Case ID: 2710 | Employment | 12/29/2004
The class has been certified in a California class action filed against web hosting company Verio, Inc., on behalf of commissioned inside telephone salespersons who allege that the company compels them to return commissions on failed accounts in violation of California unfair business practices and labor laws. The action seeks a return of all commissions wrongfully taken from August 16, 1998, to the date of any eventual judgment in the action.
The action alleges that Verio routinely forces its salespeople to pay back commissions on accounts that are canceled before three months. Allegedly, Verio policy states that commissions are not earned until after three months of monthly recurring revenue payments have been received, but Verio begins paying commissions before three months have passed. Any chargebacks come out of the employees' wages in the next month. California law states that the collection of wages previously paid is unlawful. Compelling employees to pay back through a reduction of future wages has already been settled as an illegal action in the California courts, under circumstances where the employee has no control over the loss of payment to the company.
