What is a Commission Draw Agreement?

A Commission Draw Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Canada that compensate sales personnel through a combination of recoverable draws and commissions. This document is typically used when an employer wishes to provide sales representatives with consistent income through regular draw payments while maintaining a commission-based compensation structure. The agreement details how draws are advanced, how commissions are calculated and reconciled against the draws, and the obligations of both parties. It ensures compliance with Canadian employment standards and tax regulations, while protecting both the employer's and employee's interests. The document is particularly important for industries with variable sales cycles or seasonal fluctuations, where regular draw payments help stabilize income for sales personnel while they build their sales pipeline.
