New York and its localities have laws that regulate sales commissions earned as an employee. To get your unpaid commissions from your employer, you must become more familiar with these labor and employment laws before proposing or accepting an offer.
In NY, you and your employer must sign a commission agreement that specifies how wages, salary, and sales commissions are calculated.
If there is no written and duly signed and executed commissions agreement between the employer and employee, specifying how the employee is compensated, how often your wages and commissions are reconciled, and the terms of separation if you get terminated, as required by New York State law, Courts in NY will generally give more weight to the terms of employment as recollected by the employee, as opposed to that of the employer.If there is an employment agreement relating to the commissions you believe are owed to you by your employer, the court will follow the contract's express language. Because NY employment and labor laws vary from other states, it is advised that you learn your legal options and a legal strategy by consulting with the experienced NY unpaid commissions lawyers at El-Hag & Associates PC.
Sometimes when you work on commission, for example, in a sales position where your pay depends on the number of sales you make, it may not be clear what was already "earned." Because of this, you may have questions or concerns about your commission and whether it is being correctly calculated and paid. At El-Hag & Associates, PC., we can review your employment commission contract or commission agreement, advise you of your legal options, develop a legal strategy, and start a legal claim for unpaid commissions and other wage and employment issues we often find when we investigate unpaid commissions that are due, on your behalf of employees who come to us for a Free No Obligation Legal Consultation.

Laws vary from state to state, so it is advisable to consult with a New York unpaid commission lawyer at El-Hag & Associates, P.C. to determine whether your commission agreement and your employer’s actions to comply with the law. Under New York law, a commission agreement must be in writing and signed by both the employer and employee. In the absence of a signed written agreement, courts will favor the terms as recollected by the employee over those of the employer.
The commission agreement must state how wages, salary, and commissions are calculated; if it provides for a recoverable draw, the frequency of reconciliation; and, in the event of termination or resignation, how wages, salary, and commissions will be paid.
Before signing your contract, you should review its terms. In New York, courts generally uphold the express language of the agreement, so it is important to understand what you are signing.
While you may feel you are owed commission on a particular sale, it is possible your commission has not yet been "earned" under your agreement. If you are unclear about any of the provisions of your agreement or are unsure whether you have been properly paid, the commission attorneys at El-Hag & Associates, P.C. can review your work situation and contract and, where appropriate, bring a lawsuit for unpaid wages on your behalf. Also, under the New York Labor Law, an employee can bring a claim dating back six years.

Are you an hourly, salaried, or tipped worker?
You might be owed tens of thousands of dollars in lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages and not even know it!
Usually, an employer will withhold your last paycheck or commissions, and make certain deductions from your last paycheck for bogus expenses. Your employer must provide you with your last paycheck on payday immediately following your last day of employment. And your employer cannot deduct money from your wages without your express authorization and only for benefits provided through the job. Often, the employer feels it is only one paycheck, so it is not enough for an attorney to take the case. Do not feel this way; if your boss does not pay you your last paycheck, you have rights, and El-Hag & Associates, P.C can get you the money you are owed.

Justina Peets
Jordan and his staff was so professional, and on top of my case, they updated me throughout the process the whole way through! If i ever need a lawyer again i will be calling Jordan without a second thought.
Matthew Zekanovic
Jordan and his team are the best at what they do. His professionalism is nothing but superior and made the whole process easy and stress free. There wasn't a single objective that he couldn't overcome. Jordan was nothing but honest, transparent, and easy to work with. Never at one point did I feel he wasn't trustworthy. He guided me in the right direction to achieve the best possible outcome, and succeeded. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but El-Hag & Associates!
Paul
I hired Jordan to take a look at a recent employment agreement. Unlike other lawyers, it was a pleasure communicating with him. We had an initial phone call and within 2 hours he read the documents, attached notes to specific parts of it and was able to break it down for me in plain English. He has been available for follow up questions without demanding additional pay - which I appreciate. I work in the psychiatry field and have a very good sense for people and their trustworthiness. I will definitely be coming back to Jordan for any future legal advice associated with my business. I also plan to recommend him to colleagues, friends and family. A+ experience!
Jeffrey Medina
Very responsive and knowledgeable. Great guy who is willing to help no matter how big or small the issue or question.
Kinney Glass
I was discouraged by other firms who told me it wasn’t worth effort. After the first time speaking with Jordan El-Hag I decided to place my faith in him. He was patient and meticulous. Always keeping me up to date with the case. When curveballs would come my way the team would reassure me not to worry. I will recommend everyone I know to El Hag and Associates.
