Wage reporting when hours change weekly (update)

I picked up part-time shifts as a machine operator and I am confused about how to report them. There are 4 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Sometimes my paycheck is late by a week. Do you report when you earned it or when you were paid?

Report honestly and keep your stubs. An honest small error is much easier to fix than a missing report.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
