Johnson v. Oracle America, Inc.

• Second Amended Complaint
• Court’s April 29, 2026, order granting our MSA

A lawsuit challenges three workplace practices affecting Oracle’s sales employees across California.

Secrecy surrounding Sales Comp: The lawsuit challenges Oracle’s confidentiality rules that require sales employees to refrain from discussing their compensation—including commission rates, bonuses, formulas, and pay structures. In April 2026, the Alameda County Superior Court issued a partial ruling in Plaintiff’s favor, finding that Oracle’s pay secrecy policies violated the Labor Code.

Mislabeling “Commission Pay”: The lawsuit also challenges Oracle’s practice of reporting advances on commissions and/or bonuses as “Commission Pay” on wage statements and otherwise failing to notify sales employees when their commissions are actually earned. In April 2026, the Alameda County Superior Court issued a partial ruling in Plaintiff’s favor, finding that Oracle’s wage statements violated the Labor Code for aggrieved employees paid by commission. The court has not yet ruled on whether the same violations apply for aggrieved employees paid by bonus.

Secrecy surrounding Working Conditions: The lawsuit also challenges Oracle’s confidentiality rules that require sales employees to refrain from discussing their working conditions. This issue has yet to be decided by the court.

Trial on the remaining issues is set for November 2, 2026.

• Did you work at Oracle in California from April 2021 to the present in one or more of these roles?
  • Account Executive
  • Inside Sales
  • Business Development / SDRs
  • Any quota‑carrying or commission‑eligible role

You do not need to still work at Oracle to participate. Former employees are welcome to share their experiences.

Have you ever felt discouraged from sharing:

• Your commission rate
• Your pay structure
• How your commissions or bonuses are calculated
• Your Individual Compensation Agreement (ICA) details
• Any part of the Sales Compensation Plan

If Oracle’s confidentiality rules made you feel like you couldn’t talk about compensation with coworkers, recruiters, or others, your experience is highly relevant.

We are also especially interested in hearing from you if you had experiences like these

• You thought that you earned the amount reported on my wage statements as “Commission Pay”, but later found out later that Oracle could take some of that money back.
• You could not tell by looking at your paystub how much commission you actually earned, and how much was a temporary advance.
• You could not tell when (or if) your commission advances were ever converted to earned commissions, so you could confidently save or spend that money.
• You had trouble reconciling your pay with Sales Credits, customer payments, or adjustments.

If you’ve ever felt confused about how to reconcile your paystub with your earned commission, your experience matters.
