Your best bet would be to hire an attorney in Racine, where the defendant is located, to sue for collection. Most collection work is done on a contingent-fee basis in the United States, although it is possible to engage in attorney on an hourly basis to do this work.
Consideration should be given to the possibility that your employer's decision not to pay you is due to financial problems in their business. If you suspect that of being the case, you may want to be extremely careful about laying out any additional funds for collection litigation.
If you need a referral in Wisconsin, let me know and I can try to find one for you.
