It's only been 3 weeks. Maybe he's net 30.

"never send finals to a client that has not paid for the item"
"How does that work? I've never encountered a client who sets deadlines three weeks (a reasonable amount of time for a client to take processing cheques for contractors) before launch."
Is this really a company processing checks...or just a guy he met at a party? I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask him to pay when the work is handed over for such a small, informal kind of job.

Send paper. Sometimes that impresses.

Remind that your terms state that the cost will go up by 10% a month after 26 days of non payment. Then ask him if he's having money problems and offer to do two/three monthly payments.
If that doesn't work, steal his iPhone.

- Exactly. Always go by the book or say no.monoboy

Send it again. Most people just forget/ignore invoices (that don't have an accounting dept, where they literally avoid you for months). He'll pay, you just have to be patient.
3 weeks is nothing, though. I'd probably hold off and just mention it to your coworker at some point, as it was more or less a favor to them.

This is not Seinfeld. And your not asking out the girl from the Deli.

personally I would wait, it's only $100. After 6 weeks and no payment I would send the reminder and add that you have been patient and would appreciate him taking care of it asap.

In all seriousness though, on your invoice that you sent three weeks ago, what exactly did it say about timing for payment?

So we should pay before we eat at restaurants or before we get haircuts?

First comment pretty much nailed it.
Contact him to remind him. Unfortunately, I've been guilty of forgetting to pay out a friend once or twice. A courteous reminder will do the trick.
