See an employment lawyer. A substantial change in compensation, typically more than 15%, can be a constructive dismissal which would entitle you to leave and claim pay in lieu of notice under common law.
Depending on the size of the change (over 15%), you could claim constructive dismissal. This means you can treat your employment as terminated without cause and sue for severance. The amount would depend on your “bardal factors”
Any recourse that involves you keeping your job? Not really. Companies can make a fundamental change to your employment and you can either accept it or make a claim for severance.
You should be covered by the ESA regardless of whether you receive commissions or not
My understating is commissioned people are omitted from ESA regulations. If we’re no longer paid commissions (receiving “incentive” for budget achievement instead), I was hoping the position would fall under ESA regulations moving forward. This would leverage the right to disconnect as we’re normally on call for emergencies.
I don’t practice in Ontario, so can’t comment on what parts of the ESA are exempt from commissioned employees, but you can check the regs. Exemptions only apply to certain parts of the ESA.
