Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Payroll

I am manager at a jewelry store. I recently hired an associate that hired at 30,000 dollars a year. Corporate agreed to this figure. She was paid 12 dollars an hour. Her first check was short. I wrote corporate and told them that her pay was incorrect and that she should be paid 15.63 an hour translating into 30,000 a year. My figures were incorrect. It should have been 14.50 an hour. Corporate paid her the 15.63. Now corporate says she was overpaid and is holding up payroll until the matter is solved. Can corporate hold up everyone�s pay because of a matter they should have caught? This is the third time pay has been late. Can anything be done about that? The last pay period, corporate told us not to cash our checks until the 8th of the month though payday was the 5th.They told us that the checks would be late because our sales didn�t support the payroll. We had higher sales that month than their other four stores across the country. And the sales were higher than previous months when we did get paid on time.
