You have a legal right to be paid minimum wage, overtime when eligible and to be paid earned commissions

At Sipio Law, we represent employees in claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws, ensuring workers receive the wages and commissions they are owed. Whether you’ve been denied overtime pay or misclassified as an independent contractor, we are committed to holding employers accountable. Our firm aggressively pursues justice for workers in individuals, fighting for fair compensation and protecting employee rights.

​

The FLSA is a federal law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements for most employees in the U.S. Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid at least the federal minimum wage and receive overtime pay at one and a half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. ​

​

In many jurisdictions, commissions are considered wages once they are earned under an agreement, whether written or oral. Employers cannot withhold or refuse to pay commissions without cause, even after termination in many cases. Each state has specific rules regarding payment timing, deductions, and enforceability of commission agreements. If your employer has failed to pay your earned commissions, our firm can help you recover what you’re owed under the law.
