Commissions - Sales Representatives
Troy ● Detroit Michigan Unpaid Sales Commission Defense Attorneys 
Our Office Has Saved Companies Millions of Dollars
Contracts between independent sales representatives, suppliers, and manufacturers are not always written or clear as they should be. As a result, sales reps may pursue litigation to recover damages under the terms of MCLA 600.2961, the "Michigan Sales Representatives Commission Act (SRCA)." Under the SRCA, manufacturers can be held liable for twice the amount of an unpaid commission or up to $100,000, whichever is less. Under the terms of the SRCA, manufacturers must not only pay the value of a commission but twice the amount of its original value. As a result, an unpaid commission of $30,000 could cost a supplier or manufacturer $90,000: $30,000 for the original amount, and $60,000 for double the amount of the commission's original value. At the law office of Stark Reagan, our attorneys advise and represent manufacturers and suppliers in unpaid sales commission disputes.

How Sales Commission Disputes Arise
The exact terms of what will be paid for, how much, and when are not always understood in the same way by the parties to a contract. Our attorneys review part inventories, emails, and established practices between a supplier or manufacturer and a sales representative. It's important to remember that under the SRCA, liability for commission payment can be a function of established practices between a sales rep and a company. As a result, unchallenged claims regarding payment or the specifics of a sales agreement, could be interpreted in favor of a sales representative.
Minimizing Problems - Resolving Unpaid Sales Commission Disputes
While we're prepared to go to court and defend manufacturers and suppliers, negotiation or mediation may be the most cost-effective way to settle a dispute in a timely manner. Depending on the circumstances involved, it may be possible to resolve a sales commission dispute for an amount significantly less than the amount claimed by a sales representative.
