Re: employment law

Assuming that your wife can prove an enforceable oral contract for commissions then your wife would be entitled to any earned commissions upon termination. The employer may also be subject to additional penalties as well for untimely payment. Your wife can either file a wage claim or hire an Attorney to try to recover the earned commissions.
