Commission: what to know
- Ask for the base salary and the OTE (on-target earnings) in writing, and how many reps hit target last year.
- If you are an employee, commission cannot leave you below the provincial minimum wage.
- Check when commission is paid, whether it is capped and what happens if a customer cancels.
- In your first months, a guaranteed draw or ramp period is a good sign.
