Re: my wage was short

Hi and welcome.
Whilst you will have our sympathies I doubt there is actually much you can do, as any legal action will take months.
The problem is your employers, but he could be reluctant to correct the error immediately as it costs.
Any decent employer would give you an interest free loan which would be sorted out when the subsequent pay date arrives.
I suppose technically you could take a commercial loan of some sort, and charge the costs to your employer on the basis they were due to his breaching your contract of employment.
You could put the options to him and see if he becomes more amenable.
Good luck
