Add Comment Question: Can an employer change the Rate of commissions payment on existing ongoing Subscription Sales? Answer: An employer can make changes to rates of commissions; however, the employer must be mindful of the fact that a change in compensation without the consent of the employee could trigger a constructive dismissal of their employment, potentially triggering severance entitlements. Whenever an employer wishes to make a change to the existing terms and conditions of an employee's entitlements it is a good idea to speak with an employment lawyer first to discuss the best way to go about making the change to prevent potential constructive dismissal claims.
