Question: Can a company legally withhold commissions that were earned prior to an employee's termination?

Answer: In a case where an employee was terminated and the company withheld commissions that were already earned, it is essential to gather all relevant paperwork, including the commission schedule and any employment agreements. This documentation will help determine the legality of the company's actions under relevant state law and relevant contracts. If the paperwork indicates that commissions are owed, legal action can be pursued for unpaid commissions. If you'd like to book a call with an attorney to discuss the details of your situation or to review documentation and any relevant contract(s), contact Cape Law to see if services are offered in the relevant jurisdiction.
