Job Support Scheme - Commission

911bill

Hi All,

I can’t seem to find any information on this topic, while on furlough which I am still on, well, I am working 3 days a week and on “flexible furlough”. I am only being paid my basic, I haven’t been paid my commission as it is not contractual, however, I have been told I will be paid what I would have got during the furlough period once things return to normal. 

So, I have yet to be told but the suspicion amoung those of us working is that we will switch to the Job support scheme. 

Does anyone know if commission can be paid while on this scheme? 

Thanks!

Taken from the government's latest factsheet - sounds as if the detail has yet to be announced:

• “Usual wages” calculations will follow a similar methodology as for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Full details will be set out in guidance shortly. Employees who have previously been furloughed, will have their underlying usual pay and/or hours used to calculate usual wages, not the amount they were paid whilst on furlough.
