Your only real option or recourse if you are not receiving all the commissions you believe you are owed is to sue for breach of contract--for violation of the agreement (whether oral or written) pursuant to which you worked in exchange for a commission. In the course of that litigation, there are legal tools (called "discovery") you can use to get documentation and/or they will have to produce documentation of the commission plan at trial. There is no other mechanism, unfortunately, to get the document(s) if they won't voluntarily provide them or voluntarily pay the full commissions other than a lawsuit.
