Won't Pay me for the editing I did

I'm a subcontracting video editor for a MJS STUDIOS / LINDELLE STUDIOS and was suppose to receive my paycheck on Dec. 31 (pay day is 15th and 30th of each month) for wedding videos I've edited and finished for MJS. This work was finished over a month ago and was signed off as received.

Pay date for these edited DVD's was to be Dec. 31st. As of the post (Jan, 13th 2009)
I still have not received Payment in the mail as I usually do. I've called many times and was told "It was mailed and you just have to wait for it". Well, It's been two weeks now and still NO PAY!

I've called many times, sometimes more then once in a day, have left messages but never get a return phone call. And when I do get some one on the phone they keep telling me the same thing "It was mailed, Wait". I live less then 1 1/2 miles from MJS and NOTHING takes two weeks to mail, especially when you live this close.

Today I spoke with some one again and I requested for MJS to cut me another check, I was told they would but would CHARGE ME $35.00 to do so.!!! What is that all about. I've waited for them for two weeks to get paid and didn't and now they want me to pay them $35.00 for them to cancel their check (which they say they mailed to me but I never received, 2 WEEKS?).

Time are tough right now and I'm trying to do all I can to make it through, but this kind of business is wrong. At this point I've contacted a lawyer will be following his advise to "Try to recover from the contractor (MJS) that hired you. Sue in small claims court and report the matter to the state labor department. I guess I'm being forced to to so.

If this is the way they treat people them maybe I should look else ware for a second income.

Beware All.
