Do I have any recourse if my employer repeatedly makes errors on my payroll?

My employer repeatedly makes errors on my paycheck as well as my taxes. I am employed by a municipality which utilizes a treasurer to handle payroll. I receive paychecks on a bi-weekly basis (or at least I am supposed to). Every 2 weeks, my paycheck is either missing or incorrect. I've brought this problem to the attention of the treasurer's superiors and nothing has been done. I'm sick and tired of having to scrutinize my paycheck every 2 weeks to find the errors. Do I have any legal recourse against either my employer or the treasurer?

1. Yes,the state and federal departments of labor-wage and hour division. File a complaint with them both,the municipality should be audited and if everyone is not getting paid right,they will have to get wages caught up. Be sure to report all problems you have concerning your paycheck.
2. Better yet, find another job.
