What happens to my benefits while I’m on special reasons leave?

All benefits remain unchanged while you are on special reasons leave (i.e., marriage, study).

How are my base salary and commissions calculated, if I am a commissionable employee, during paid special reasons leave?

For special leaves, all employees receive 100% of base salary, and commissions are calculated as per the individual’s sales compensation programme and based on bookings that occur during the leave duration. For full details on sales commissions, please refer to the sales compensation programme terms and conditions and the sales LOA FAQ at WWFO Sales Compensation and Territory Site.
