Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Sales Commission Wages Reduced

It sounds like that policy could well violate the California Labor Code -- sections 221-223. For a discussion about the code sections, and California law on the point, paste the link below into your address bar -- it's a case that found certain employer deductions to be illegal

Re: Sales Commission Wages Reduced

Can they? Yes, they just did, didn't they?

Should they? No.

Is there anything you can do other than quit? Yes, you could file a Labor Commissioner claim for the unpaid compensation lost under the spares issue. That will force a legal decision.

You can also hire counsel to negotiate restoration of your proper compensation , past in future. The goal is to avoid them firing you, which would then be grounds for wrongful termination claims. If you need counsel, feel free to contact me as you are close, and this is a speciality of my practice.

Re: Sales Commission Wages Reduced

This is most likely subject entirely to the written contract you have with the former/current employer. Reviewing the agreement would be necessary before any advice could be given. However, if the contract or the course of dealing provides legal justification to pursue your claim -entering into a productive dialogue with this company would be advisable given the on-going business relationship.

I would be willing to discuss some of the issues concerning your case to see how I may be of assistance.

I offer prospective clients an initial consultation of 30 minutes for free.

I look forward to speaking with you.

Yours truly,

Bryan
