Assuming that you have in fact been underpaid, then you can file a wage claim with your state's department of labor (you can ask for all unpaid money owed and possibly be awarded further sums in the form of fines) or file suit in small claims court (you can ask for unpaid wages plus court costs).

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. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
