its unreasonable. You should contact authorities
You can sue for that shit
Seriously, press charges, get coworkers on your side, make bank.
TL;DR - Scammed on payroll and its almost certain it was deliberate as an assistant manager told me it was targeted and not accidental due to them thinking I was passive and would roll over - also an element of dislike was part of it.
So I told them I wasnt coming back to work until I had my retroactive backpay.
Months ago another manager brought it up and informed me I should check my payroll stubs implying there was some malfeasance and I should be vigilant. Payroll manager was there during the meeting and just sat there stony faced.
Those were the only times I was ever told about it.. The payroll manager brought it up once and then did nothing about a month ago.
I was promised twice it would be fixed and it wasnt. Brought it up in person more forcefully and said I could take action with the labour board. Began to avoid me very obviously when I was at work so I couldnt have a chance to talk to her. Sent her an e-mail detailing the payroll issue and received no reply for a week, so I went to her office on one of my days off and she was very nervous and conciliatory and verbally promised me it would be fixed.
I told her over the past few months I was told more than once that it would be fixed and it never was.
She had a chance to respond to the issue in writing and never did, instead choosing to verbally tell me she would do it which struck me as an attempt not to admit to any wrong doing in writing for reasons that cast doubt on her honesty.

Here's the advice you asked for OP
Contact whatever union covers your field, its their job to fight for fair rights
I e-mailed the bookeeper/manager a formal letter to explain the situation and why I wasnt coming in to work.
The regional and new site manager sent me a stern email saying that I was to handle everything through him now, that it wasnt her responsibility but that of the previous site manager (not true, she handles the payroll. I think he was trying to say "the buck stops with the site manager so deal with me"), and then capped his email by saying I was to come to work in the morning as usual tomorrow.
This same manager bullied me in front of literally the entire staff a couple weeks ago (15-30 people). He mocked me and then talked about me like I wasnt in the room while the people I worked with in a team were either treated with praise or not mocked at all. That included a black woman who couldnt speak coherently or understand directions who disappeared for most of the day and was unaccounted for. I had to piss a few times per hour because of a bad bladder and I was reported as just wandering around.

>Not coming into work until my payroll problem is fixed, unreasonable or not?
Not so much unreasonable as i oractical. After only a few days, you can be fired for jon abandonment, and then you're really fucked.
Lawyer up and sue the bastards. Invoke whistleblower protection when they try to retaliate. This is wage theft.

talk to a lawyer dingus, if you're too fucktarded to do that then there's not much else we can do. Fuck. You're probably as stupid as your bosses make you out to be if you can't handle simple advice as has been given to you.
