Re: resigning from a job that pays only commission
Depends on your written contract if you have one. If not, you will likely have to sue to collect for your commissions on a theory of breach of implied contract and/or unjust enrichment.
If you are on good terms with the company, try to get a separation agreement in writing to address these commissions before you leave.
