Failure to pay commissions
Your employer has breached the contract. A unilateral mistake by the employer is not a defense. Breach of oral contract has a 4 year statute of limitations. Commissions arte somtimes considered wages for purposes of the wages owed act, which would also require the employer to pay your legal fees. That stutate has a much shorter limitations--two years. Even though the law gives you time to pursue this claim, it is rarely advisable to wait. Memories fade, witnesses move or die, key documents are discarded and so on.
