While it is possible that you were entitled to the pay, our wage and hour laws have "rolling" statutes of limitations. In general, the time period is two years. So, you would be able to claim back pay from the day you file your lawsuit back two years. Currently, that would cover back to August of 2012 if you were able to file now, but not before that.
