Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I am an inside sales, 100% commission only employee in the state of CA. My company just announced that, as a "gift" they are going to be paying me for PTO in 2011. I have worked for this company for 4 years and have not been paid for PTO or overtime. My question is: As a 100% commission only employee, do I have the right to go back and ask my employer for PTO for the last 4 years they have denied it to me? Thanks!

No. It isn't something you were ever 'entitled' to. Be happy with the new 'gift'.

There is no legal right to PTO. It is, in fact, a gift.
