Got hired at one salary and given another

Long story short: I took a housekeeping job at a resort. During the interview, I was told I’d be making 15/hr, flat. I get hired and things get strange.

If I’m lucky, I leave with 80 bucks. How is this even legal? Even the Indeed ad, which I still have, advertises the salary FROM $15. I hate it out here.
