I was offered a sales job today with a base salary and a commission component to it. What they explained to me is that in order to retain staff, they choose to pay out 50% of my commission for the month, on month's end. The remaining 50% would be paid six months later. I guess this is a popular way of retaining staff, however, based on this fact, does that mean I am not able to recover my hard earned commission for the last six months I am with the company? Is this legal for them to do that, since it should be my money they are delaying to pay?
any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
