Unpaid Invoices

I'm an IC for a company that requires I submit an invoice for each project I finish. I always keep a copy of the invoice and compare it to what I was paid for. I get a list from the company of the projects I'm being paid for on payday which is once a month.

The person who processes the invoices does so for less than 100 people but it seems for a handful of us, there are always missing invoices. I may go a month or two with everything being paid on time but then we are back to several unpaid invoices. Right now i have a few that have remained unpaid since August. I have complained to that person, copied his "supervisor" and they always promise they will pay with the following month's pay.

I really enjoy the work and I can actually support myself for the first time since I started MS several years ago.. So I am exceedingly reluctant to leave. I have been doing this work for over two years and made friends in the field. I have asked if there was any policy in place for expedited payments and received no response.

Does anyone have suggestions ? I have copied as many people as i know but no one ever responds other than the offending culprit or his supervisor.

AP people don't generally take it upon themselves not to pay invoices. Somebody is telling them to conserve cash. I wouldn't get in too deeply with a company that was operating this way, especially if you copy others in the company and get no response.

It's not an AP person who processes the invoices. The first person who processes them is my dispatcher and he forwards them to the AP lady. The dispatcher is the source of the problems, as he is the source of many other problems which is another story altogether.
Some companies I do not mind submitting an invoice, but if the pay is low I won't do those shops.

I am paid $75 per shop plus mileage after 50 miles.
