I am a salary puls commission employee, can my boss take my commission away from me that I have already earned.

I do need to check my local laws though correct, but this was right to the point and was answered.

Dang Nebula! That is a very GOOD, clear answer. Impressed.

Yes Clandestine1 I was impressed with the answer too.

By federal law, once money has been earned, it cannot be withheld. Future comminssions can be withdrawn or you can suffer a cut in pay, but regardless whether it is incentive, comission, piece work, or straight wages, once earned it belongs, by federal law , to the employee.
You can file a state department of labor complaint for withholding wages as all states enforce federal wage and hour laws.
There are some straight commission sales jobs that if the eal falls through or the car is reurned you lose you commission but this does not sound liek those type of employment contracts

And would that mean that is the same as a PO? and quotes that I still have out? would that fall under the same as being earned? Some of the PO's have not been paid yet and I do have quotes still out there with my customers.

I do not know what a PO is ( ifeel silly) is it purchase order?
If the deal is doen, paid for, then you have earned you maoney. are you subject to returns being deducted. it would help if we knew what you sold.

Yes a PO is a purchase order, it is a promise of payment and we also get contracts from the customers as well. I work in the Nuclear Industry and sell them product such as electronics and shielding. Nuk plants have what is called fitness for duty and are subject to random drug and alcohol tests. In our manule it states that we can not show up to work with any BAC over a .04, twice I have came to work with BAC of .02 and a .018, this is what he has based taking my commission away from me.

On top of that I was suspended for 2 weeks with out pay.

It is my opinion that they cannot "punish" an employee by taking their money they already earned. I think you have a valid complaint with your state labor commission.

Imagine if that were true, half the peopel would not have paychecks.
