Add Comment Question: can a employer ask a employee to start submitting hours worked after not doing so for ten years ? Answer: An employer has an obligation to keep a record of hours worked so, in some circumstances, they can require you to track your hours in order to comply with this legal obligation. I would recommend that you contact our intake team to arrange for a telephone consultation with one of our lawyers to discuss the particulars of your situation.
