You know what your hour is worth. Do you know how many you worked?
Your pay stub is their record of the hours they paid you. This is yours: every shift, as you worked it.

Where the money goes missing
The schedule says one thing. What you actually worked says another. It's the fifteen minutes cashing up, the setting-up before you clock on, the break you didn't really take, the staying late “just this once” that became every shift — off-the-clock time that never lands on a pay stub, and overtime that quietly vanishes from it.
Off-the-clock work
Setting up before, cashing up after — all unclocked.
Vanished overtime
Extra hours that never make it onto the pay stub.
Shaved breaks
Breaks clocked as taken that you worked straight through.
Docked pay
Money taken off for uniforms, tills, or breakages.
“Everyone helps out”
Unpaid staying-back, treated as just part of the job.
Short pay stubs
A total that doesn't match the hours you worked.
≈ $370
Example from the demo case
In the demo case, nine late finishes over about a month add up to roughly 15½ unpaid hours — about $370 at the worker's $24 hourly rate, before docked pay and a missed break. Not a typical or promised result.
What you get
A dated record you build over time — and a report you can save as a PDF or download as a Word (.docx) document to hand over.
Every unpaid stretch, docked deduction and missed break, itemised into one dated record.
Isolated late finishes become a repeating pattern anyone can follow.
One organized report to take to the Department of Labor, a union, or a lawyer — saved as a PDF or a Word (.docx) file.
Any figure is an apparent shortfall based on your own records — arithmetic on the hours and pay you logged, not a legal determination. Whether any of it is owed is a question for the U.S. Department of Labor or an attorney.
Sound familiar?
“My boss keeps me back after close and it's never on my pay.”
Write down your real finish time each shift and set it against the pay stub. Over a few weeks the staying-back stops being “just this once” and becomes a dated pattern you can point to.
“They clock my break as taken when I worked straight through it.”
Note each break you missed and what you were doing instead. Break rules vary by state, but if you're still working, that time is generally work time.
