As far as I know, the law as it applies to this specific situation is pretty vague -- especially if you're classified as an "independent contractor" by the company/state. Unless you have something in writing (like an Offer Letter) stating you'd make $12/hr, it's really your word against his that he offered you $12 and not $11. If you can demonstrate getting $12/hr for previous weeks, you might be a establish a case simply based on precedence; you assumed that you'd be paid how you had been in the past. Ultimately, though... if you don't have something in writing.. you've got almost no legal footing.
