The Owner Of The Company I Work For Gets Our Paychecks Wrong Week After Week, Either Stiffing Us On Hours, Or Lowering Our Hourly Rates, Making Our Paychecks Lower Than What It Should Be. Can We Do Anything, Even If She Eventually Corrects The Paychecks After Being Called Out Every Time?

I started working for a small business recently, and they are in the midst of turning over ownership. The previous owner (N) constantly stiffs us on our paychecks. I know at least three others, besides me, who has had issues with not being paid correctly, whether it be her missing hours on our check, or lowering our hourly wages. I just received my paystub and paycheck, and I am missing 25 HOURS on my check! The new owner (T) took a screenshot of my clock ins and outs to prove that (N) did NOT accurately pay me, and I have my paystub that shows the amount of hours I was actually paid for. One of the other girls, last week, got her paycheck, and her hourly rate was significantly lower than the rate that she should be making. (N) rectified the situation by writing her a check for the remaining amount and dropping it off at the place of business, but it wasn’t until after the scheduled payday that the employee received the rest; and not until a battle of back and forth and many excuses from (N) did that happened.

I am sorry this is long, but is there anything we can do legally? As far as I know she DOES eventually pay us what we’re owed, but it’s later than the pay date, we have to fight her for it, and I’m genuinely unsure if the others have gotten their wages.

I also live in Colorado, if that is important.
