Non-payment situations

[Altor]

I've only had an issue with one school in 18 years. I worked two contests for them in a month. Since I had never worked for them before, they asked me to fill out a W-9 when I arrived for the first contest. When I got to the second contest a few weeks later, I asked about payment for the first. He assured me that I would receive a check for both.

A month later, I sent an email to the school. When the check still didn't come, I stopped pursuing it. I no longer work events at that school.
