He told me yesterday that he had obtained an attorney and they have been letting the company hang themselves. Said he would be filing suit after the first of the year. Should get interesting.



What would be the basis for a lawsuit? Unless they are breaching a contract aren't companies still allowed to dictate pay and employees are free to leave if they don't like the compensation? I don't agree with cutting commissions but am trying to understand where the company could be held legally liable unless they breached a contract.

Cutting just his would be my guess.



Correct. They have spelled out in writing, in the procedure manual, how our positions are paid. They changed just his 6-8 months ago apparently.
