Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Independent Contractor Commission
I am a real estate agent and independent contractor with a real estate firm in Atlanta. I am 100% commission and pay only a monthly ''desk rental'' fee plus expenses such as photocopies. There is a disagreement between one of the owners and myself regarding a third party fee (locksmith) for a listing that is not mine. He is attempting to remove the fee without my approval from my next commission check. Is he allowed to remove this money?

You said expenses are deducted. A he said/she said over whether a locksmith fee is an allowable expense between you and the other party is not a legal battle. Work it out.
