Laid off after 2 years as a contractor and worried about Q4 pay

Question

I recently was laid off and am wondering how I can ensure I get paid for Q4 commissions and receive severance as it is a grey area how my company calculates commissions.

Accepted Answer

Do you have a contract? You should have this clearly spelled out.

Answer

Never heard of 1099 severance. The commission part? That should be in your agreement.

Answer

What were you told at time of layoff? If you’re in the states they had to tell you, or maybe just full time employees get that bit.

Answer

What country are you in?  If you have in writing somewhere how much you’re owed take some screenshots so the company can’t go change it (happened to me)
