"1) Insist on immediate pay"
Most large businesses aren't set up to make immediate payments. It's usual and customary for them to have until the next paycheck to correct deficiencies from the previous pay period. If you insist on immediacy, your first paycheck may also be your last one there.
"2) Quit"
Quitting with no notice over one late paycheck will work against you everywhere else. You can tell them that if your pay isn't corrected on the next paycheck, such a breach would constitute their waiver of any requirement for advanced notice of resignation.
"3) Grease up and take it"
If they brush you off, tell them you're going to the local unemployment office this week to claim benefits for the weeks they haven't paid you. If they know you're willing to go to an affiliate of your State's Labor Department with the issue, it may motivate them to correct the deficiency expeditiously. Of course, it won't help if they're in financial trouble for which, btw, messing with employees' paychecks is an indicator. If you want to get nasty, tell them you're going to turn the amount in arrears over to a collection agency (which they know will reflect on their credit rating).
