This is my following pay statement for a 2-week period:

This is my pay statement for a 2 week period

This is my time card

Hours from my app from work

I worked in total 183 hours in a 2 week interval, my questions is why am I getting paid to little for overtime? 183-80(hours of regular)= 103 hours of overtime, but some of the rates are normal pay.The app from the company states 183 hours, and this pay statement is 142.6, so I don't know what the difference is. Who could I go with to see if i'm getting screwed? This is in Texas

The statement suggests that you worked 114.13 hours this pay period, not the amount you suggest (68.23+37.9+8). So that could be the discrepancy in yours and your employer's calculation.

It looks as if your overtime computation is slightly more than double time. That is pretty generous. Additionally there are other contributors that add to income as far as night and weekend differential.

Additional info: If you add up all the numbers in the second column, I come up with 182.57, close to the 183 you are claiming. However, differential calculation typically does not work like that. For example, if you work one hour on the weekend, you would have one hour on the first line, and one hour on the weekend differential line. Your gross pay would be $16.04 (14.14+1.90).

So the question is did you actually work 183 hours in two weeks? That is a whole lot. That is over 13 hours per day with no days off.

It looks like there are errors, but I believe your total pay is accurate.

The first error is that the app seems to double-count weekend hours. You worked 39.96 weekend hours, and they pay a little extra for weekend hours and record them on a separate line, they shouldn't be added to the total hours since they are already reflected in the other categories. This explains why the timesheet shows 142.6 hours and the app shows 182.6 hours.

The second error seems to be that they show the 'evening ot' rate as $14.14, but actually pay $22.56/hour for those ($366.15 for 16.23 evening ot hours). The shown rate is accurate for all other lines, and the pay on each line adds up to the total gross pay reflected in the app.

The line item totals coincide with what the app says for total pay, so it seems like the pay is working properly, but that they have a couple errors in how they are displaying the data.

It's not the clearest way to present the information, they seem to use 'diff' inconsistently and have presentation issues, so it wouldn't hurt to get some clarification, but there's nothing that suggests you aren't getting paid what you should (so long as you agree with the hours recorded).
