Sales commission contracts vary widely from industry to industry and within the individual employer/employee relationship. In disputes over commissions owed in the event of a commissioned sales representative’s termination or departure, non-specific or ambiguous contracts can be disastrous to the employer.

According to the Michigan Sales Representative Commission Act, unpaid commissions owed to a sales rep can result in triple damages, plus attorney fees.
