Hey Guys,

At work on Wednesday I printed off my paystub and noticed I didn't get paid for 2 shifts. I told the ward clerk and she corrected it and emailed payroll, and my director. I told her it was 2 Day shifts. Well I'm a new grad being oriented for 6 months and am following a full time schedule. My preceptor was away for those 2 days so I worked with someone else. Tonight I'm at home and was trying to think of who I worked with. And holy crap! I remembered that I got called on to work 11p-7a on Tuesday, so I didn't work that wednesday. The Thursday I could remember who I worked with! So long story short I told the ward clerk that I worked 2 days instead of 11-7 and a day shift! Problem is that my director and payroll already thinks I works 2 days, now I have to get them to change it. I need an honest paycheck for my own piece of mind. I made an honest mistake and I need to make sure it gets corrected. I'm just worried that they are Going to think I lied about it, when really I made an honest mistake :( Thanks for letting me vent, sorry for the long post, little distraught right now, I am just looking for some words of wisdom and advice...thanks guys, you are all awesome, take care...

Just curious, do you not have some sort of clocking in and out system, that they would verify the hours you worked, before just paying you because you said so ?
