You can't do anything but look for a better job, unfortunately, unless you have a written employment contract for a set period of time (such as a one-year contract) which is being violated. If you do have such a contract, you can enforce its terms by a "breach of contract" lawsuit, to get what the contrat guarantees you. But without such a written contract, you are an employee at will. That means, among other things, that you have no right to your job, no right to any particular pay or number of hours, and your employer can change your pay or hours, even reneging on what was previously promised, at any time.
