Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

Sales Commissions

I represented a company for 12 years. When I first began with them they were paying .4125 % on their top of the line lighting products. However, it was not all paid out that way. You actually received 65% of that up front then for the next 4 years you were paid a 10% (bonus) which then added up to the .4125 % they said you would earn. However if you left the company then they kept the 10%'s. When I left them they owed me over $15,000.
