Q: Does the employer have to pay sales commission post termination once client has paid their invoices?
Under CA law...If under a commission agreement the sales person is paid commission once the customer pays and the sales person is terminated does the employer still owe commissions to the ex-employee and do they pay them once the customer pays the open invoices per the customer contract and invoice due dates which is based on term of contract?
Will you review my agreement to see if I am owed what is mine?
There is not a forfeiture clause.
A:
It all depends on the terms of the commissions agreement. There are agreements that provide that you only commissions that are paid while you are employed. Others allow for commissions that are earned when booked but paid when the customer pays without reference to continued employment. It all depends. You are going to have to have someone look at your written commissions agreement.
Good luck to you.
