Staying on top of your hours worked is a crucial part of ensuring you get the full benefits you’ve earned. The number of hours you log affects everything from your retirement savings to health and welfare benefits to your eligibility for free legal support.

While your employer is responsible for reporting your hours to the benefit funds, staying on top of them can help you catch reporting errors early and protect yourself.

Here are some simple steps to keep your hours on track:

• Save your stubs — Keep your pay stubs in a secure place with your other important records. If your employer has misreported your hours or there’s a discrepancy, your pay stubs can be used as proof to show the correct number of hours you worked.
• Check your hours regularly — You can review your recorded hours online. Regularly checking ensures your hours are reported correctly and helps you catch issues early.
