Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Two months ago, I was hired as a Sales Agent with a hourly wage with commission at a rate of 5 dollars per unit sold. When I received my check, I received a total incentive of $26 for (42 units sold) -- $184 less than paid. When I contacted payroll, they offered no explaination and said they would research the issue but had not contacted me about it. I since resigned because of the shady payout found on another check where the commission payout was short. What should I do to claim what is due?

File a complaint in small claims court. There, you should get enough instruction as to how to go about the process and obtain a recovery. Alternatively, look into hiring a lawyer, who may be able to get the defendant to pay you your money owed and to pay for your attorney's fees. Finally, you may want to file a claim with the State Labor Commissioner at the Division of Labor Standards' Enforcement. Time is of the essence and you should not delay in this matter.
