Tell DCM you need a "good faith" payment of at least half of what she's past due and you need it by tomorrow. If she can't do that, tell her you need something. Next payday, she needs to pay a full week plus 25% of what's past due. Let her know you are willing to work with her but you set up how you want paid what and when. She doesn't follow through, you're probably better off parting ways.
Five days??! Really?????? Wow. I require payments of the first of each month. If it's not here on the 2nd, they pay a $10 late fee. If it's not here on the 3rd, they are not welcome back. Period. We start making exceptions and extending payment dates and people will always take advantage!
