You can press the issue, or even threaten and file a small claims case. Obviously, that will likely mean the end of the job. A better option is to look for another position, then press the issue. Obviously we don't know the financial condition of the company but that is not a good sign. You can call the GA Dept of Labor, but they are less likely to assist a contractor and, again, that would likely mean the end of your position.
