Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Once I am fired, am I responsible for my ex-employer changing policy to keep my commissions due me?
In other words, I sold something years ago to client "B" 2010. I was fired November 1st 2011. Client wrote the company she wants a refund after I was fired. Our contracts and policy for years clearly states, "NO REFUND" credit only- it is on the invoice.
Six weeks after I was fire, the company refunded my old client 3/4 of her monies and used my commissions due me from another newer sale client "A"- to refund themselves and my old client. I was already fired. How can I be held responsible for what my old company does when I am not there?

No. You are entitled to compensation based on the compensation rules in place when you were there.
You can fight it, and can do so by either filing a claim with the Labor Commissioner, or filing a civil suit if the amount in question is enough to justify doing that. If serious about hiring counsel to help, feel free to contact me.
