In many sectors, the employer is legally obligated to record the working hours. However, hours are sometimes not correctly recorded and more hours are worked than are paid in wages. It is therefore important that you record the hours you have worked yourself. If you have been paid for less hours than you have actually worked, this may be in breach of the minimum wage. Your record of the hours will help you provide proof of the hours worked and will therefore help you claim the right wage.
