Didn’t Get Paid A Commission? Texas Has A Law For That!

Businesses often treat independent sales reps and contractors as the last bill to be paid at the end of the month. Too often, contractors are expected to meet tight deadlines and quality demands, but must struggle to get paid on time. The good news is that Texas has a law against cheating contractors out of their fair pay.

Win Three Times The Amount Of Money You Are Owed For Unpaid Commissions

By Texas labor law statute, you may be able to treble (triple) the amount of money you are owed if the courts determine that the business has deliberately withheld your commissions or reduced the amount of money you are owed.
