my employer isn’t paying me and I don’t know what to do

I feel conflicted on this because this isn't a situation where they're just refusing to pay me. They've also been decent (not great, but decent) employers generally speaking. Anyway, they are a small business and pay via check. They don't do direct deposit. First 3 or 4 paychecks were fine. Then I get my paycheck from last week. I deposit it, it goes through, and then it gets withdrawn because my employer has “insufficient funds”.

Flash forward to today- I deposited this week's check on Monday and now the exact same thing happened. They put a hold on my account too which luckily I was able to undo for now but like…seriously? I called my manager who told me she was off. So then I called the store owner who guilt tripped me for calling her about it because she was dealing with something serious (she actually was for the record, I won't go into detail for now though because it's irrelevant). She told me she would pay me in cash again

But because of this I end up getting my payments a week late not to mention my account is being flagged for fraud. I'm pretty sure if this happens again they're going to close my account. What do I do?
