I am one of those people who hate chasing up money even though I have been owed it. The person I was dealing with is nice but they haven't paid me for some work I did, so do you think a simple "Hey, how's it going? I was wondering if you had a chance to talk to payroll/admin regarding the payment for [event] we discussed?" would be fine?
That sounds completely reasonable
Yep it's on them to feel bad about them not paying you, not you. That's a very reasonable email. Can't imagine how you could word it any nicer or gentler.
I always feel horrible when I owe people money, but I also feel horrible asking people for money. It sucks.
I don't think that's a bad thing to do though.
