You closed the deal. Can you still find the plan that says what it pays?
The plan is handed over once, usually on day one. Your employer keeps every version. This is where you keep yours.

Where the money goes missing
You close the deal on a handshake plan and trust the paperwork to follow. Sometimes it doesn't: the deal never appears on a statement, it's paid below your tier, it's clawed back months later, or its close date quietly slides into the next period so it misses the threshold. Each one is easy to wave away on its own — and hard to argue without a record.
Never appeared
Closed and invoiced, but absent from every statement.
Paid below tier
Paid at a lower rate than the plan you'd earned.
Clawed back
Commission taken back months after you earned it.
Close date moved
A signed order re-dated into the next period.
Moving targets
Quotas or rates that shift once you're close.
Base pay games
A base shorted alongside the commission itself.
$4,420
Example from the demo case
In the demo case, two disputed deals — one that never appeared, one paid at 3% instead of the agreed 5% — come to an apparent $4,420 short. Not a typical or promised result.
What you get
A dated record you build over time — and a report you can save as a PDF or download as a Word (.docx) document to hand over.
Every deal you closed, lined up against what the statement paid.
Shorted, unpaid and clawed-back commission gathered into one dated record.
One organized report to take to the Department of Labor, a union, or a lawyer — saved as a PDF or a Word (.docx) file.
Any figure is an apparent shortfall based on your own records — arithmetic on the hours and pay you logged, not a legal determination. Whether any of it is owed is a question for the U.S. Department of Labor or an attorney.
Sound familiar?
“I closed the deal but it never showed up on a statement.”
Log each deal as it closes — value, your share, the PO — and check it against the statement. A deal that never appears is obvious the moment your record sits beside theirs.
“They paid me below my tier and I can't prove what I was owed.”
Record the deal value and your plan's terms at the time. Where the plan is silent, note that too — the gaps are part of the record, not a reason to give up.
