Ten former employees of a Singapore-based interior design firm have filed official reports regarding unpaid commissions they claim they are owed by their former employer. The group of interior designers alleges that the company failed to pay them proper commissions for their work, while the firm's director has challenged the amounts being claimed.
The affected interior designers came together on August 28 to publicly share their situation with members of the media. This gathering represents a coordinated effort by the former employees to bring attention to what they describe as unfair treatment regarding their compensation.
The dispute centers around commission payments that the designers say they earned through their work at the interior design firm but never received. These types of commission-based payment structures are common in the interior design industry, where employees often earn a percentage of project values or sales in addition to their base salaries.
The company's director has responded to the allegations by disputing the amounts that the former employees claim they are owed. This suggests there may be disagreements about how commissions should be calculated or what work qualifies for commission payments under the company's compensation structure.
The case highlights ongoing challenges in the interior design industry regarding fair compensation practices and the importance of clear employment agreements that specify how commission payments are calculated and distributed to employees.
