What can i do about this as i am gonna be loosing about 5 days worth of pay right before christmas. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

The law requires you be paid at least minimum wage for all hours worked. Contact the state Dept. of Labor. Problem is, however, you can not file a claim until (and unless) you actually receive your paycheck and a violation has occurred.
