FlexTV supporting, 10 days — $650/day but paid 45 days late

The gig itself was fine. $650/day, 10 days, supporting role on a FlexTV romance series in LA. Director was competent, conditions were acceptable, script was mediocre but whatever. The problem was payment. Contract said net-30. Day 30 came and went. I emailed. No response for a week. Emailed again. Got a "processing delay" reply. Finally got paid on day 47. $6,500 is a lot of money to be waiting on. I had to dip into savings for rent that month. When I asked other actors who'd worked with the same production company, two of them said the same thing — always late, always apologetic, always pays eventually. I'd probably work with them again if the rate was right. But I'd budget assuming I won't see the money for 60 days.
