Many employees in Long Beach work in industries and jobs that are based on commissions. California sees commissions jobs as those where the employee performs service involving the closing of a sale or a sale-based job. Sometimes tips can fall into this category. Commissions are typically based on the amount of the sale and an employee must be directly involved in the sale of the property. Employers will use various tactics to avoid paying commissions to hard-working employees. Every case is unique and has its own obstacles to get through. If you fear you have a wage or unpaid commission issue, consult with a Long Beach unpaid commissions attorney.
Do many employees wonder how an employer can even refuse to pay commissions? Well, some employers will implement commission plans which manipulate workers to perform duties without paying them accordingly. There are other circumstances like a client not paying for a completed sale or the employee not getting appropriate credit for the sale. Some employers will go as far as changing the commission plan without informing their employees. Another method that employers use to avoid paying commissions is when an employee is terminated or leaves, they do not pay even though the terms of sale had been established previously. If any of these circumstances sound like what you are currently facing then it is time to consult with a Long Beach unpaid commissions attorney who can discuss the details of your circumstances and determine an appropriate plan of action.
