What are Commissions and Bonuses in the Workplace?

Commissions and bonuses are money your employer pays based on metrics related to your performance.

Commissions can come from sales figures, new business earned for the company, or other metrics your employer values.

Bonuses are extra financial rewards the company pays out, commonly based on above-and-beyond employee performance. They can add significantly to your remuneration package but should always be agreed upon when you first join an organization.

Sadly, many employers deny rightfully-earned bonuses if the employee leaves their position in any capacity. Cuadra Law is here to challenge these wrongs whenever employers make them. The money your workplace owes you is money you own. Let Edel Cuadra put his 20 years of legal experience towards ensuring you get paid what you deserve.
