Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Re: Adjusting ''Clocked-In'' Hours

What you have described appears to be an illegal practice. You are going to want to have the workers start keeping independent track of their hours worked, breaks taken, etc. and then compare the time worked at the end of the work week with what is paid. Alternatively, obtaining copies of altered time cards would be good proof. However, his is sometimes very difficult to obtain.

As far as prosecuting this type of complaint, you would have 2 options: the Department of Labor or a private attorney. Typically, there are a lot of advantages to hiring your own attorney and private attorneys usually take a case like the one you have described on a straight contingency basis.
