Commission upon cessation of employment

[Mariza_dim]

Hello,

 

I work as a recruitment consultant and I get target based commission along with my basic pay. In our staff manual it states that Employees who resign are not due any commission following their last commission payment

 

Say commission is payable on 29th April 2016 and I hand in my notice on 1st April 2016 (notice period is 1 month). Will I still be payed the commission due on 29th April, as I will technically still be working my notice or not?

 

Thank you for your help.

Your last commission payment will be classed as your last payday. Do you get commission on the same day as your normal pay.

Also welcome to CAG Mariza

Yes, I do.

 

So just to be clear, I would get the commission on the 29th as that would be the last day of my notice period and last payday?

 

Thanks!

It sounds like its applicable to after you leave the company subject to your last payday. But do you not have a HR team you can contact?

Unfortunately not. Thanks anyway.

Welcome to CAG. The manual is ambiguously drafted, but my reading is that you would not be entitled to any commission once you have resigned (so if you had accrued but not yet been paid commission prior to resigning, that commission would not be paid).

generally you lose the month's commission so you should get March's but not April's. Usually commission is paid a month in arrears otherwise they wouldnt be able to calculate it.
