Contact your state department of labor to file a wage and hour complaint as your first recourse: they enforce state labor laws, may be able to help you, and if they can help you, their help is free. If they cannot or will not help you, you could sue your employer for the money, such as in small claims court, acting as your own attorney or "pro se" to save on legal fees.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
