Hello, As stated, I am trying to get my employer to send me a document/letter confirming the amount of time I missed, my hourly rate, and how many hours I was working per week. Our company is very small and our HR person quit, and they proceeded to outsource the HR to our payroll company. I have tried multiple times for unrelated issues to try to get them to tell me who I can contact for HR matters and gotten nowhere. It also seems that the head guy at my company doesn't really like me for whatever reason. This morning I sent an email to him as well as my direct manager with this request, and he responsed saying "We will look into it and see what we can do". Is there any situation where he can refuse to provide me this document? The other driver was found 100% liable for the accident and I was medically taken out of work, so I am trying to get paid for those lost wages as part of my settlement, but I am worried he will refuse or make it unnecessarily difficult basically just to fuck with me. I spoke with my attorney and he wasn't having it, he said this isn't a "We'll see what we can do" situatuon and is instead the LAW, and that if they don't comply he will simply report them to the Department of Labor, but I would prefer if it didn't come to that. I'm just not sure what the specific laws in my area are regarding this and how to best approach the situation. Considering I know all the information and just need them to spend 10 minutes compiling it into a document for verification, I'm not sure why they are giving me a hard time. I don't want to lose my job, but I also want to get compensated fairly. Any tips?
