Hourly employees are legally entitled to be paid for all hours worked. If you believe you have not been paid for all hours worked, you could contact your state department of labor to complain, and/or speak with an employment law attorney about filing or lawsuit, or even file your own claim in small claims court, acting as your own attorney.
