Employment is a contractual arrangement. If you are not paid what the employer agreed to pay you, that is a breach of contract for which you may sue. If you win, you are entitled to the compensation that you can prove you earned but that the employer did not pay.
If you are an employee and not an indepedent contractor and if you can prove the employer’s failure to pay you was in bad faith, you are entitled under Arizona law to seek three times the amount of the unpaid wages. So if you can prove bad faith and you are owed, for example, $2,000 in unpaid wages, you could get a $6,000 judgment against the employer. And if you prove the bad faith, the court may also award you reasonable attorney‘s fees, too, if you use a lawyer for the case. You will want to contact your employer in writing (an e-mail may do), make a request for payment of what is owed to you, and ask for a reason why the company has not paid yet. The response you get may go a long way to helping prove bad faith. An Arizona employment law attorney might have other good suggestions for you too.
What you cannot get compensated for is whatever costs you end having to pay to move, penalties for paying your bills late, or other financial problems caused by not getting paid on time.
