I work for a corporate owned restaurant. I was wondering if it is against the law for the managers to change your time record back to 40 hours if you work more than 40 hours, so you don't have overtime. Also, is it againt the law for the managers to go back into your tips claimed and change it so you are claiming at least minimum wage?Restaurant managers changing time records?
I am not sure about the tips as I have never worked in the service industry, but it is illegal for anyone to change your time card to deduct time actually worked. If we're talking about 7 or 8 minutes, then yes, they can change that to the nearest hour. If we're talking about 30 minutes or an hour, then no, they can not change that especially if you were approved to be working during that period. If you do not get satisfaction from your manager when you ask him about it, go over his head. If you have no other recourse, contact your local labor board for information on labor laws or to file a complaint.Restaurant managers changing time records?
Everyone knows that changing the time cards is illegal. Sounds like your boss is trying to hide his payroll. Every corporate or franchise restaurant has a head office you can call. I went through this when I worked at perkins in florida. My GM took money we were suppose to use for a washer and dryer and brought in her own from home. And put the new ones in her house!...Ended up sending information to corporate headquarters...she went to jail...and I found myself another job.
If you need help finding your companies headquarters or how to do it without currently getting fired email me... I can help.

Yes both are illegal. The only way for you to prove your time is to keep all of you time slips. If you have not done this then you are out of luck for past incidents, but remember to keep them for future. About the tips, remember it is also illegal to claim less than 100% of your tip income at the end of your shift. They are doing this to save money. Many places have policies that require them to pay you at least minimum wage if you don't make enough in tips and others are required to by law. If they really are claiming more than you made then I would make issue of it otherwise let it go. Remember to fight for your rights, but do so effectively. You do not want to end up out of a job because you blew the whistle without cause. If they keep this up after you confront them you can contact your local labor board to have them investigate.Restaurant managers changing time records?
