Your Work is What Matters.
Being Denied Your Pay is Illegal.

Losing your job is hard. Realizing your employer kept wages, commissions or a bonus you earned is devastating. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state laws protect your right to be paid for your work. Let's explore your rights.

01

Unpaid Commissions

You closed deals and met your quota, but your employer is refusing to pay your full commission, claiming you "weren't an employee" at the time of payout.
02

Withheld "Earned" Bonus

You met all the requirements for a performance bonus, but you were terminated just before the payout date, and the company is refusing to pay it.
03

Unpaid Overtime / Wages

You were misclassified as an "exempt" employee and worked overtime without pay, or your employer is refusing to pay out your final wages or accrued vacation time.

Answering your Questions

Understanding Your Rights

Navigating your rights under wage laws can feel overwhelming, especially after a job loss. Our Free Leverage Assessment is built to clarify your situation.

Q: What is an “earned" commission?

A. This depends on your commission agreement. If you completed all the work required to “earn" the commission (like making the sale), it is often considered yours, even if you are terminated.

Q: What about my bonus?

A. It depends on the bonus type. A “discretionary" bonus is hard to claim. A non-discretionary bonus (e.g., "if you hit X, you get Y") is often treated as an earned wage.

Your ADA Checklist Can Help:

Do you have a written commission plan or employment agreement?
Did you close deals or hit quotas for which you haven't been paid?
Were you terminated just before a large commission or bonus was due to be paid?
Did your employer fail to pay out your final wages or accrued PTO?
Did your employer suddenly change the commission plan to avoid paying you?
