Re: Commissionable wages
Generally, employers in the state of California must pay their employees at least twice monthly. If you are receiving wage payments twice each month, your employer is complying. Payment of commission wages may be delayed based upon a variety of factors, calculation after post sale services, for example. If your employer is reducing your commission earnings, you should file a claim with the nearest office of the State Labor Commissioner.
