Has anyone ever dealt with a company withholding commissions due to end of employment? Also, do the applicable laws come from the state in which the employee works or the state in which the org is incorporated?
I have a rather large commission payout coming, and was given an awesome opportunity at a previous employer. I'm worried that if I leave after I've earned said commission, but before I've been paid out that they may try to screw me.

I'm a MM rep that sourced a deal that likely should have been in the Enterprise bucket. I had to bring in Enterprise at the close in order to get the deal in. Enterprise now owns the account. I've done everything required to get dual comped on it, and no longer have to be involved in the account in any way. The tricky part is, that spend accumulates daily. I get X% of their spend over a 30 days time frame, which, at the end of, would then have to open a new opportunity for my ops team to manually move to closed-won so that I can officially attain the commission (I would 100% be eligible at this point). Where I'm scratching my head a little bit is that if it lays out that I've done everything needed to do except the weird closed-won operations piece, would I still be entitled to the full 30 day spend if I were to leave 15 days into it.
