Incentive Compensation Attorneys

We Represent High-Performing Employees Nationwide

Compensating and incentivizing high-performing employees is critical to the success of many companies and organizations. That is why some employers offer incentive compensation to their employees like commissions, stock options, and deferred compensation to lure and retain high-level talent. Although the specifics of incentive compensation packages are detailed through a written agreement, the language contained in the agreement can sometimes be too vague or broad, making its enforceability questionable. When an employer fails to deliver on what is promised, a legal claim can arise.

We Handle a Broad Range of Incentive Compensation Disputes

Nichols Kaster, PLLP can assist if you believe your employer hasn't fulfilled their legal obligations regarding any of the following incentive compensation packages:

• Commissions and Bonuses: Although employers generally aren’t required by law to offer incentive compensation such as commissions or bonuses, they are required by many state laws and common law to pay what they promise. We proudly represent employees who were not paid the commissions or bonuses they earned.
• Stock Options: If you work for a company that provides stock options as part of your compensation package and you perform the work necessary to earn the options, then certain legal claims can arise if your employer refuses to pay out the options, or alters the payment after the work has been completed. The law prohibits employers from failing to provide stock options when they are promised or guaranteed to employees as part of their employment.
• Deferred Compensation: Employers can offer deferred compensation to employees, which is compensation that is earned now but paid at a later date. However, employers who offer deferred compensation must abide by their promises. If you believe that you have a claim for deferred compensation that your employer has refused to pay, then please contact Nichols Kaster, PLLP today to discuss your potential claims.
