Can an employer limit access to pay stubs?
I feel my employer has not paid me for all hours worked over course of 9 months. I asked for all paystubs since for the last 9 months of months. However, he says he only can give me the last couple. I feel he knows why I want them and knows I am going to find the numbers won’t add up.

In IN, workers have a right to a pay statement each pay period. The statement must include: hours worked, wages paid, and deductions made each pay period. If your boss issues pay statements electronically (for example, by email or where you log-in to a website), your boss has to make sure you have access to computers and printers during your work time. Further, IN does not have any laws requiring an employer to keep any employment-related documents. However, federal law requires every employer covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to keep certain records for each covered, non-exempt worker, for at least 3 years.
