Either continue to put up with it, OR, if you want to receive your legal rights, then go file an injury claim with the Workers Comp board, and go file an unpaid wage claim with the Labor Commissioner office. You have to decide if you are willing to demand fair and legal treatment as an employee. If serious about getting legal help in this, feel free to contact me. It MAY be possible for your attorney to negotiate a fair and proper resolution of your rights from the company without having to file those claims.
