Where are you located? Which State?
I agree with the previous response, contact the Department of Labor; unless you are in Florida!
It may be wise to have your specific factual situation analyzed by an attorney in your jurisdiction. And you should have this done IMMEDIATELY so that you don't lose important rights. Many lawyers offer a free or low-cost initial consultation just for the purpose of determining whether they can help you. Don't be afraid to contact them.

Well if you are a "sub-contractor"( like the kind who works hourly but still receives a 1099 at the end of the year) there is nothing you can do without a signed contract but if you are working for a licensed business as an employee you can file a complaint with the labor board!

As others have pronounced, you are able to touch despite the fact that state/community company handles your section's salary and hour disputes. Failure to pay somebody who isn't time beyond regulation exempt for hours labored is a particularly substantial violation and might bring about super fines. If the criticism (nameless, via the way) is held up, the exertions individuals will report tournament on behalf of affected workers. one ingredient i think of you'll be conscious of. What you're describing is textbook warning signs of a business company in financial problems and attempting to us imaginitive accounting. i might save an extremely prepared ear out for any suggestions you are able to glean on the state of the business company.

first off, do you enjoy your job? do you like the company that you are working for? the hours that you say you are owed for, were they overtime hours? was overtime pre-approved? were you asked to work those 48 hours?
sometimes bickering about what you believe is owed to you will create hostility in your work environment. you have to determine if those 48 hours are important enough to wage war over. it might benefit you to just suck up the lost pay. so that you can continue to work there.
if you want to fight it out, start with your first line supervisor. if you get no satisfaction, go right up the chain of command. sometimes you can just let your supervisors know that you are going to speak to human resources about this issue.
if those 48 hours were accrued in overtime work, don't work overtime until you get this matter settled.
also, are you a wage earner or are you salaried? if you are salaried, you likely won't be compensated for the actual hours that you work.

It depends on there policy, and if it was through a temporary service. Most companies have a policy that allows them to hold your check for thirty days after you have quit or been terminated from the company. I would contact an attorney to be sure you arem't getting the run-around, and to make sure you receive all your hours worked. If an attorney contacts them, they will hustle to get your money out to you... and fast!
