How to collect against non-payment of invoices from work performed
I worked as an Independent Contractor for a company in Silicon Valley from end of November until end of April. The last month of April they have not paid me for the work performed and agree that I should be paid. I've been told that due to financial constraints they are only paying current employees and no other payments are being made. I have a contract that clearly states they are supposed to pay me within 15 days of an invoice being received. I've been told that I need to wait and see if their financial status changes and then I might get paid. What's my recourse and how do I go about getting paid.

Depending upon the amount, you have the option of bringing a claim with the labor board for the outstanding amount or filing a lawsuit against the company for breach of contract. Of course, having financial constraints is neither an excuse, nor justification for failure to pay.
Thanks, and feel free to follow up.
