Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

time sheet

i'm a fulltime employee at the same

place for 11 years, i do work more

than 40 hours per week, my

supervisor changes my time sheet

without my knowledge, per my own

record, between my 1 week personal

day, 1 week sick day and 2 weeks

vacation, i should have time left.

But my supervisor told me i don't.

when i work 10 hours, and handle

personal business for 2 hrs, i put

down 8 hours, but he actually put

down i worked 6 hours. i always put

down a 40 hours week because i

thought that's all i can put down

legally as a full time salary employee,

my supervisor told me i should put

down whatever hour i worked.

Re: time sheet

You should always put down actual hours worked when filling out a time sheet. As far as whether you are owed overtime pay, the fact that you worked is the important fact. If there are ways to demonstrate the hours other than the time sheet, you still may have a claim even if you put 40 hours per week on a time sheet. The big question here seems to be whether you are legitimately characterized as salaried. The label itself is often meaningless. You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to get some assistance and direction with this matter.

Re: time sheet

If you have to fill out a time sheet, you should put actual hours worked. Your supervisor should not be changing it. Depending on what you do, you may be a non-exempt or exempt employee for overtime purposes. If you would like to discuss your situation, please call my office.
