This structure is particularly common in sales jobs. Paying your staff a commission directly incentives their performance with the success of the business as a whole. It is therefore an effective way to align the interests of your employees with your business. This article will explain what you, as an employer, need to know about paying your staff commission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is a Commission-Based Payment Structure?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commission is a short-term performance-related pay structure model for your employees based on their job performance. It is therefore an incentive-based pay structure because their earnings depend on some key performance metric related to meeting key performance metrics including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">performance goals;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">KPI targets ;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sales; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">onboarding clients.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The commission rates you may decide to offer your employees differs between jobs. Jobs where commission-based payment structures standard include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sales;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/business-structures\/recruitment-business\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">recruitment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stockbrokers;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/business-structures\/estate-agency\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">estate agents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">; and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">account managers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why Pay Your Staff Commission?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under traditional compensation structures, employees are paid a fixed salary. However, where employees actively contribute to revenue generation, employers commonly add a commission feature to their employees\u2019 remuneration package. This is because doing so directly ties the interests of your employees with your business\u2019 performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many employees prefer commission-based payment structures because it gives them visibility on their earning potential. In many cases, commissions may be uncapped, which further incentivises performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are also disadvantages to commission-based payment structures. For example, if commission is tied to one particular metric, employees may neglect other aspects of their duties that do not directly contribute to this metric. This can impair your business in unexpected ways. For instance, employees may mislead customers in order to win a sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, commissions can result in unhealthy competition between staff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline bg-gray-800 rounded-t-xl\">\n    Continue

Common structures include:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Salary with commission<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A salary with a commission is a standard commission payment structure. It provides your employee with the security of guaranteed basic pay and the ability to earn more than this with the commission when they perform well, such as by making sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For instance, a base salary of \u00a330,000 plus 10% of any sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Straight commission\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Straight commission is where you pay your employees only based on their performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, they do not receive a basic salary. Instead, they usually receive a percentage of sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You must ensure that you do not violate any minimum wage regulations where you do not pay a fixed salary in addition to commission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b>Graduated pay commission<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Graduated pay commission is where your employees receive commission between them but based on their team\u2019s performance as a whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, your new employees may earn a 5% sales commission, but those who have been with you for longer may have a 15% sales commission.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Important Legal Considerations\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When determining your commission-based payment structure, you should consider if you wish to make it a term of their employment contract. Employees prefer this because the term contractually obligates you to honour any commission. In some industries, it is standard practice to include commission payments as part of the employment contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Employers tend to prefer commission structures that are non-obligatory. The downside is that this makes the role less attractive to high-performing applicants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, in all cases, you should ensure that the compensation structure is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">transparent;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">simple to understand; and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reasonably fair.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your business is in sales, commission payments are likely to suit your employees\u2019 job roles. Paying your staff commission can incentivise their performance at work and boost your business sales. However, adopting a commission structure requires careful thinking as to the type of commission you choose. You should also consider the disadvantages of commission structures. If you attach too much weight to a single metric, employees are likely to neglect other aspects of their role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help understanding commissions in England and Wales, our<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment-lawyers-lp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">experienced employment lawyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
