My boss won't pay me my missing hours?

My boss won't pay me my missing hours!! My pay was for 20hrs on the dot (I been working for 10 years and never had hours .00 on the dot in my life, that was a red flag right there!) and my time stamp said 25.35 hours (5.35 hours missing!)! I called the the US deportment of labor and they said my boss and refusing to return their call. They said I should sue him. Is it worth going though the trouble of taking him to court over $50 pay??

Update:

Grammar correction "my boss refused to return their call."

Update 2:

@Ed Fox I said 5.23 hours. I brought it up to him and he say I'm lying. I did not get along with him we use to fight everyday. I know he did this on purpose!

Update 3:

P.S. He fried me then messed with my pay check.

Update 4:

@A Hunch, not true call 954-356-7620 ask for Hector Arroyo from US determent of labor. He is the guy taking care my case and called me telling that to take him to court and did not reply to his calls!!

    Yes, and I would talk to other employees to see if theyve been shorted...there could be a class action lawsuit here...and a lawyer might take this case

    as long as he's not discriminating against you due on your club in a secure classification (e.g. race, intercourse, faith), and you at the instant are not in a union and don't have an employment settlement specifying income, he can demote you if he desires to as long as you're nevertheless making a minimum of minimum salary, and it appears that evidently such as you're. Discrimination does not merely recommend which you're a member of a secure classification - you may could desire to tutor that's why he's treating you badly. the bigger question is, why is he pissed at you? Telling an worker which you hate them is easily unusual. Has he executed this to others? If he's merely fairly warm-tempered, then he won't be waiting to maintain respectable workers - and in case you paintings for a extensive business enterprise, he won't final long appearing that way. If it quite is a few particular subject that the two you have executed or he thinks you have, and it quite is not his favourite way of habit, then he probable does not get fired. after all, sounds love it's time so you might hunt for a sparkling activity.

    Why we don't believe you:

    1. the Department of Labor does not say "sue him" = the department of labor would suggest you file a claim with them ~ two very different things.

    2. If you had not filed a claim with the Department of Labor, they would NOT have contact with the employer. If you had filed a claim with the Department of Labor, they would not have "called him" for him to return their call. They would have SENT him formal paperwork which he would need to complete and return to them.

    If for the last 10 years, you have WORKED every minute you were on the clock, file the claim.

    If for some times you stood around shooting the breeze with other employees or doing something else that was not work while clocked in, I guess you got that time deducted.

    Well right away i can tell you dont plan for this to be your future job. Because your only making $10+ an hour. So if i were you, i would wait, keep track of everything, wait until its over $1000 then sue him untill hes ground beef. Take everything. Accuse him of under paying everyone for years and encourage others to sue as well.

    upside: probably 10 grand+

    downside: no more job

    I don't understand where the $50 comes from. You said $5.35.

    Did you actually talk to your boss or did you simply go of to the Department of Labor?

    Everyone makes mistakes and your boss should be given the opportunity to discuss the issue
