Was not payed for final week of work. Advice on how to move forward?

I (20 M) worked with a solar contracting company during the summer. I signed a W-9 and an agreement with the company that said that I will be paid $750/week, so long as I meet the quota. The quota in question is “600 doors knocked/week or 10 appointments made per week”.

The thing is, he said he would send over the payment and never did. He is no longer responding to any messages and I have still yet to receive payment over the weekend. I have a copy of the agreement I signed with them. Is there any legal recourse I have? This is in southern california. Any help would be appreciated on how I could proceed.
