    I have a feeling that my employer is altering my clock in records without my knowledge. Is this legal? I have worked a lot of overtime the past month and when I asked for a copy of my records I'm being given excuses as to why I can't have them. We use an electronic clock in machine that scans my fingerprint to clock in and clock out. I work in the hospitality industry. Can anyone help here ?

    Are you not getting paid for the hours you think you've done?

    have you kept records?

    of course it would be possible to manipulate records,since it comes down to database in a computer.that said seems more like avoidance in this case if employer resists to show records.

    now to rule out speculation id say start keeping diary and records of your own for hours worked and if indeed notice that its not added take action.

    It's not unknown for employers to do this.

    They are allowed correct records, not change them.

    Does OP have any Data protection entitlements to discovery of the relevant records ?

    If so, he might have a word with Data Protection before proceeding to request records. Link https://www.dataprotection.ie/docs/Home/4.htm

    If the employer is falsifying the records as distinct from correcting them that is a different matter entirely.

    +1 the advice to run a parallel time record. Is OP allowed to photograph his sign ins and sign outs with his mobile as time stamped corroborative evidence ?
