BTW, when I do contract work I'll wait about a week past the date they SAY they'll pay me before I start prodding them... Another week before I bring out the big guns.

Tootie, someone with your rep and skills should NEVER have to work without up-front money. I'm sure you've got lots of good references, so they should trust you.

When I can't get that, I usually complete part of the job and require partial payment before I complete it. UNLESS the company has really good references.

I made the mistake of bending policy once for a company that SEEMED solid... had a hell of a time getting paid.
