Not being paid wages that you have earned, can be grounds for a lawsuit. You could try to get compensated by requesting your pay directly from your boss again. You may get a lawyer to help you with this, but if it is only a few hours, hiring a lawyer may not make sense for you. A lawyer can ask questions to determine if this is part of a larger problem with your employer.
