I've moved your thread to the Employment Problems Forum where you should get some useful advice.

You could probably chase him through courts etc for your money, he's clearly in breach of contract, but if it were me I'd want to weight up the benefits of getting my wages against the damage to my future job prospects of having an assault charge on my record. I'm willing to bet he'd report you to the police for hitting him if you make things unpleasant for him.

This is just my opinion though, I'm sure someone with some actual legal knowledge will be along soon to give you some proper advice!
