Sales Commissions
I have been working for a company for a little under 3 years and have an employment contract that states my base salary and commission percentage payout on all signed contracts. For the first 2 years their was no problem in recieving my commissions but in the last 8 months they have refused to pay my earned commissions. The excuse has been that the company has not been making enough money on these projects (I'm in the construction industry and I have copies of all signed contracts on the projects that I have sold in the last year and that I have not recieved my commissions on. The outstanding balance is approaching 30k and I would like to know if I have any leg to stand on to get my company to pay this money. Their has been no change to my original employment agreement.
