What is a commission agreement?
A commission agreement defines how a salesperson, agent, or referral partner earns and receives payment. It specifies the commission structure, rates, and timing so both sides agree on the math in advance. Documenting these terms prevents later disputes about who is owed what and when payment is due.
What should a commission agreement include?
It should state the commission rate or structure, what triggers payment, and the payment schedule. Common additions include territory, quotas, draws against commission, clawback conditions, and how the agreement ends. Defining how commissions are calculated on returns or cancellations keeps expectations clear for both the company and the earner.
What is the difference between straight commission and salary-plus-commission?
Straight commission pays the earner only from sales, with no base salary, offering high upside but variable income. Salary-plus-commission combines a fixed base wage with commission on sales, providing steadier income plus incentive. The choice affects risk, motivation, and how the agreement defines targets and payment terms.
