Certified question. The Second Circuit has certified some more questions to the New York State Court of Appeals. The questions are:

Whether an '"Executive" is an "employee" under Labor Law, Article 6, section 193 and entitled to the protections of that statute?

In the absence of a governing written agreement, when are commissions "earned" and therefore considered "wages" under sections 191 and 193 thereby rendering most subsequent deductions unlawful?

The decision in Pacter v. Bernard Hodes Group, Inc. can be found here.
