Simple questions deserve simple answers. Unfortunately, in the case of employee departure policies, the question stated above is not as simple as it appears. Like much in law, it depends on the facts, and different facts sometimes mandate different outcomes. And, when an employee who works in exchange for bonuses and/or commissions is terminated before payment, the cases answering the question “what happens?” offer different answers. The goal is to find a case which gives the answer you want to your questions and then argue that your situation is more like that case than the cases giving the opposite answer.
