It depends on the terms of your employment agreement. Some provide for commissions on sales made before the termination of employment but earned after termination of employment.
I went through the required interviews and they wanted to hire me but HR kept refusing to accept my state issued High School Equivalent Diploma.

It's unclear from your question whether you were unlawfully discriminated against on the basis of your race, ethnicity, nationality, sex, color, age, disability, or pregnancy.
Remember that discrimination is "unlawful" only if you are a member of a protected class of... View More

In a general answer, yes you can be terminated for that. Same as a person driving after using medical marijuana can be arrested for DUI. Just because something has been made partially legal doesn’t trump other areas of law, or in this case business owners rights and responsibilities. With that... View More
I negotiated a 10% bonus in my offer letter. A lot of my peers did not. Company decided to roll out a new company wide plan where people at my same “grade” and title get a 20% bonus. They will not consider changing my rate because it is in my offer letter. Just because I negotiated a bonus when... View More

Your question is a technical one. If you divorce has not been finalized then more often than not this will be viewed as marital income and would be subject to splitting. Intentional hiding of money is a major issue that should be avoided. Based on your other facts there may be a way around this... View More

I think you are referring to money. County court clerks usually combine court costs and fines (on multiple cases) so that individuals have 1 payment to handle each month.
My employer is requiring me to use my personal vehicle for work purposes. They are reimbursing mileage, so that is not the issue. The problem is that they would like me to transport computer equipment from one location to another. According to my auto insurance, their equipment I am transporting... View More

If the obligations for the transportation of equipment are not included in your employment contract, then the employer cannot force you to do it. I would recommend you to conclude an additional agreement with the employer in which to prescribe all the conditions and responsibilities for the... View More

You should contact an Oklahoma employment attorney to discuss your situation in more detail. While more information is needed here, you should reach out regarding claims for disability discrimination and/or sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Short answer - yes -- but that does not mean you will win; you will have to prove your case with facts and depositions to prove that in fact it was wrongful. This could be a costly road, but then if you win, you have a good chance of also recovering attorney fees
