The failure to maintain adequate and sufficient timekeeping records under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) can result in a substantial back pay award. Under the FLSA, the burden is on the employer to maintain and preserve such records. If this burden is not properly met, courts will accept as evidence of overtime worked information provided by employees, whose recollections about the number of hours worked will undoubtedly be much more generous than those of their employers. Also, case law has established that an employer’s failure to produce required records creates a presumption that those records would have been favorable to the plaintiff’s cause of action and detrimental to the employer’s position.
