My company pays me salary plus monthly incentive based on monthly gross profit and revenue .

The structure is already extremely confusing , but the meat of my question is , do those that get a monthly commission check also typically get a commission report that breaks down your commission for the month ?

To date , I have just been getting a check , not knowing if it's a true reflection of sales for that month .

I have for every commissioned sales job that I've had. If it hasn't been on one commission report then it's been part of the order paperwork for each sale.

Yeah, you should be getting some kind of report or statement. otherwise, how do you (and the company) know it is correct?

When I worked for a draw vs commission I received a copy of the invoice for every product shipped to any of my customers.

I've been here 5 years and woke up last Friday of the month with a commission check in the bank not knowing how that number was reached . My pay stub just shows commission minus taxes .. so I figured after 5 years maybe I should ask questions.

Do I have a legal case in the matter ?

So, this has been going on for five years and you're just now starting to question it?

Try to get the paperwork first. Say something like you are working with a financial planner or something and need to answer some of his questions.

"Do I have a legal case in the matter ?"

For what? The company doesn't have to provide you with anything. When people feel like they aren't being treated fairly they find another job. The company can set up the commission structure any way they want. I'm on my 4th. one with the company I work for.

But yes after being in sales 30 years I would expect one.
