How do you report hours that vary week to week? - first time posting

I picked up part-time shifts as a payroll clerk and I am confused about how to report them. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. Sometimes my paycheck is late by a week. Who can I ask without risking my claim?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

In my state the question was about the week I worked, not the week I was paid. Read the wording on your form carefully, or ask the claims line.
