In most states, the law regarding pay records is that an employer is to provide an employee or former employee a copy of the employee’s paystubs. However, employers do not typically need to provide time sheets (or other such records) above and beyond what is on the employee’s paystub. To be certain of your rights, you can contact your state's department of labor and/or consult with a local employment law attorney.
