Diversionary transactions which hint at financial fraud.

When I was 25 I was working an inside sales job where the atmosphere was very similar to the movie Boiler Room. It was my first month and during training you didn’t earn commissions but you did get 1k bonus for quota attainment. I hit my quota at 3:00 on the last day of the month so I was expecting my 1k check on payday. When the admin brought me my check payday morning it was short 1k. I went to my manager at the front of the pit and inquired. He was talking with the branch manager when I walked up. Told them the deal and my manager said oh yea sorry I didn’t verify the sale in time to which they both started laughing. Told them both it was f’d up and was told to hit the bricks if I didn’t like it. I went back to my desk and made calls.
Left 2 minutes early for lunch and went out to the parking garage. As my manager came out I confronted him again. Still said nope. Told him I was going to either get my 1k or I was going to beat his arse.
I settled for 700 that afternoon.
OP - Try going that route.

It could depend on who told you
It could also be a miscommunication with the person that handles payroll
Do you know if the person that approved double pay made sure the payroll dept knew about it?

Companies don’t steal money from labor, they renege on their financial commitments to labor.

Mine made stupid exceptions to not pay me certain commissions. I don’t work for them anymore. Simple as that.
Work for people that give a shite about you.

Your 7th day of the week only got paid straight time vs double time?

That’s not stealing.
And, I can’t fault them if you aren’t even willing to leave your job.

Unless you work for a very small company with private ownership, I find it hard to believe they told you that...you sheer it wasn’t some kind of misunderstanding?

If your work effort is anything like your posting effort, you owe them money.

You need to define "steal".
For example, I worked for a local BR company that would literally bend over backwards to figure out how to frick you out of every penny of every bonus you earned. Didn't matter if you met every detail of the plan that was there in writing, they would move goalposts during the review, change the rules, or just flat out tell you "we are going to frick you out of your bonus because XYZ sales person got a huge commission this month and it would put us in the red".
In my mind, that's the same as stealing.
In that case, you leave, which I did.

Accuse the boss of sexual harassment

I'd get together with 2 other guys in the office to plan a devious scheme to create a software hack that we could insert into the main business server that would divert fractions of every penny that was leftover after a monetary transaction, and have those fractional pennies deposited into a bank account that would accumulate over the next 20-30 years enough to make it up. After that, we'd get together to decide what to do because our coding had an error in it, where the decimal point was in the wrong place in our fractional penny diversion scheme virus, and the code was depositing dollars into our account that were amassing way too fast and at such a high amount that it would be noticed immediately after the weekend was over. We'd probably decide to withdraw all the money and give it back to my company, but it might accidentally go to the guy who's been railroaded by the sales manager for so many years for doing mean things to him to make him quit, like taking his stapler, removing his cubicle music (the guy does data entry all day and what's the problem with listening to some tunes while you work alone?!), then moving his desk down into the basement, and then get this, stopping his paycheck! What a douche! The office will burn down because of this when our buddy grows a pair, goes into the manager's office early Monday to turn in his notice of resignation, open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur.
Wow, this could be a movie.

Yeah I know what you'd like to do. You'd like to find the guy who did it, rip his still beating heart out of his chest and hold it in front of his face so he can see how black it is before he dies.

already did - former CEO of EDS was investigated for insider trading, because he sold over 500k shares of stock the day before he announced earnings were short, and stock plummeted from about 75 a share to about 8 bucks a share.
people that rolled over from another company to EDS rolled their retirements and everything in, and lost everything because of it.
he was found innocent, however he accepted a 13 million dollar bonus the same day he announced the layoff od 15% of the company. he got voted out by the board, but accepted a 30+ million dollar buyout.

It would make up for all the times I took the company truck fishing.

It's past May. Nobody is paying double for mudding right now.
