Re: Money owed by a former employee
Put a demand in writing to him for payment. Give him a deadline. When he fails to repay you, go to Small Claims Court, and file a complaint. Have the court arrange for service through the marshall or sheriff, and then appear on the trial date. Someone with familiarity with the contract and your company's accounting should testify at trial.
