Legal Question
Are Retroactive Pay Plans legal?
I took a position in MA (May 2008) with a signed employment agreement between my employer and I. In March 2009, it has been announced that we will be restructuring commission plans.
I was given a new employment agreement last week with a pay increase in salary, but adjusted format for commissions. I have not signed or approved this agreement since my employer is not available to discuss.
I just received payment for salary without increase and a commission payment which was retroactively applied and cuts out ''overpayment'' for January commissions based on this new plan.
Is taking money from my pocket in this way legal? I have not signed a new agreement. Also, if retroactively applying commissions, should I also not see the retroactive increase in my salary?
Please help.
