Hypothetical question

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

commission payments suddenly stopped. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 4 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Illustrative response

Been there. Here's what I learned.

Here's where people usually go wrong is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Illustrative response

Not a lawyer apparently, but I have direct experience with this.

What trips people up most is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Illustrative response

Has anyone mentioned the WARN Act? If there were 100+ employees and they didn't give 60 days notice, that's a separate federal claim worth pursuing.
