Governor Brown Signs AB 2675
October 08, 2012
AB 2675 has been signed into law, amending Labor Code § 2751 regarding written commission agreements.
Existing law requires that whenever an employer enters into a contract of employment with an employee for services to be rendered within California, and the contemplated method of payment of the employee involves commissions, the contract must be in writing and must set forth the method by which the commissions are to be computed and paid. This bill would exempt from this requirement temporary, variable incentive payments that increase, but do not decrease, payment under the written contract.

This is a great update to California law. Employers and employees fight over commissions all the time. This will decrease conflict and increase employee protection.
