What happens if I don’t have all the paystubs that the Labor Board asked for?
I’ve recently got calls on my company about lunch breaks, which they were taken correctly. Labor board stepped in and sent work and hour to my business to talk to my employees and I had to give her time cards and pay stubs. They reviewed my case and just called me yesterday saying she needs more but I don’t have all of them? I thought I was doing everything correct. I just want to know if anything is going to happen for not having these.

You do need to have proper records. This is not only for labor audits or possible labor audits by the state or by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission but also by the Internal Revenue Service. It will impact the results if there is an allegation or series of allegations that the issue is one of fair labor standard violation. If you at this point have not obtained private counsel, you should consider consulting with a labor lawyer who handles representation of companies in labor disputes or audits/investigations.
