Louiseir,

There are no specific laws in Georgia concerning how a company deals with commissions. Unless you are under a specific employment contract, you are an at-will employee, and the terms of your employment are up to the employer. So long as they are not applied in a discriminatory manner (ie, because of race, religion, gender, national origin, or age). So, even though it has been a few years, they can still make the assesment so long as they apply the assesment equally across the company.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions. I hope this answer helps, even if it was not the answer you were looking for. Thank you for the opportunity to answer your question.

Take care
