If your employer fails to pay your agreed-upon commissions, you may have a claim against them. Commissions are considered wages under the South Carolina Payment of Wages Act, S.C. Code Ann § 41-10-10, et seq.
In addition to recovering the commissions your employer withheld, you may be able to recover three times the amount owed. If you believe you are entitled to unpaid commissions, it is helpful to have documentation that outlines your commission agreement with your employer, such as an offer letter, employee handbook, email, or even a text message.
