Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio

Employee threatens to sue employee for job performance

I work for a local office of a national publishing company. I am responsible for accounts receivable for 5 salespersons. A sales rep has said that she can sue if I do not collect on her accounts and she is charged back her commission when the account goes to an outside agency. Her reason is that I am not doing my job and it has cost her money My collections to an outside agency is .0001%. She strongly feels she can do this. Can she? If she can, am I able to sue the sales reps because they cannot meet their goals which has affected my pay raise? Raises were drastically reduced because of the reduction in revenue.

A response would be greatly appreciated. I work in Montgomery County in the state of Ohio

Thank you

The sales person has no claim against you at all. Her client's failure to pay is an issue between the sales person/company and the client. You cannot be held responsible for her client's failure to honor its obligations.
