Any lawyer who answers your question better have reviewed your employee handbook, any contract you may have entered, wage notices required by the Wage Theft Prevention Act, pay stubs, receipts, and basically any other paperwork you may have signed or consented to.

Of course nothing is a substitute for an employment lawyer consultation which you absolutely should do; for more reasons than may appear on the surface now.
