More About Unpaid Commissions
Commissions are payments based on performance and are often tied to sales or specific goals. They are different from regular wages, which are paid on an hourly or salaried basis. Commissions play a crucial role for many, including sales professionals, real estate agents and roles where performance incentives are common.
Unpaid commissions are governed by state and federal laws, such as:
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): A federal Act that helps to ensure timely and full payment of earned wages, including commissions.
- Indiana statute § 22-2-9-1: A state law mandating payment of all earned wages, expressly including commission payments.
Possible remedies under these Acts may include payment of unpaid wages through legal action and penalizing employers for non-compliance.
