They told me that if I signed on with them at a lower rate of pay than the Agency, that they would give me a "sign on" differential of $400. After I signed on and asked for my sign on bonus, after working 4 months at a lower rate of pay, they said I was not eligible. Do I have any recourse?

You only have recourse if you got something in writing stating that you would get the $400 pay differential. Did they tell you why you weren't eligible? Do you have to work there for a longer period of time, like 6 months or a year? You could report them to your local bureau of labor and industries, but if you didn't get anything signed in writing I doubt you'll get anywhere.

Unless it is in writing, you probably don't have any recourse. It is always a good idea to have everything in writing. I would go to the person who originally promise this to you and see if they could help you get your money. If that fails, try going up the ladder until you exhaust all your options. You will then need to decide whether you want to stay with them or look for a position with another company.
