My Boss Edits My Hours To Precisely 8hrs Every Day

Location: Washington State, boss lives in BC, Canada

Hello, I am a manager for a small Canadian ecommerce business that just opened a US branch to help with tariff costs. I am an American citizen, and my boss has set everything up so that I am working only in Washington, not BC.

Though I am the manager of the US office, my boss (owner of the company) manages the payroll for my office and the BC one. Every payday, my hours for the pay period even out to exactly 8hrs/day. I have worked here for a few months, and I was the first employee hired. When it was just me, I didn’t mind it so much, thinking it probably all evens out in the end. Sometimes I run late in the morning, sometimes I stay late to finish up my tasks. I thought maybe that’s how they do things in Canada? However, now that we’ve hired a couple more people it feels less like something benign I can ignore, and more like something slimy. We have no HR, what should I do? I don’t want to lose this job, it pays well and I like the work.
