i need legal advice.....
i worked for a fortune 200 insurance company....
i had passed all the tests required by the state to sell insurance. the company put me to work, and submitted my license results to the state insurance department. in that week i had sold $8600 in insurance for the company that equals $1800 (approx) in comissions. then tragedy struck.... the jerk that submitted the paperwork neglected to write the word "life" when submitting the form (should have been "life, accident and health".... not "accident, health") his neglect of this had cause the paperwork to be denied then corrected then faxed back.... this took until the following monday. as a result the company refuses to pay me the $1800 in comissions because i "was not an employee technically therefore they do not owe me comissions".... even though if that one jerk guy that submits the paperwork just wrote the word "life" all would be perfectly fine... (i would had docked the 1800 from him to cover the loss to the employee and/or fired his ass for that mistake had i been the boss) but they kept the $8600 in insurance that i sold on the books. so my question is if i sold $8600 for the company, wouldn't they have to pay me the comissions.... or if they couldnt/wouldnt pay me comissions, would they HAVE to return the premiums collected on that insurance? im considering a lawsuit i just dont know if i have grounds. it cost me 1800 in comissions, plus expenses, and as a result i left the job forcing me to find a new job. im guessing that because it one of the top 200 companies on the planet ($1.6 billion) they would settle. basically they made a free $8600 and didnt have to pay anyone for the work done to get it. what is your opinion?????

The policies you "sold" are not legally binding, as you were not legally entitled to "sell" them at the time. You should remind your company of this, as the "buyers" could legally sue them for misrepresentation - i.e., they thought they were buying from a licensed agent, when, in fact, they weren't. This would allow you to re-do the paperwork - with dates consistent with you actually having your license.
Hope this helps. -Bill
