What do Commission Wages Mean?
Commissions are the percentage of amount emerged from the sale of any of the product or service. Being an employee, if you are involved in the sale process of the product or services then you have the right of receiving the commission from its sale. Both the employee and employer make agreements for the commission part but there are laws if any deductions are made against commissions.
What is the commission wage law?
If an employer fires an employee from the job, he or she can still receive commissions after that. In simple words, if the sale is secured, the employer cannot avoid payment by terminating the employee. If an employ quits by itself, he or she may earn commissions which depend on the remaining work for the sale completion. In case the contact is all clear and the significant work needs to be done, then as the employee has quit the job without finishing, he or she will not get the commissions.
Deductions by Employers
Though commissions are a part of the employer & employee’s agreement, it is based on the gross sale or net sale amount. The employer can’t deduct its working cost from the commissions or any other plan which the employee is receiving. He even can’t deduct the damage cost or return cost of products from the commissions.
