Something similar happened to me and I was told by many people hearing my story that I should've stopped working with this as the reason why. I also didn't get ANY help until I said I would find a lawyer to help. Took about a year to get most my money back.

Managers have the ability to do an emergency pay out in this exact scenario. Or they used to anyway, maybe you can suggest that to your DM for approval?

You can also file a complaint/report with the U.S. Department of Labor (edit: along with your state's Labor Commissioners Office). They don't like things like this and with the gov breathing down their neck they will find motivation. The DoL may also start inspecting them for more issues if they find cause to.

You need to talk to a lawyer or the labor department from your state. Withholding wages is illegal on a federal level.

Very illegal. I wouldn’t work until I got paid. I ain’t working for free

That is so wrong and unacceptable. They need to track it down. Can you keep calling if only to find that one representative willing to help you?

This happened to me and it turned out there was something wrong with my employment verification? like my SM entered my passport info wrong or something. Could it be that?
I do agree with people saying you need to demand an emergency payout and either refuse to work or threaten to get the DOL involved. Or both...
