Take twenty seconds to Google wage theft vs other theft, then come back and respond again.

The boss counts the till at the end of the day for the same reason you should keep a diary with your hours worked including times and spend the 5 minutes to add it all up and check that you're being paid correctly.

They dont trust you, so you dont trust them.

As an hourly employee, if you're not signing off on worked hours, in some fashion, both you and the employer are fucking up big time.

One call to the state labor board and the employer must prove hours worked, that you signed off on.

They can't do that? Then the employee gets everything claimed.

SOURCE: Worked for a payroll firm for 5-years. Very eye opening.

Absolutely, but theres a difference between wage theft and honest mistakes. You have to check for both. Its easy to write a 5 that looks like a 6 or someone forgetting to tick a box, etc.

Just because you signed off on it doesnt mean it was input and processed correctly.
