I have posted this is several sections, but I didn't see this one - I'm sorry mods!
My question involves business law in the state of: PA
I worked briefly for a car dealership as a service advisor. I was given a salary structure that would entail a weekly base plus commissions. I had been performing beyond expectations from the day I started, and almost all the staff was replaced within one week of me starting.
On the salary structure I would recieve 500 per week and then 3% of all sales (warranty and cod) of my personal sales and 2% of total overhead sales.
On the 31st day of the month, I asked our brand new service manager when I should expect my commissions check (approx 2200 give or take a few dollars). I was given the "i don't know" and a "we are working on a new salary structure for service advisors".
I didn't feel comfortable with this, so I spoke with some of the other advisors about it and the very next day I was let go. I met with the owner of the dealer the next day to discuss getting the commissions check. He tried to act like he didn't owe me anything, and played it like he was doing me a favor by offering me 700 dollars in lue of reviewing my sales stating "if i was look over your sales, you would owe me money". I knew at that time he was going to try and stiff me on the money so I left and filed for a lawsuit.
Fast forward to the court, I went and explained to the court what had happened. I presented my salary arrangement and a copy of all the sales records I had (that I was able to get before I was escorted out). The owner had said that I had agreed to taking the first 30 days with no commissions, (which is untrue) and presented a letter from the hiring manager to the court. Of course, I had not signed anything of that fact nor did I agree to this structure. The end result was that the judge ruled in my favor.
I contacted the owner shortly after this ruling to find out when he would be sending me the judgement and he said that he was going to appeal it. Simply on the fact that he thought the judge was just wrong and that he didn't feel like he needed to give me anything. He then proceeded to offer me again, 700 dollars to let this judgement go. I informed him that I was only interested in him paying me what he owes me and nothing less. He didn't agree and the conversation ended.
Now here in PA he has up to 30 days to appeal the judgement from the magistrate. He of course waited until the last day to file the appeal. I have a copy of it, but there is no reason for the appeal on the appeal form.
My friend recommends that I file a motion for dismissal based on the fact that he is purposely trying to delay the case so that he doesn't have to pay the money that he owes. He also thinks and is suggesting that the appeal he is filing doesn't have any merit and there is no new evidence to be presented to the case.
What do you guys think i should do? What is the term where he is trying to appeal the case to purposely delay the judgement from the magistrate? Also, my friend says I should file for a motion of discovery saying that I should have access to everything involving this lawsuit.
Any advice on this guys?
Thanks!
