Red Face Do they owe me my commission check??

i am looking to change jobs but i will not get my commission check until a 2 weeks after i leave.

on our compensation plan this year they tossed in you must be employed at time of payment and you can not be a resignation period.

My employer is in NYC and I live and work in Texas

will they have to pay me?
Texas law I found:
Texas Labor Code § 61.015. PAYMENT OF COMMISSIONS AND BONUSES.

(a) Wages paid on commissions and bonuses are due according to the terms of:
(1) an agreement between the employee and employer;
or
(2) an applicable collective bargaining agreement.
(b) An employer shall pay wages paid on commissions and
bonuses to an employee in a timely manner as required for the
payment of other wages under this chapter.

If you earned the commission they have to pay; they cannot hold back just because you are leaving. You may sue in small claims if need be.
