Although I've commented on this before, as per my previous comment, it is not unusual for private colleges not to pay or to pay at a much later date than scheduled. It has happened to me, and many other lecturers, numerous times.

1) The owners might have had to pay large company or personal bills and place lecturers at bottom of the pile for payment. This certainly reflects on what they think of lecturers. They are business people and view lecturers as only tools, easily replaced.

2) Many lecturers are immigrants themselves, and view such behaviour as commonplace in their own societies where college owners rule like mini-emperors. They usually do not question such behaviour or fight back.
