How do I get HR to release schedules and or receipts for the time I worked for them in lieu of small rental space?
I worked for about 8 years, doing everything a paid employee did except for running the register at an antique mall for minimum wage to be credited to my booth rental. I kept a notebook that I signed in and out of. We parted ways and management took the notebook and HR refuses to give it back or give copies, etc. So I asked for receipts or proof of payment of booth rental and they refuse.

They do not need to provide this to you unless there is litigation (a lawsuit; e.g. you sue them, or they sue you) or some other legal proceeding (e.g. an IRS audit) where this information is relevant AND in the course of that litigation or other proceeding, the legal mechanisms of "discovery" (such as subpoenas, document production requests, or written interrogatories or questions) are used to get the documentation. Only in a legal proceeding, using legal mechanisms to get relevant information, could they be required to provide this.
