Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, your employer is required to keep certain information regarding all non-exempt employees on file.
The Houston, Texas overtime lawyers at Kennedy Hodges, LLP realize that this requirement is important when it comes to properly documenting and compensating workers for overtime. Texas workers often are not paid their earned overtime, due to their fear of making a claim because they didn't save their paystubs. However, employers are required to keep a record of the hours their employees work and the compensation they receive in return.
Basic personal information that needs to be one file includes name, address, birth date, Social Security number, sex, and occupation. The employer is also required to keep detailed records of your hours worked and compensation earned for those hours.
To be more specific, the recording of a worker's hours and pay should include the employee's exact pay rate and whether that rate is paid by the hour or week. Records also should include the total earnings for the day or week, including overtime, as well as any additions or deductions in the wages. Pay records should indicate the date of the payment, the pay period that the payment covered, and how much the employee was paid.
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires that the above information be kept on file for three years, even if the employee stops working at the company during that time. Time cards or sheets must be kept on file for two years.
If you are dealing with an issue regarding unfair wages or unpaid overtime in Texas, this record-keeping rule could help you.
