Last paystub of 2019 has me short $3900 of salary!

Post date: 2020-01-26 15:02:14

Brought this up to my employer (also new owner of our company) who agreed that I was shorted. He also admitted that he bought the company knowing my wage and my salary agreement. He acted like he fully understood! Told me he would "make it right" on my next paycheck. Next paycheck ONLY corrected withholding, net pay etc. So it "made it right" for my first check of 2020...BUT did NOT make up the $3900 I am short for 2019. Is this ok? Can he really get away with this legally?

Am I a fool for thinking I got my point across and the shortage would be paid out to me? Especially because I had all the paperwork in hand and he waved me off from giving him copies because "he didn't need them."
I am feeling duped and it bothers me if he thinks I should just carry on and absorb the loss.
I am super uncomfortable with this kind of thing and was proud of myself for confronting him and the error in a calm and concise manner. Only to find out that his "we will make it right" line was TOTAL BS. Now what?
Help me know what to say and how to deal with this. He is rather intimidating and has a way of controlling the conversation. He has been out of town since I got my check, but will be back on Monday and I need to address this right away.
