The State of California gives employees – including salespeople earning commission – the right to be paid for their work, the right to be paid on time, and the right to be paid overtime.
Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous employers across the state who attempt to keep the commissions rightfully owed to their sales forces. This is known as “failure to pay commissions” and affects salespeople in every aspect of a business. Here at JML Law, we take on many lawsuits such as this, where employees have been denied their hard-earned cash because their employer has ignored their moral and legal duties to pay workers the commission that they are owed.
What Does Californian Labor Law Say About Unpaid Commissions and Earnings
If you are a salesperson working in California for a firm, you have certain legal rights, which our lawyers will always fight to protect. You must have a written agreement with your employer which spells out certain terms and conditions for your employment, including the type of commission you are paid, how many times a month you will receive your commission (usually twice per calendar month), and any legitimate deductions that can be taken to cover certain expenses. This agreement between you must be signed by both you and your employer, and it cannot be changed retrospectively once it has been signed. Termination of employment – either by you or your employer – is also covered by California law.
- If you quit after giving at least 72 hours’ notice, all payments to you must be made on the last day of your employment;
- If you quit without giving notice, you must receive your final pay within 72 hours of your leaving;
- If your employer terminates your contract, you must receive all earned and unpaid wages immediately.
