The Commission Draw Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Germany that employ sales professionals on a commission-based compensation structure. This document is typically used when an employer wishes to provide a guaranteed minimum income (draw) while maintaining a performance-based commission system. It's particularly relevant for companies in industries with longer sales cycles or variable revenue patterns. The agreement must comply with German labor law requirements, including minimum wage regulations (MiLoG) and social security provisions. The document addresses key aspects such as draw amounts, commission calculations, reconciliation periods, and repayment terms, while ensuring compliance with both the German Commercial Code (HGB) and Civil Code (BGB). It's commonly used for new sales hires or when restructuring existing sales compensation arrangements.
