Lack of Commitment
Being paid on a percentage-based commission structure can also give employees the idea that their employer is not committed to them for the long haul. The idea behind a percentage-based compensation structure is that it rewards employees directly for performance. If employees do not perform, they do not earn. In this environment, employers often have high turnover because they are constantly looking for employees who can perform. When your business has high turnover, your employees may never feel safe and their performance could suffer.
