    Default Repayment of Commissions After Resignation

    I am from Texas. I resigned from my position on April 26th I was over payed for commisions in March and they were going to fire me due to me not having paperwork to back it up. I explained that my actions were not intentional and infact the only reason I had no paper work was because the offices had flooded. The following week May 4th was pay day I was due a commision check and my salary check. I recieved neither the next day I recieved a letter stating that the investigation they were performing would come to a close on May 18th and at that time we would discuss repayment options, until then they were withholding my paycheck. First off after working there for 4 years I have seen numerous people get fired for intentionally stealing and they were never asked to repay or give back. After looking on the Texas Workforce Website I have found that they cannot with hold my paycheck even if they find I owe them money. Today is the 18th still no paycheck when I called I was told they would be sending me a letter in the mail and that I owed them $3200. My commision check would more than cover this and they by law are required to release my checks, Right? What are my rights? Do I have to repay? Can they hold my checks? Please help!

    Default Re: Resigned Repayment?

    They should not be improperly holding your check, but at the same time if they believe you were stealing from them (falsifying documents to get a larger-than-earned commission is stealing) they could choose to involve the police if you push this. Yes, they have every right to recover from you any money you were paid but did not earn.
