Re: breach of contract/ failure to pay
He can file a claim against the staffing company in Magistrate Court, a.k.a. small claims court. In Georgia, Magistrate Courts have jurisdiction to decide disputes involving up to $15,000 in damages.
Here is a link to a guide put out by the Atlanta Legal Aid Society on how to file a lawsuit in Magistrate Court:
