    No Paycheck!
    Hi my husband works for a railroad contractor. His boss is refusing to pay him this weeks paycheck until next week because they said his time sheet was not in "his folder". After hearing this he went and found his time sheet in another employees folder whose time sheet had been picked up. He told his boss this and his boss called him a liar. My husband goes to work everyday, when he has to travel for work he pays transportation and food, he worked 26 hours straight starting New Years Eve at 10am till Jan 2 8am. He is the only one working right now because I'm in nursing school full time. I was just wondering if there was any law against this. It's hard making ends meet as it is. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP. We are in no position for him to change jobs at this time.

    It is not uncommom for companies to not pay if time sheets are not filled out correctly or turned in properly. I have had this happen to me a couple of times. If they have a policy for turning in time sheets and for whatever reason, he may hve to just wait for the next pay period.

    But no, the company needs to improve their time turn in system, he may want to call and verify his sheet is in each week, but this is a company policy issue. Unless they are doing this all the time, and it can be proven they do it, to not pay people, but a mere payroll issue often are not fixed to the next pay period.
