Do I have a right to see my time card at work or can my employer withhold that information from me?
My employer has been rounding off our work hours, and has even been changing the hours on some of the employees time cards. We used to have access on the computer to check our time cards, and now that people have mentioned them shortening our hours, they have restricted the access to our time cards.

Under the laws of all states in this country, an employee is entitled to see actual copies of his or her time cards for work. If you want to see your actual time cards to compare with your pay, I would ask your supervisor for such, human resources department or your employer depending upon how matters are set up at work.
If you are denied access to the time cards, I would consult with an attorney who practices in the labor law field.
