Record Keeping

Schaumburg, Illinois-Record Keeping Employer Defense Attorney

Any employer operating under the Fair Labor Standards Act is required to keep certain records for a specified period of time for covered, non-exempt employees. When a company fails to report or maintain sufficient records of an employee's wages, an employer could have criminal penalties and civil actions brought against them. Employee payroll information that contains important documents about each employee in your company should be kept for at least 3 years, as required by the United States Department of Labor. Some examples of the records to keep may include information regarding:

• Employee's Name
• Employee's Address
• Employee's Social Security Number
• Time and Day an Employee Begins the Workweek
• Regular Pay Rate
• Amount of Wages Paid
• Amount of Overtime Paid
• Date of Payment
