Back to work & sales commission

Hi 
Hope your well...and looking for some help / advice 
I was on furlough from 1st April and returned back to work 29th June.
My employer have appeared to topped up my wage during furlough to the max available  (£2,500 per month) which is over my monthly basic so can only assume they have worked this out on previous monthly earning with commission which is generally over this amount .
My question is that as my commission is worked in arrears - (basically orders delivered month one gets paid end of month two) - with orders being supplied throughout the month of March which would be paid end of April - would this be payable end of this month as I’ve returned to work or can they not pay the commission due to furlough wage ?

    It will depend on your contract of employment, but if you earned it, it should have been paid as normal, at the end of April.

    you should check that your employer hasn't changed their policies around commission.
    My work pays a bonus quarterly depending on sales but has halved the payments due to the uncertainty at the moment.
