I worked in Tennessee for a company headquartered in Georgia.
I was hired 9 months ago when they opened a new sales office and signed an employment contract which states commission rate for 2001 and 2002 based on sales in the new territory. In December, we entered into an agreement with a third party for new product sales that should generate considerable revenue for 2002. Two weeks after the agreement was made (final contract not yet signed by home office), our sales office was closed and my job terminated. I feel the office was closed simply to prevent commission payments.
Do I have any recourse for receiving 2002 commissions based on contract signed in April 2001?
