In North America, my understanding is that Net 30 Days from Invoice Date are the usual business terms (that's what I remember when I was freelancing in Canada, anyway).
I would say you should start making enquires ten days past that, if you haven't received your cheque yet. If, after 15 days, you still haven't got paid, start sending out Red Ink letters. If that fails to shake anything loose, head for Small Claims Court.
If you're a freelancer, you need to be merciless with delinquent clients, because this is your income and your money to live on.
