In conclusion, while commission agreements can benefit both employer and employee, in California they require careful planning and attention to detail. They also require an agreement in writing, signed and acknowledged by the commission-earning employee.
Commission-only employees are typically independent contractors, meaning they provide work for a company as a non-employee. Independent contractors have to take care of their own taxes using a 1099 tax form provided by the employer and can acquire their own benefits such as health, dental or life insurance.
