Can your employer withhold your pay if you forget to clock in?

Absolutely not. The employer MUST pay you for the time that you actually worked. And, they must pay you on payday. Failing to pay you is a violation of federal law. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to pay at least the federal minimum wage of $5.85 per hour, for every hour worked. (Many states also have a state minimum wage that is enforced by the state department of labor.) If an employer is withholding your pay because you forgot to clock out, you need to contact the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. They will contact the employer on your behalf and make sure that you get paid. For more information on the FLSA in your state, see www.humanresourceblog.com
