When you say out if time, what’s the time frame period?

Generally 21 days after ending of employment.

Small claim is the way to go.

Ahhh commission payment post-termination — classic pay + spaghetti vibes 😬 Suddenly it’s not just “you earned it,” but contract clauses, timing, sales records, and Fair Work interpretations all doing the cha-cha 👀

Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: vague commission structures, informal promises, or “we’ll sort it later” vibes. Once payroll or legal gets involved, it’s a tangle of evidence, entitlement calculations, and compliance checks 😅

Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear documentation matters. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are clutch — formalised position descriptions, transparent commission frameworks, and compliance-aligned pipelines help ensure post-termination payments are crystal-clear from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where grants, funding, and performance metrics can get… messy 😬

Anyway, loving this convo — commission payment post-termination nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
