What can I do if I was not paid the rate that I was promised by my employer?

I just recently quit my job at a restaurant. I made $2.13 an hour, plus tips. My employer asked me to work a hosting shift which pays $7.25 an hour. However, since I ama server I couldn’t clock as a host, so my manager told me that it would be added to payroll regardless. I went and picked up my last paycheck today butit was not on there. They wouldn’t give me the time of day to ask them about it. It was a 9 hour shift and when you only make $2.13 those 9 hours make a huge difference. Would I be able to call corporate about it/ would they do anything? Personally, I think I have a right to that money.
