Payroll/HR people

My previous employer is being shady and I'm still missing about $450 from my 2nd to last paycheck.  That paycheck was supposed to be on 1/2/15, and it was direct deposited into my bank account, but it was about $450 short.  I received my final paycheck with my PTO remaining balance fully paid out.  But I haven't received the ~$450 yet.

I've been working with the onsite payroll person there and my former manager.

When/How/Who/What would you do/contact?  I haven't really researched who I need to contact with the state, because the people I'm contacting keep making it seem like they are doing something, but I'm want my MONEY!
