Commission Rights as Self Employed

[JoY]

We now have nearly 300 members.
Is there anyone who can find out about our rights regarding commission?

I can't accept that Hillarys are legally allowed to take back, or reduce, our commission when a customer has been given a refund or discount due to Hillarys mistakes.

I know this has been raised many times... but without results. We had a vague answer from Mellisa, that she doesn't really know the legal side of it.

If she doesn't know, then WE need to find out ourselves.

I am answering my own question I think...

"The Sale & Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002 " states that if commission is paid on sales achieved, then Hillarys cannot reclaim any commission if a discount is given "due to a problem of their making".

Seems clear enough.....

Where do we go from here.

I have asked my FSM, and am waiting for a response.

Hi JoynMik i'm waiting for a response from a couple of law bodies on the commission clawback issue. As soon as i find out where we stand legally i will post on here for all to see.

I have asked questions too.... and been told it is illegal to claw back the money when the fault was not of our making. Hillarys are probably trying to find a loophole... lets hope they don't or we will maybe have to think again about what we can do...

ive wondered if we set up a fund say pound a week and we could use it for this type of thing joy would have to be an elected body in charge but it could work
