Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas
Commisson
I am currently working in Sales for an enteratinment industry. And we have yet to be paid any commission on sales made and close and paid out since August. They came up with a new commission structure in order to prevent people from leaving the company before a certain date. They agreed to pay us each month for the previous months sales, but only 50% initially, the rest will be paid off in 10% increments each month. However, if you are fired or resign before you have been paid all of your increments of back commission you forfeit your money. Not to mention upon taking the job I receive an offer letter stating that I would make a base salary + commission and I would receive an overtime rate for all hours worked over 40 hours per week. We have several events that we are required to work and receive no compensation Can they just change the status of our employment contract as well as the commission structure is this legal. Should I hav to sign a new employment contract.

Re: Commisson
Based on what you have stated, generally employers are required to pay an employee for wages earned during employment. As such, it appears that your employer is not paying you correctly.
