Realty Co. Settles Employee’s Commission Claims for Nominal Amount of Demand

Court: Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles

A statewide realty company was sued by a former employee for labor code violations, wrongful termination and conversion. The former employee claimed he had not been paid all his commissions and he was constructively terminated for complaining to his supervisor about the company’s failure to pay him. Defense counsel’s aggressive discovery plan uncovered holes in the employee’s case and put the company in a position to settle the remaining claims for a relatively low amount.
