How do you guys go about getting paid for commission jobs? Apparently, I have to harass them with phone calls until they finally pay me but I have too much phone anxiety (not to mention every phone call costs) to call them several times per day. I don't know if or when I can get the union involved since it isn't an official "union job". I may be the only one who hasn't gotten paid yet…I'm just not cut out to call and threaten people multiple times per day. I almost just want to let it go, but then I'll never get paid for ANYTHING.

I just called them again…I was polite this time, but I'm not sure when to start being threatening about it or what's actually legal. And how many times a day am I supposed to leave messages (polite or otherwise)?
