You admitted your stole the money. Therefore, in lieu of not pressing criminal charges, the employer simply told you to pay it back.
You can contact the Department of Labor for possible violations (www.DOL.gov) or sue them in small claims court for days worked.
However, this may push the employer to move forward with criminal charges against you for the theft.
