Question

there a company that sub=contracted a project. A project that I worked on for 3 weeks. Both general contractor and sub-contractor have been giving the run-around on payment, its been about a month. what can I do legally to put the pressure on payment and urgency?

Answer

We would need to know whether you were an employee of someone, or a sub-sub-contractor, or what. Did you work for wages, in other words. If so, your complaint should be made to the nearest branch office of the state Industrial Relations Department's Labor Standards Enforcement Division. If you were a (sub)contractor, your right to payment probably depends upon whether you were licensed to do the work you did.

Answer

File a claim with the local Labor Commissioner's office for unpaid compensation. Name all companies, and let the agency sort it out.
