Its been a while since I posted on here but Im currently going through something with my company and I thought Id put my situation down and see if maybe someone else went though something similiar, and if so what they did about it.
Last year they put out a new commision plan that makes it so if we hit our total goal for a quater (three month period) then we get our commision bonus which is $2800. This applied for the last three quarters of the year and then at the end of the year we get a $3600 bonus if we made our goal.
How this is setup is at our particular store that we are assigned to we have a base monthly goal. Our new business that we bring in goes to this amount to determine if we hit our bonus or not.
During this past year I was travelling between many stores in the state filling in because we had a drastic low amount of agents. I literally worked at close to 12 stores through out the year.
Anyway so as a goal was setup for my home store, I would almost never be there because I was filling in for other stores.
So here the end of the year comes around and I find out that I was the highest producing agent in the entire state, which then qualified me for a 4 day trip to Florida this coming May. According to the companies numbers I had hit 128% of my total goal for the year and was the only person who even came within qualifying numbers for the trip.
So I began to think back on the prior year and realized this.
How can I excell at 128% OVER the total year goal but I didnt make my individual quarter goals?
The only way I could have made a monster percentage like that is if I had made every single quarter and then some.
So I send an email to my manage in regards to this, which was last Monday, and still I have heard nothing back on this.
This total amount comes to roughly $12,000 that should have been paid out to me through out the year because of the indiviual numbers that I put out.
Example: My home store is Thomas, and the goal for myself is 50k, I only end up working there half the month becuase I am sent to South Central for the second half to fill in.
(We were told that anything we do at other stores goes to our goal, just found out that is not true.)
So there is literally no possible way that I could ever make my goal, as the money I brought in at the other stores actually went towards the goal of the people who were currently working there o.O".
I was the only person in the state that was moving around like this and I wasnt even compensated for the extra gas money that I was paying out to help the company.
I am already planning on moving from this company because I feel decieved and literally like they screwed me.
Right now I do not have an answer from them, but I think its not going to be in my favor. I have even been thinking of hiring a lawyer.
