My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Washington
I work for a large company based in Connecticut ( not sure if that matters for law jurisdiction).
Going to do the best to sum this up.
I am paid a base plus bonus pay plan. The bonus is similar to commission, but they call it bonus rather. I sell 2 types of items, A and B. Selling these items gives me a certain amount of credit towards my goal. Both items are worth different amount of credit. In 2014 I received credit for selling both items, only difference really was the amount of credit I get. In 2015 I still get credit for selling both items, but now I get an additional 5% cash bonus for selling item B.
Sold a large sum of item B in 2014 in December. Was great, the credit counted towards my goal. Well, some of that cancelled this month. Which is where my problem comes in.
Because my pay plan now says I get 5% cash bonus on item B when sold, the are trying to take back money they never paid me because I'm negative in item B since the cancels.
Can they do that, take money from a bonus that was never awarded/paid in the first place?
