Last year I got promoted to a senior role with a 10% base increase. I'm also comped on the sales I bring so I get a certain percentage as a part of an incentive plan on top of my base salary.

I just put my two weeks notice as I got a job offer that doubles my TC. I'm supposed to get the 2021 incentive payment sometime this month.
When I asked about the payment timeline, HR said that my incentive plan was terminated when I received the promotion last year!!! I wasn't notified of this neither in writing nor verbally. I've been working my butt off to make more sales as I'm incentivized on the $ amount I bring. If I knew this was the case my year would've been very different.

What options do I have? I don't have anything in writing about the incentive plan termination or the promotion. Not sure if I have a leg to stand on.

My incentive payment is typically more than 10% of the base salary. So a 10% promotion with no incentive was really a pay cut. I feel so mad and taken advantage of. Help!
