If the general contractor hired you then it is his responsibility. You want to borrow my Percy--- Percy Sledge that is- it is very convincing when you stand by his truck with it in hand. :laughing: Just kidding

Look up the lien laws in your state and pull one, but like Rob said if it's just a few grand you'll lose money dragging him into court, the best thing you can do is not work for GC's...
Seems like everyday someone is getting ripped off by a GC. Makes me REALLY think twice about ever working for one again. You can trust them right up to the point they are supposed to pay you. Doesn't matter how many times you have done work for them. It's like GC roulette.
A feel good story that happened many years ago . Not electrical trade .
SOB held back on paying . The contractor took his dump truck with trailer and Back Hoe and parked around corner with employee manning truck .
Took the Back Hoe down the driveway of GC's house and ripped the garage door off with the bucket in seconds flat . Drove back on trailer and took off .
He got payed .
I know a stone mason that had an issue with someone (pretend his name is Bob Smith) not paying. He had his kids picket in front of the house with signs that read:
"We can't eat because Bob Smith doesn't pay his bills" or soemthing to that effect with the guy's name in big letters.
He was paid within 45mins!
