Calif. High Court Gives Guidance on Post-Employment Sales Commission
The recent decision Schachter v. Citigroup is the first California Supreme Court case to address the question of post-employment sales commissions. The court's guidance is necessary because existing case law and interpretations from the California Department of Labor Standards Enforcement have not provided a clear, consistent or well-founded framework, says attorney Richard H. Frank. The ruling provides guidance for companies on crafting enforceable employment contracts and commission plans to address this issue.
