Well done Justin. Thanks for reminding me, that I should double check my commission payouts as deligiently as I check my grocery receipts, due to data trust issues...

Accuracy in sales commissions is pretty appalling and most companies don't do a very good job at it. Your company should be providing, at bare minimum, a summary compensation statement that matches earnings to paycheck with the ability to drill down into detail. If your company is struggling with accuracy pass these recommendations on to whomever owns the administration process -

1. Assess and optimize your compensation administration process

2. Put in place metrics to track accuracy by % of commissions paid and # of errors

3. Relentlessly drive errors out of the upstream data and other root causes

4. Minimize manual adjustments, data entry and hand offs through automation

Latest survey data shows over half less than 1 in 3 companies report achieving >99% accuracy which still isn't good enough.
