Yes, you can sue your employer for the unpaid hours. To not pay you for work you did is a breach of contract: it violates the agreement, even if only an oral (unwritten) one, pursuant to which you did work for them in exchange for pay. Therefore, you could sue your employer for breach of contract, such as in small claims court as your own attorney ("pro se"), for the money.
