Employment Law - my employer won't pay me my commissions


Expert: Thomas R. Ballas - 7/2/2009

Question
For the past 3 years I have been receiving a commission based on the amount of revenue my department brings in.  I track that revenue and then present it for payment at the end of each fiscal year which ends in April.  In march, one of the owners of the company I work for forced the other owner into selling out.  Now the owner that is still here is saying he is not going to pay me my commissions because he doesn't think I should be getting them. Can he do that?

Answer
Jane:

He should not change the way you are compensated in arrears.  He can notify you on a date that ongoing, the method of payment is going to change.

If he does try to change the arrangement in arrears, you can file a wage claim with your state. Go to your state's web site and look under employment on how to do so.
