no commission detail provided by employer
my employer a cable company pays flat plus commission. when we get our weekly commision reports there is no detail of what orders the commission came from there is no way i can check if i'm actually being paid for the work i did. it has gotten so bad that if our commision drops and we question the department head that maybe she made a mistake many times it turns out that she has resulting in variances in the hundreds. this is a concern for the whole dept of 21

You have a right to know how your commissions are calculated.
Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, you have a right to know how your commissions are calculated. If you have not been paid wages due, including commission amounts due, you may have a claim under the Wage Payment and Collection Law, which would allow you to collect your back wages, a 25% penalty, and your attorneys' fees. You should immediately request an accounting of your wages/commissions for at least the past year, in order to determine whether you've been paid correctly.
