Some of you might know, I've been working a tech consulting type gig for almost 2 years now. I'm going to be receiving an offer tomorrow for a better job (money, benefits, company culture, etc) with a start date of May 12th.
I had a very good Q1 and I'd like to keep as much of that commission as possible in the transition. Commissions are paid on the 1st in addition to half base salary (base is paid bi-monthly)
If I quit, are there any legal rights I have to claim my commissions or do I forfeit it when I quit? The company commission policy is vague and I can't find too much about it in California employment laws, granted I'm not exactly an expert or know where to look.
I'm thinking my best course of action is to take the offer, then put in my notice immediately after the next payroll run, which would be early next week.
Anyone have some experience in this matter?
