What to do regarding an employer not paying wages?

I worked for a contactor on a job site for a week. We parted ways halfway through the second week. I was told I would be paid my wages as agreed upon on the Friday of the second week by the

subcontractor and then also the contracting company and both have failed to do so. If I file suit in small claims court, which party should be responsible for paying the wages owed?
