Hourly Pay

I learned a good lesson in organization and keeping track of hours this week. I work at a retail store in carytown and get paid every other week. When given our paychecks, we receive an outline of our hours, days, times, etc. Sometimes when I (and the other girls who work there) go in and out of work it is very easy to forget to clock in and out - especially if you go in in the middle of the day when the store is full. I got my pay stub last week and the hours were all wrong, which of course made my paycheck incorrect as well. We clock into a computer and sometimes people clock in the wrong names, etc - (careless mistakes). Luckily I have written down on my planner each day I have worked and the exact hours. That made it very easy to figure out the correct hours and clear everything up. If I hadn't have kept track the situation would have been much more hectic.
