So what?



The ethical thing is to pay the rep and not try to find "legal ways" to get out of paying.

Hey I'm just saying, you companies who keep trying to find ways to screw around with a man's renewal/reload compensation are only shooting yourselves in the foot.

This type of stuff just gets me ticked off because if you aren't paying guys a damn upfront base pay with benefits, then you should pay out commissions on renewals/reloads for the lifetime of the client like (most of you) state at the beginning of the relationship.

The new deal and renewal compensation are what independent, 100% commission, "we must pay for our own expenses", type of guys need in order to survive!

For example, do you know that some guys aren't even profitable until the renewal?
John, I think you misunderstood me. I'm not looking for ways not to pay out commissions, as I stated, my attorney advised me that I have no legal obligation to pay. However, I would like to pay and am not sure who to send funds to in this case...
