Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

Brach of verbal contract

I was hired under a 90 day ''trial'' period, at the end of

which I was told I would be put on payroll. After almost 6

months my employer still has not done so. Is this

breach of contract a civil, criminal, or federal matter?
