Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Employee Time Records

I have asked my former employer's HR department (located in

California) for copies of my time records and hours worked.

Upon the request, I was told the only way to get them was to

contact the Corporate Payroll department (in another state

on the east coast). When I contacted that office, they said

they could not provide those records either and to recontact

the HR department.

Am I entitled to these records upon request? How far back

am I entitled to go, and what does someone do next to get

those records? (Requests were made both via fax, letter

AND telephone correspondence, with copies kept).

Re: Employee Time Records

If you signed the time records you are entitled to copies of them under California law. Employers must hold on to these records for at least three years.
