Unpaid Commissions Definition in Andover Township, NJ

Unpaid commissions arise when sales professionals or other performance-based employees are not compensated for commissions they have already earned. Under New Jersey law, commissions that are earned and due must be paid, regardless of whether the employee is still with the company. Withholding these payments violates state wage and compensation regulations.

Common types of unpaid commission violations include:

1. Failure to Pay Earned Commissions
   An employer refuses or delays paying commissions after an employee has closed a deal or met the required conditions for payment.
2. Withholding Commissions After Termination
   Employers may try to avoid paying commissions earned before an employee leaves the company, even though the law requires payment.
3. Improper Commission Reductions or Clawbacks
   Some employers unlawfully change commission rates, reduce earned amounts, or attempt to reclaim paid commissions without valid grounds.
4. Unclear or Misleading Commission Agreements
   Disputes often occur when commission terms are not clearly documented, leaving employees at risk of underpayment.
5. Failure to Follow Commission Policies
   Companies may ignore written compensation policies or change commission structures without proper notice.

Unpaid commission disputes occur across many industries, including sales, real estate, technology, insurance, and finance, and they can affect both employees and independent contractors. If you have not received commissions you earned, Castronovo & McKinney, LLC is prepared to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you are owed.
