I sewed curtains for cabins at my home for 104 hours asked $10 an hour was told by the GM ill see what I can do. I gave him copy of hours wrote down in march. Then emailed him in july still no pay. I talked to head of camp which told me to email him. Have since left company in september but no pay for these hours yet. Payroll accidentally direct deposited an extra payroll in my account but now wants the money back. What do I do. Do I have a case for services rendered but no payment?

You can sue your employer for breach of contract / account stated. Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would be the amount you are owed.
You may be able to file your lawsuit in small claims case. In addition to the amount you are owed, upon prevailing in the case you can also recover court costs which include the court filing fee and process server fee.
