My boss deleted my overtime

I am livid. I am also afraid of conflict. I work at a news outlet and was on call last weekend. During that time, my immediate supervisor instructed me to write two breaking news updates, proof another story, post them all to social media and add updates to another story. Because my personal laptop is a little on the slow side, it took me between 20-30 minutes to complete that. I make $18.48 per hour.

The second in command here is known to be a stickler about overtime and also, to be frank, a bully. He’s the one who deleted my OT. I’ve already contacted HR about this. I do not trust the person who did this to fix it without a fight or retaliation. I understand…


I am livid. I am also afraid of conflict.

I work at a news outlet and was on call last weekend.

During that time, my immediate supervisor instructed me to write two breaking news updates, proof another story, post them all to social media and add updates to another story.

Because my personal laptop is a little on the slow side, it took me between 20-30 minutes to complete that. I make $18.48 per hour.

I clocked in and out, resulting in a little bit of overtime, which I noticed had been deleted from my timesheet this morning.

The second in command here is known to be a stickler about overtime and also, to be frank, a bully. He’s the one who deleted my OT.

I’ve already contacted HR about this. I do not trust the person who did this to fix it without a fight or retaliation.

I understand this is all over like $20 or less, but I worked that time and deserve to be compensated for my labor.

I’ve already been applying to other jobs.

What do I do?
