What is the name of your state? MO
I started a new job for a wireless company about 5 months ago. My official title was Store Manager. My actual job was a traveling manager. I would go to different stores to help out, run contests, observe, etc. So, my title is store manager, but since I go to all the stores, my sales quota was what my boss's quota was, however I recieved store manager payout. (Confused?) All of the stores sales went to fill my quota.
The company started selling home products in addition to wireless (DSL, Home Phone). As a store manager, for every DSL sold, the manager would get $10. IE, if the store sold 40 DSL in a month, the manager made an extra $400. Since all the stores (8 in total) rolled up to me, as a store manager (per title and pay grade), I made $10 on each the entire market sold. (IE, $1500-$2000).
This part of the pay had to be MANUALLY entered into the pay system as an adjustment, since the home sales side was different than the wireless. So, in addition to my normal commission, there would be a manual adjustment for the DSL sales.
A week ago, the auditors came in the market and started doing their thing. They now state that I should not have been paid the $10 per sale because all the stores roll up to me. I should only be paid $2.50 like my boss does. I now have $850 coming out of the next 6 commission checks to payback the company the $5000 they claim I was over-paid.
Is this legal, and is there anything I can do?
Thanks.
