I signed paperwork on June 24, 2016 for a pay increase at work. My manager signed it on July 17. My wages were to go from $7.69 to $8.15.

More details to this question:
Today is November 7, 2016 and I still have not received the increase. Management has changed but the district manager insisted months ago that the increases were being processed but so far nothing. Do I have a case?

Probably. Under North Carolina state law, employees are entitled to the "promised wage." The promised wage would include any written agreement (perhaps the paperwork you mentioned) that indicated a specific pay and a specific time the pay (wage) would be in effect. This is somewhat tricky though because you want to be careful that you are not jeopardizing your job. So, consult with an experienced attorney on how to proceed.
