How are bonuses and commissions handled in Australia?

Employers are not required to offer bonuses to employees, nor is it expected. However, certain industries may have a history of annual bonuses or commission-based bonuses. 


If you wish to offer any other bonuses to your employees, you should clearly articulate the details in the employment contract to avoid any confusion. Your local PEO can help you administer any bonuses to your employees and provide guidance to help you comply with Australian labor law rules for commission and other payments.
