Commission Agreement
(OH)

This template commission agreement provides a starting point for drafting commission agreements for sales personnel. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, alternate clauses, and optional clauses. This template is intended for private employers. It is based on Ohio and federal law. When drafting a commission agreement, you should pay particular attention to specifying when the employee earns the commission and at what point an employee's right to receive a commission ends.
