Has anyone been denied commission? If so, response?

When promoted, I was promised a percentage on any company I brought in. During covid I didn't say anything due to the company going through financial issues. I came off furlough and then 4 months later we went through a funding round and got a lot of money.

I then brought up my owed commission (As I didn't want to cause a problem due it being a small start up during bad times) and then I was told it wasn't a thing anymore.

I, being on furlough, couldn't risk arguing due to the job market.

Just wondering how others would react or what they'd do?

Are you asking for commission for deals that came in while you were on furlough? Or to continue this agreement now that you're back?

Prior to Furlough I was promised commission, after furlough, and the funding round (around the same time) I asked for it once we had it on deals i brought in pre-covid. I'm the only person doing this job in my company so every deal brought in (long sales cycle) was due to me

Did they ever pay you pre- furlough?

Regardless it's gonna be tough without a signed agreement.

Gonna be tough since the company holds all the cards and OP holds none. Just start looking around. If they screwed you once, they'll screw you again.

Was there any paper trail of this? If yes you could lawyer up if it’s a sizable amount.
