Which represents lawful brokerage firm practice?

Removing earned commission after 60 days violates California's prompt payment requirements. Commissions must be paid promptly upon collection, not held arbitrarily. This creates unnecessary risk to the agent's compensation and potential liability for the brokerage firm.

Supervising independent contractors as employees misclassifies their status, violating labor laws and potentially exposing the firm to penalties, back taxes, and liability. Independent contractors have specific legal status that differs from employees.

Steering is illegal under fair housing laws as it involves directing buyers or renters to or from certain neighborhoods based on protected characteristics. This constitutes discrimination and violates California's Unruh Civil Rights Act.
