Document background
The Sales Employment Contract serves as a crucial legal document for companies operating in the Philippines who wish to hire sales professionals. This contract type is specifically designed to address the unique aspects of sales roles, including commission structures, performance metrics, and territory assignments, while ensuring full compliance with Philippine labor laws and regulations. It should be used when hiring any sales professional, from entry-level sales representatives to senior sales managers, and must incorporate mandatory requirements under the Philippine Labor Code, including statutory benefits and worker protections. The document typically includes detailed commission structures, sales targets, and performance evaluation criteria, making it distinct from standard employment contracts. It's particularly important in industries where sales form a core business function and where clear metrics and territory definitions are essential for successful employment relationships.
