My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Michigan
Im preparing to leave a job I have been at 21 years in sales. Its 100% commissioned sales.
Our sales manager left back in July and I have been filling in since.
As I prepare to leave I have a question in regards to the company liability to me for doing the Sales Manager job for the last 5+ months while maintaining my own sales job as well.
On July 16 when the old sales manager was fired they asked me to handle things. This is the 3rd time in the last 7 years since this company owned us that I have been asked to fill in. This time about day 3 the VP of Michigan in a sales meeting referred to me as the “interim sales manager” and told everyone to see me with any needs since he is not in this office. Since I have performed 99% of all duties a sales manager does on top of my daily sales duties. I did the job for the last 5+ months, accomplishing everything that wanted and kind of stabilizing the ship. I handled 100’s of emails(all of which I forwarded to my personal email for records), I handled sales meetings, weekly reports, assisted with reps issues, planned all 2018 budgets for all reps, etc, etc
I did it so well that they offered me the job. Based on the salary and commission they are offering, those 5 months would be worth about $55,000 but they have no plans of paying me for it. Based on the fact that they gave the name “interim sales manager” to versus just saying “hey, if need any help ask ___” seems to leave a bit of liability to pay for services I provided. As of today they are offering to pay me nothing for that time and effort.
There was never anything promised. I think stepping up to help for a short time is one thing but taking on a 2nd full time job for 5 months is out of line. Surely all companies have staff shuffle work around when people leave the company, thats normal but there has to be a limit to that.
Surely its one of the reasons Im leaving shortly but the questions stands to if they are liable for it?
