I was cheated of more than RM7K in commission due to me by this company. Before I resigned, I have helped the company secured a tender worth more than RM1 million. I got the customer's original PO, processed and accepted by the parent company in Europe. While tendering my resignation letter, I asked my immediate superior if I am still eligible for the commission and he said 'YES' because I deserve it. Based on gentlemen manner, I didn't asked for a black and white (its my mistake). However, the company's general practise of paying commission (not stated in the policy) is that, I can only tender my claim after the parent company in Europe had sent the item to us and we have invoiced the customer. That usually takes 3 to 4 months time.
When I finally knew of that the items already sent to customer, invoice already out and that customer had already paid, I tender my commission claim. I thought the money would come in handy as my mother is battling in the hospital with cancer (I've exhausted all my EPF fund account 3 then, and had to use credit card to pay for the bill).

My mother's 70th birthday in the hospital... My sisters, father and myself. I missed her so much now...*sobbing*
TO MY BIGGEST SURPRISED, THE COMPANY REJECTED MY CLAIM SAYING THE COMPANY POLICY STATED THAT ANY STAFFS RESIGNED BEFORE THE PAYMENT OF COMMISSION, ARE NO LONGER ENTITLED TO CLAIM!
I called my ex-immediate superior and to my horror, he denied ever saying "I can claim as I deserved it"!!! He suggested me to talk to the Finance Manager, which I did. Same old shit...cannot claim! I wrote a letter to the MD and he too rejected my claim (I still keep the email with me). I went back to check all my appointment letters, yearly increment letters, memos and employee handbook... none was written that a resignee cannot claim commission. I wrote back to the MD and ask to show proof which clause in the policy stated that and he decided to ignore me! I got so pissed off. Instead, my current employer and the generous colleagues had helped me raised more than RM10K to aid my mother's escallating bill. God blessed, I humbly but tearfully thank each and everyone of them for their kind heart...
Not long later my mother succumbed to her cancer and left us forever. I sent smses to the company to tell them my mother had passed away. While a handful of them replied with deepest condolence, no representative came to pay their last respect!!! Instead, my new employer sent representatives with condolences, flowers and even donated quite substantially.
With the passing of my ever loving mother, I decided to donate (with consent from my family) all extra money collected to the mother of one of my friend who is suffering from kidney failure.
God willing, my ex-company and those greedy satan, blood sucker, money demon... will be burned in hell forever!
