Question regarding potential wage theft

Yesterday I clocked out around 440 pm. Go the the supermarket and as I'm about to get on the freeway and head home I receive a call from my boss at 510. He can't find the padlocks for a storage area and the remote to open a garage door on an adjacent building is missing. I tell him where to find the padlocks, and check and see the remote is in my jacket. He hmms and haws for a second but wants me to bring back the remote. Okay, I'll bring it back, turn on the freeway to head back to work. Then he asks how far I am, about 10 min driving time, and tries to tell me that they can probably do without it. However I'm already on my way, tell him as much, and mention that he can pay me for my time. Drop off the remote,…


Yesterday I clocked out around 440 pm. Go the the supermarket and as I'm about to get on the freeway and head home I receive a call from my boss at 510. He can't find the padlocks for a storage area and the remote to open a garage door on an adjacent building is missing. I tell him where to find the padlocks, and check and see the remote is in my jacket.

He hmms and haws for a second but wants me to bring back the remote. Okay, I'll bring it back, turn on the freeway to head back to work. Then he asks how far I am, about 10 min driving time, and tries to tell me that they can probably do without it. However I'm already on my way, tell him as much, and mention that he can pay me for my time. Drop off the remote, add a punch to my time card, 528 and go home.

Come in the next morning, the punch at 528 is gone. I bring this up to him and he doesn't want to pay me the full hour. That's fair, I offer to add a punch at 510 when he called, pay me for that time at least. He says “he'll think about it” but tries to back track with the “well I did tell you we didn't need it” and that bs.

Should I give the labor board a call? Or just leave it be.
