How do I make sure a contractor is paying their subs?

I read a post from someone in the BP community. He said that he found out his contractor was not paying the subs for the work/materials they did/provided. Brings up the question. How do I know if the subs are being paid? Do I pay them directly? I have not purchased my first investment property yet but just wondering how this works? Thank you.

@Rhett Kelton. Thank you Rhett. I hate to micromanage too but I would not like any surprises later. It comes back to really vetting the contractor and having a solid contract.
