Q: Can an employer keep an employee from printing their clock-out slip legally?
When I clock out at work (fast food industry) it gives the option for me to print the slip. I decided for the first time to print this slip out but my manager saw me and said I am not allowed to print this out. I noticed my check did not include the 2 hours overtime I worked this paycheck so I would like to print out my clock-out slip in order to keep up with my hours every week. Can my employer legally stop me from printing it out?
A: No. All he can do is fire you if you do.
