Worked 80 hours in a pay period. Was shorted 8 hours on paycheck. Informed payroll clerk about it and she said since it appear to be my fault(which it wasnt) that they would put it on my next paycheck. She made it sound as if it is only issue with me but after speaking with other employees this happens ALOT.
Payroll says their guidelines are that if it's employee error it goes on the next check.
WV labor board said payroll has until 19 days to pay me the hours.
I did research and found that under the Fair Labor Standard Act they can't withhold my check for disciplinary action.
Basicially, wouldn't the federal law exceed state law? What can I should I do from here??
