Overtime Pay: What Records Should You Keep?

AI-generated fictional scene: Overtime Pay: What Records Should You Keep?

General legal information, not advice for a specific case. Check current law and the facts of your situation before acting.

If overtime pay looks wrong, do not rely on memory alone. I’m Attorney Nok, and I suggest putting actual start and finish times alongside shift rosters, overtime requests, approval messages, and the matching payslip.

Suppose your supervisor asks you to stay late on three evenings, but the payslip lists overtime for only one. Write down the dates and hours, then ask payroll which hours were counted and which pay period they fall in. Save the written explanation.

Overtime on ordinary workdays, work on holidays, and overtime on holidays may follow different rules; some jobs have exceptions. If the figures still do not match, take the records to a labour inspector for case-specific guidance.
