You are entitled to minimum wage, but a better way to initialy proceed is to file a wage and hour complaint wiht your state's department of labor, which enforces the wage laws. If the department of labor takes your case, their help will be free. If they do not help you, then sue for the money you are owed under either or both of state or federal wage laws.
