Q: I was laid off in June 2017 from a company who still owes me commissions is it too late to collect
initially the owner of the company had agreed that he would meet with me discuss money owed later he has nothing for me that agrement says I get paid when they get paid and since I'm no longer with the company I am not entitled to commissions
A:
Under the California Labor Code, all commission agreements must be in writing. The statute of limitations for enforcing a written agreement is 4 years. The SoL for enforcing a violation of the Labor Code is 3 years. So, if you have a written agreement, you still have time, if you don't you may be too late. You should definitely contact a local attorney specializing in Wage and Hour law, to discuss your particular case in depth.
