My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: California
Here's the scenerio.
I was recruited by a company for a commission based sales position (specifically financial services). I was given a contract that called for a draw vs commisssion of $5000 per month for the first 6 months. I was paid half this draw amount every two weeks for the first 2 and a half months, then on Jan 15th when I was to receive my paycheck it didn't arrive. My paycheck typically came via courier so i just figured it would arrive the next business day. When it didn't I emailed payroll and called as well, receiving no response. On the 20th of January I was informed that my employment was being terminated and that I would not be receiving my Jan 15th paycheck. As I understand it, this practice is not legal - that the employer cannot withhold an agreed upon draw that was to cover the prior two week pay period. That this is a violation of the minimum wage laws. Please clue me in to whether I am actually owed this money and if you know where in the California labor code I can find it that would be GREAT!
