USA I assume? Do you have any legal representation available? Such as a union?

No, I'm on the other side of the world from you folks 🙃
You know what I'm gonna say.
Rule5: Many problems look much better as they recede in the rearview.
It's resumé time.
But let me say that I fill TWO time sheets each week. It's not a punch clock because sir, this isn't a Wendy's, but it's two time sheets and the numbers don't match because #management.
My buddy at the next desk fills three. Same reasons but worse
Before you ditch the current hellhole for another, decide objectively what you need and how close this place is to it.
I'm finally at a job where I do zero time sheeting and I think at this point if anyone asked me to I'd probably tell them to shove it in a professional manner. The best advice I can give is find a company culture that considers your work and your contribution as performance rather than the number of hours you put in. It may take some time to find as the plague of middle management has seemingly taken over every single industry, but once you're there it's incredibly liberating.

Rule1: always, always, charge 'em until ya like 'em.
If they mandate timesheets, the likability goes down and they'll need to offset that. .. by a lot.
This is when you make sure what the "working hours" is on your contract and stick to it. No free labor for management if they want to watch the clock.
You worked your way up to a job that pays peanuts?
Sir I have all the sympathy for your situation but you also settled at a shit company. You need to hustle your ass on out of there to a better paying job
The only way anyone gets anywhere these days in jobs is to move out when the pay gets stale. And you should avoid settling for jobs paying peanuts. Value your labour more than that or an employer never will
Relatively peanuts, compared to industry standard, but I absolutely hear ya. I'm out of here as soon as I can.
