Misogynistic Ceo And Unpaid Commissions – Seeking Legal Advice After Leaving Job (ut)
I’m in a bit of a predicament and could use some advice. I recently left my job at a fintech company in Utah where I was one of their top salespeople. We consistently hit our targets, but the company is now refusing to pay out the commissions we’ve earned. I’m not the only one who experienced this. Two of my colleagues, both women like myself, also left due to similar issues. We quit because of a combination of misogynistic comments from the CEO, a generally toxic work environment, and the same issue of not being paid what we were owed. The CEO uses his religious beliefs to mask his toxicity against women.
The toxic environment included things like dismissive comments during meetings, sexist jokes, and excluding women from important decisions. It made the workplace really hostile and demoralizing.
I’ve tried reaching out to HR, but they weren’t helpful and seemed to side with upper management. Now that I’ve left, I’m unsure of my options. I’ve documented all my sales and the commissions I’m owed, but I don’t know the best next step to actually get what I’m rightfully due. It feels like they’re banking on us just giving up and leaving without a fight.
What are the best legal steps I can take to ensure I get paid my earned commissions? Are there any specific laws or regulations in Utah that protect workers in this kind of situation? I’m also worried about potential retaliation if I take any action. Any advice or similar experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
