I worked at a job for 3 weeks and didn't get paid for a couple of the days

I had to sign a paper saying that if I stay less than 2 weeks they will take $150 out of my check. Ok fine, but I was there 3 weeks.. I called the owner today to ask about it. He said he considered the days I actually worked to be less than 2 weeks. He said I worked 10 days, I actually worked 12. I'm pretty sure I'm missing at least 2 days of being paid. 16 hours times 13.00 an hour. Whatever that comes to. And he tried to tell me I'm the one who owes HIM money. I guess I'll just let it go because he thinks he's right. But still makes me mad. I think it's illegal for him to do that.

You really must contact the department in charge of such matters.
He is deliberately stealing from you and trying to bully you into not doing anything about it.
Keep a detailed account of all your hours. Keep an account of everything he says.
This guy needs to see that he can not push people around. If he has done it to you, how many others has he done it to over the years.
I think he would be in big trouble if there was a proper investigation into his affairs.
He might have fleeced tens of thousands of dollars of former employees.
