If you put payment terms on your invoice it's time to enforce them. If you didn't it's generally accepted by the courts that 30 days is enough time to wait for payment.
Email whatever contact you have have Hays telling them that they're in breach of contract and should all outstanding invoices not be paid by XXX date you will consider them in breach and YourCo will remove all staff from site. You MUST be prepared to walk though. Having said that if you're not getting paid now you've nothing to lose.
Hays dicked me about for a few weeks until the client rang them to ask why one of their best contractors (I bought the butties that morning
) was unable to come back the next Monday. That bit depends on how you get on with the client. Luckily mine hated Hays 'cause they kept sending idiots through for interview who didn't know what a Windows service was (not me before anyone says anything).

But when you finally get paid....

I had 9 outstanding invoices last week and then, like a giant wave of delight crashing on the shore of joy, they were all paid at once - I was tempted to ask to be paid once a quarter just to re-live the joy. Seriously though, there was a problem with my contract which only came to light through constant and insistent hassling - get on their backs every day until they give in and pay you!__________________
