Check with your state labor board but don't be surprised if they don't want to get involved in an action over differential pay. If you were paid base rate for all hours worked and overtime as applicable, they will probably wash their hands of it. I don't think any state laws cover differential.
Try the HR department. As long as you can document that you were entitled to the extra pay yiou should get it unless there is some obscure policy about leaving while on probation. Unfortunately this may be one of those cases where an action is legal but morally reprehensible.

hi. i quit my last hospital job x2 weeks ago. i was working in psych and quit before my 90 day probation. went in to get my last paycheck and she only paid me straight base pay and did not pay me my charge pay x3 days (24$) plus my weekend differential x2 days. is this legal that nurse managers can just screw us employees who quit?????...when i quit i just went to HR and handed my badge and keys because i was on probation ....
:banghead:
...another employee there who quit a week before me and on probation still has not been paid money that the nurse manager owe till now...
