    After the pay period when you would normally get your check, if they don't pay, yes you can sue them in small claims or turn them over to the dept of labor

    Depending on what your state's labor laws provide, there may also be substantial penalties (like double the amount) for failure to pay wages, particularly your final paycheck.

    Contact the department of labor.
    If you have any proof from other employees that you were always paid late ,etc. I would have that notarized to bring to them.
