Hi there​
I work in a sales role and i get paid not on sales but on Collections. So if sell 10K to Company X in Dec. and payment comes through i get paid on the 10K the month following. The MD has come out and said that when someone leaves the company they will only get paid on what they have collected by the date that they leave. If the Account is transferred over another Account Manger they don't receive commission on the collection either.

In sister companies the Account Manager gets paid on collections for 30 days after the date they leave, i have pointed this out to the MD but he just laughed.

I have never signed a contract with him.

I could loose out big time when i leave.

Thanks in advance

So if you're going to leave in a month's time, why would you bother making any sales for your last month?

People don't generally make the decision to leave on the day they're leaving. Maybe if you pointed out to your boss that you won't make any sales on your last month, because you wont get paid for them, they might change their policy.
 
Hi Someday,

Your employer is perfectly entitled to renumerate you on the amount you collected (rather than sold). Your replacement will have ensure that your sales convert to cash collected so they should get the reward.

Im moving this question to the careers/jobs section.

Excellent point, I knew someone who worked in a similar role once where they got paid a bonus (significant part of their overall salary) upto but not beyond a certain target every month.

After a while most of they got so good at it they'd hit the target half-way through each month and then do nothing for the rest of the month (Can't blame them though..)
 
I don't have a problem with getting paid on collections but nobody getting any of the Commission really gets my back up. Is there anything i can do ??
 
Hi Someday,

Are you (or any of your colleagues) a member of a Trade Union? This is what trade unions do quite well. Dont hold your breath though as this looks like a fairly trivial matter to me.
