Employer Editing My Worked Hours
My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Pennsylvania
I have worked at this establishment for around a year, and was recently promoted to a front of house managerial position. I went from being paid $2.81 per hour for my standard server wage to 7.50 or so per hour for training wage, as I must train to do every job in the restaurant.
I have been working/training on the bar for about a week and a half, clocked in as "training" (hence, should be getting paid 7.50, not 2.81) the entire time. My work week was around 50 hours, and when I received my check today, my "training" hours had been reduced to 4.8 hours, meaning my entire paycheck came to about $50 dollars instead of the much larger sum I feel was owed to me. Clearly, my employer decided that I was not "training" all the hours he had me in the bar training, and docked my pay for it, changing all my training hours over into serving hours.
It seems to me that every employee should be paid what they worked. The main trouble is that I am now about to start a second work period of this training, and do not know if I have any claim to the money he owes me from last period due to his changing of my hours. I do not want to work 50 hours for 50 dollars. Should I confront him what? Do I have a claim on the money he owes me from this last work period, before he changed my hours?
Please help.

I would ask your employer why you were not paid the training wage which you understood you were to be paid & see what they say before pursuing any further with a wage claim.
