Legal Question in Employment Law in Nevada

I have been working for my company for over 11 years and I am on a 100% commission based contract. The owner retired and sold the company. The new owner now wants to re-do a new contract and put me on an hourly rate with a bonus structure that is ridiculously hard to hit. Can he fire me if I refuse to sign a new contract? Wouldn't that be considered breach of contact?

In order to answer your question, more facts would have to be presented. For one, what is the expiration date on your existing contract? Second, does the contract allow for unilateral modification in terms of payment structure? You may have contractual rights and may have other rights (e.g., a right to unemployements benefits). Undoubtedly, however, that it will likely be worth your time, effort and money schedule a one-hour consultation with an attorney who regularly works in the area of labor and employment law. You will be best served if you understand all of your options prior to engaging in conflict with the new owner.
