Discrimination
There looks like a good chance you have a case, but it needs more information to tell for sure, and what kind of case it might be.
Do you work for a private company, or the government?
Were you complaining about your own paycheck, or what was going on in general?
Either way, you may have a "whistleblower" type of case....there are different laws involved, but the basic idea applies pretty much the same to private companies as the government: they can't retaliate against someone who complains the law is not being followed.
It is important for you to be very proactive now if you want to protect yourself....all possible favorable witnesses must be contacted right away before memories fade or change. Also, keep tight hold on all important documents.

what your claims may be
if what you complained about was merely a violation of accounting rules, you probably do not have a tort claim against your company. if what you complained about is a violation of laws, or of regulations governing the accounting of funds from public sources, you may have a claim for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. you should talk to an attorney experienced in employment law.
