What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I am a commissioned employee for a company that owes me commissions for sales. The owner will not pay me because he says they have no money. I have not returned to the job because of this. I have filed a complaint with the Texas Labor Board as well as UI. The owner has actually left messages wondering why I have not been working. And stated that it is wrong to "no show".
I had asked him several times to pay me and get different responses each time. Mostly just gives me a blank stare & shrugs his shoulders.
I also know he has taken customers $$ (including mine) and allocated it toward different expenses. He has insisted that the sales people continue to call potential prospects to make sales. However, I questioned several times about how I could do this if he can not deliver goods. He justs says "I just need X number of sales....
It just recently came to light the true situation of this company and what is happening. The expression "rob Peter to pay Paul" comes to mind when I consider what I have discovered. I googled it and that is exactly what is going on. Taking money for one thing but using it to pay another which is usually a debt.
Is there a term for this? Is there something I can do to stop this company from continuing this? If so, who do I contact? Seriously......isn't this illegal?
