What is the name of your state?
I live in Missouri, but I am employed in Kansas
My question is this:
I will be leaving my sales position at my current employer, for another sales position within our industry - in other words, I am going to work for the competition. I do not plan to give a traditional two weeks notice, so as to avoid any potential conflict of interest between the two companies. Typically, even when notice is given, when you leave for a competitor you are asked to leave the day you turn in your resignation.
I did not sign a non-compete/disclosure agreement with my current employer.
We are paid a base salary, plus commissions. There are two commission plans in which I participate, depending on the type of product sold. Plan 1 "Parts" pays commissions on parts orders on the 15th of the month after they were booked. (Parts sold in August, will have commissions paid in September, etc.) Plan 2 "Equipment" pays commissions on the goods on the 15th of the month after the equipment ships. (Equipment sold in August, but which doesn't ship until September, would be paid in October, etc.)
Do I have any legal recourse if my current employer refuses to pay me my commission due if I am no longer employed at the time the commission is to be paid? I am planning on leaving on 8/31/04, and have been booking orders on which commission will not be due under their plan until at least 9/15/04 and in some cases (for Plan 2 sales) several months in the future.
