What he's doing in paying you as a contractor for the first 90 days is illegal in the first place - your job is that of an employee, not a contractor. Not paying you, an employee, overtime is also illegal - contractors don't get overtime, but you aren't a contractor.
No wonder they have high turnover - they are cheating their emploiyees. If you want to call someone, call your state department of labor or the federal department of labor.
