The Commission Employment Contract is a specialized employment agreement designed for use in Switzerland when engaging employees whose compensation includes a commission-based component. This document is essential for businesses operating in sales-driven environments where employee compensation is directly linked to performance and revenue generation. The contract must comply with Swiss employment law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (Articles 319-362) and relevant provisions concerning commission-based compensation. It addresses crucial aspects such as commission calculation methods, payment terms, minimum guaranteed income (if applicable), performance targets, and territory assignments. This type of contract is commonly used when hiring sales representatives, business development managers, real estate agents, and other professionals whose compensation is partially or fully based on commission structures.
