What do you mean by a "run around"? Are they just not paying you, Paying you late? Paying you less than what you thought? What?
If they are not paying you or this is not the first time they paid you late, or they are saying they are not paying you the agreed upon wages, you contact the state dept of labor and file a complaint. They will contact the employer and handle getting you paid.
This isn't a police matter. Call the department of labor, and start taking notes of every conversation and saving every relevant e-mail. Make detailed notes of what you were promised, who promised it to you, and when, and if you have any of that in writing hang onto it. Keep track of every hour worked, every day. Document, document, document, and if you're in a state with a "one party consent" law regarding the recording of telephone conversations, start recording them.
The awser to this question is always the same. Contact the DOL. This is one of their major functions and they will make sure you get paid and your employer painfully learns not to F with payroll ever again.
This happened to my mom, they amount she was owed was so large the DOL also made them pay her lawyer fees PLUS an extra 10%. But this was over $25k owed by the time she got a lawyer.
Is civil case matter. Cops won't help. You can file complaint with Dept of Labor.
Some of the contractor work or marketing won't be able to pay until customers pay their bills...But places where your employer is going door to door trying to get customers notoriously cannot pay. Is why lots of town want door-to-door sales to get a permit to sell, they have to prove they are legitimate.
