Pending commission paycheck to be honored after 2 weeks put in?

Question

Curious how this works, with end of QTR and year coming if you where to put your two weeks in towards end of December. The commission someone would be due for closing deals in Dec or even 4th qtr depending on how the payment structure is. If you where to put in 2 weeks and be gone in Jan but theoretically be due commission check end of January.

Are you still entitled to that money?

Accepted Answer

Check your comp plan it should say it pretty clearly

Answer

I think it depends on the company but I’d guess most good companies will honor it. When I moved on to another role, I was still getting checks several months later.

Answer

What does your comp plan say?  That’s the first thing to check.  Most will not pay out a departed employee, but it should be there in detail.

Answer

Fairly speaking Yes, cuz that was my deal unless the contract states something else in that particular case!

Answer

Depends on comp but I’m in a similar situation. I’m not getting mine :/

Answer

Depends on what your comp pay schedule is. Monthly quarterly etc. But I’m not a fan of anything over a month because that’s money left and you’re stuck.

Answer

What does your employment agreement say?

Answer

Depends on the company

Answer

Unless your comp plan specifically states differently, if you aren’t there you won’t get paid.

Answer

I think it depends on your contract. But in my experience most of the time it is still paid

Answer

Read your comp plan.

Answer

I would not bet on it. A lot of companies would not. I even had one ask me to say an extra 10 days (my last day ended up being Dec 22nd) and no Q4 bonus.

Answer

When I left a sales job earlier this year I was given the commissions earned while actively selling until my last day. I was then paid out everything due when the period ended. I did have to forfeit all MRR past my last day, as that was only paid if collected by the company.

Answer

Almost every comp plan that I ever signed stated that one must be employed at the time of scheduled payout to receive any commission due. I've had a company honor commission on deals for up to 2 years after departure, though...

Answer

I have always received my commission after leaving

Answer

Check your comp plan/contract! That is always the answer.

Answer

Super important to check the fine print in your comp plan.

Quit job, will you still get commissions you where owed if you stayed?
