Local state workforce commission. Show them your contract. Show it to the better business bureau and file a claim against them..
There are ways to make them pay.
If you need some more devious ones, email me seperately and I'll tell you how to stick the screws to them <grin>

As is usual in such situations I don't have much leverage.
The amount is too much for small claims court and too little to interest any lawyer (or enable me to afford a lawyer). Even small claims only gives you a "judgement" but there's very little teeth to it -- hard to collect if the judgee don't wanna pay.
My only hope is that the principals have enough character and honesty to pay what they owe. I should know soon.
