Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah

After being terminated from my last job, my former employer decided not to pay me for all of the hours I had already worked. In fact they waited over a month to pay me at all (for 60 of the 75 hours I had worked). They told me that this was because I didn't have a detailed record of the hours I worked (did X from hour Y to hour Z on day W). It is true that I didn't have a record of those hours, but I was never even told to keep one until AFTER I WAS TERMINATED. Do I have the right to be paid for the additional hours? How about interest on the time between when I should have been paid, and the time I was paid?

You are entitled to be paid, but must be able to prove you did the work. Witnesses who can corroborate your work hours may be sufficient. You may also file a claim with the Dept of Labor and get a hearing. You have the right to subpoena the employer's records and witnesses. Good luck
