Can you prove that you actually worked those days?
Typically they investigate, then they write some threatening letters, then they impose fines, then the company files bankruptcy. You then have to file a claim on their bankruptcy, and get a judgement. The company's assetts get sold and you get paid out of that.
They could pay you at any time before any those steps happen. The labor board is certainly the place to start, I'd also contact an attorney specializing in labor laws.
This pretty typical of what happens in most states. I actually had a company do this to me in WA. a few years back, I was out about 1100 bucks.
