing fraud. Not that you did, I'm just sayin'.)

I don't really see the problem with this unless they took off too many hours (i.e. you worked 32 but they put down 30).
You didn't work that day, so they changed it to reflect that.

While it might not be right, did you get paid on time and receive what you expected to receive?
In other words, did they do you a favor or hurt you in some way?

Are they superior to your supervisor?
I would ask. If not, then maybe you should contact the Labor Board.
