More details to this question:
My fiance is a crew leader for a landscape company in Ohio. They are refusing to pay him for 16 hours of overtime because they said he didn't clock in for 2 days. He has guys work under him and the jobs assigned were completed on those 2 days. So proof that he was there is evident. His boss told him: no clock, no pay. Then after he called him petty, he wrote him up for insubordination. What can he do?

You must be paid for all hours worked. If your employer has a policy like this, it is violating state and federal wage and hour laws. It would not be surprising if there were other policies and practices that were/are also occurring that are illegal. Contact an Ohio wage and hour attorney immediately for a free consultation
