  • Claw back commission from salary - Is there a law on this?

    Hi All,

    My employer has re jigged our commission structure (in their favour of course) and there's a bit in their that I don't think is legal. I sell advertising in case this influences anything.

    They've basically said that they will take commission clawback from our salary if there is no commission to be paid.

    I seem to remember being told a while ago that commission can only be clawed back from commission payments and not from salary. Is this correct? Is this actually the law? Where can I find this in writing so that I can provide my company with a copy?

    Many thanks,

    StressHead

    Hi Stresshead,
