Yes.
No if you are told that you get paid by clocking in and out it is your responsibility to make sure you clock correctly if you want to get paid.
that's easy you just click the clock then wait.
No
I DO BELIEVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS YES!
Depending on the regularity of the hours, the employer might just manually input a clock-out time. For instance, if an employee works 9-5 every day, the employer can just change the clock-out time to 5 and double-check with the employee to make sure it's correct. Employee clock in software often eliminates this problem; some types will include an option for a reminder at the end of the day to clock out.
No. By law no employer can force you to work at all, especially without payment.
Get a lawyer.
It depends on your employer's policies. Some pay holiday pay to everyone, whether or not they work. Others only pay for time on the clock, even though it is a holiday. So if the employer closes, you would have to make up your hours at another time.

If you're an hourly employee, you're getting paid for your time. Typically at jobs where you "clock in" yes, the employer is supposed to pay you.
