Maryland:
I recently quit my job at the end of last month, I was a non-exempt salaried employee. I receive a set amount of pay per month and my boss wanted me to work a set amount of hours each month.
My last month with this employer I worked 193 hours, 23 hours over the contract. However, since he says that I did not meet my hours on the previous months (due to their being a lack of work) he cut my last paycheck by over $3,000. Can he do this under the law even though I am a salaried employee?
Also, He has never paid me or any employees overtime. Looking at some of my past timesheets I should have received overtime for over 500 hours of work but since I did not know much about labor law, I only received my normal hourly rate. What are my options to rectify this?
Lastly, can I request my employer send me copies of my timesheets for the previous two years under Maryland Labor Law? Is he required to provide those timesheets to me?
Thank you for your help.
