Question
Independent contractor's pay issue?
I'm an independent contractor who's having a bit of a problem with being paid on time. Company I work for have a guide line of 30days til the contractors to be paid from the invoice submit day. But I have waited over 50 days in the past and the communication is so poor it's not even funny. They don't call me back or e-mail me back when i want to check the status of pay. I always come to find out one person didn't do a job they were hired to do and I always have to somehow catch them on the phone alive to follow up the status. Is there any rights to an independent contractors as far as pay?

Small claims court. My dad used to get paid 6 months late and was only happy if it helped his taxes. (One of the checks came in after he died and lo, we didn't have to pay the 15.3% self-employment tax since he was dead already.) Apparently this *is* a common problem. I have used contractors in the past that billed me and at least one told me he wouldn't have had Christmas if I hadn't paid on time--because all of his other clients stalled until after New Year's.
