Sales Commissions After Termination

If anyone could help me out with NY State Law here, or if anyone has any experience with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

I was terminated on November 1st and have a substantial amount of earned commissions due to me. My company has not denied this and said they would pay me, but on some shaky, uncertain times and over a lengthy period of time.

Is there a specific law that stipulates how and when a company has to pay earned commissions to employees they terminate?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hate to break it to you, but in my experience you're well and truly fucked. I don't think I've ever been paid past due commissions after being fired (and I've been fired A LOT). That is why you have a moral obligation to rape and pillage your former employer's clients at your next firm. Do everything in your power to fuck them out of ten times the amount they stiffed you.

 

There is a reason they gave you shaky, non specific information about when they'd pay you.
