If you were a contractor and you were contracted out I have no clue what the timeline for getting paid is, but if you were working at a place as an employee and quit/were fired then this applies...
Quote:
9. What is the employer’s responsibility when an employee is dismissed and notice is required?
The employee must be provided with termination notice in writing or termination pay. A combination of notice and termination pay is allowed. Payment of all wages, overtime, general holiday pay and vacation pay owing to the date of termination is due within three days.

I have had a situation similar to yours and just printed up what I needed from the Alberta Labour Laws website and then went to the business and just handed the paper over and said its been over a week and this is what the province states so gimme my money. They said that a cheque would be mailed to me and I just told them Ill sit and wait for them to cut me a cheque and sat down. Within 15 mins I was paid. Good luck I know some people/businesses can be asses when it comes to short term employment.
