Go to the Department of Wage Labor and Hours. You'll have a check within 72 hrs.

If he told you to come in if you were up to it and you have a time card that shows you were there, contract your HR Department, your Payroll Department or Labor Relations, I'll bet the money will be in your next check.

Yes, he has to pay you, and what he is doing is illegal.

Did you call ahead to let him know that you would be able to come in? You said you weren't on the schedule but were supposed to work if you felt OK - whether or not he owes you would depend on exactly what the agreement was between the two of you.

You can take them to court by going to see a solicitor but this costs money- court costs ect. However you can see ADR which is resolving disputes before the courts if you go online and type in employment tribunal you will find all the necessay info you can fill out a form and they will contact you then your employer you will then go to a meeting. Abit like court but its alot cheaper sometimes it does not cost it is less formal and less intimidating. You can also seek mediation you can find all the details online.
Good Luck

You worked it, you have proof you were there, he owes you $$ for that shift.
You know that wage/labor law poster in your break room...or near the time clock, there should be a phone number on there for the state agency that you can report this to.
If your employer is breaking the law and does not have one up anywhere on the premises, here is a link that does have the poster for sale, it just happens to have a list of phone numbers and the Wage & hour phone number is on the website.

Contact the local Labor Board in the town you are working. Usually in the city offices. If you have prof that you worked the hours and other employees that can vouch for you being there, this shouldn't be a problem.

Just usually the threat of doing this to an employer will get you your cash, but it will also "tick-em off" as well.

Luck to you...
