Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I live in CaliforniaI , in July of 2015 Iwas promoted to a salaried exempt directors position.
My pay rate stayed the same, roughly $15.30 an hour averaged to a 40 hour work week. When the minamum wage increase was put into place in January of 2016, my pay scale was flagged as needing adjustment . It turns out tha as a salaried manager I am supposed to be paid at least twice the minamum wage. My pay rate for this year was adjusted to meet that requirement and I was informed I would be paid retroactively for the five months where my wages were not at the required minamum. As of today, 4/22/16 I have not been paid any of the retroactive wages.
I have repeat overly spoken to my Executive Director but nothing has been done. Are there penalties owed to me due to their delay in payment?
