Cleveland Unpaid Commissions Lawyers

Employer Refusal to Pay Attorneys

Unpaid wage cases often deal with unpaid commissions. These situations arise when sales persons are missing commissions that they are owed from sales that were made. If an employer is withholding sales commissions, it is a violation of state and federal employment laws and employers should be held responsible for their illegal employment actions.

If you are owed sales commissions, turn to our lawyers at the Ohio law office of Novak & Pavlik. We have been helping clients in the Cleveland area with their employment law and other legal issues for over 75 years. Our firm is skilled at handling all types of non-payment of commissions and unpaid wages cases, taking the time to assess your case and determine how to proceed with your best interests in mind.

Unpaid sales commission cases can stem from a range of situations, such as:

  • You closed a major deal and you did not receive the correct commission payment (either a smaller portion or none at all)
  • You landed a sales project, arranged meetings, closed the deal and performed the majority of the work for the project but are then told the project was a team effort
  • You failed to receive a specified bonus or commission for which your employer was contractually obligated to pay

If your employer is found to be responsible for withholding sales commissions, there are laws that may provide you with compensation in addition to what was originally owed. Your attorneys' fees may have to be paid by the employer if the refusal to pay your sales commission was made in bad faith.

Our lawyers also can review any contracts where you had to waive your right to employment compensation or sales commissions by signing. This is illegal and that part of the contract is void. Your employer is obligated to pay you according to the regulations of the business and the laws that govern the way in which they treat and pay employees.
