RE:Employment Addendum – GardenValley Chamber of Commerce
Beginning July 31, 2009, John is to be employed with the Garden Valley Chamber of Commerce at a base salary of $2,333.34 per month and additionally compensated for new Chamber membership salesand membership renewals. The commissions will be paid once a month at the same time the base salary is paid. The formula is based as follows:
Membership Renewals:
1st renewal:3% of the membership dollar amount
2nd renewal:2% of the membership dollar amount
3rd and beyond renewal:1% of the membership dollar amount
New Memberships:
1 to 29 New Memberships: 25% of the membership dollar amount
30 to 44 New Memberships:30% of the membership dollar amount
45 to 59 New Memberships:35% of the membership dollar amount
60 to 74 New Memberships:40% of the membership dollar amount
75 to 89 New Memberships:45% of the membership dollar amount
90 and over New Memberships:50% of the membership dollar amount
The new membership percentages return to 25% at the beginning of each year.
The Director of Membership and Retention and the Chamber President will jointly establish and agree to an annual sales quota and monthly sales quotas in addition to an annual goal for membership retention.
Membership incentives paid are based on dollars received by the Chamber, not pledged. This includes one-time, new member add fees. For members who opt for semi-annual payments, commissions shall be paid for the pay period based on actual dues payments received as opposed to the full value of the membership. The commission will only be paid if the individual is employed by the Chamber at the time the membership investment is received from the member.
A member is considered a member whether they sign up for semi-annual payments or for a full year and after the initial dues and fees are collected. There are no half year memberships, merely an opportunity to pay half up front. All membership sales are for one-year commitments.
An account that is past due 90 days or more is considered delinquent. A delinquent account is usually dropped from membership at 120 days delinquent and after due diligence is performed to keep the member and after the President has approved the drop. A delinquent account is considered a new member after being cancelled 6 months from the anniversary date of the date they first joined.
Grounds for termination include but are not limited to failure to meet sales quotas, falsification of paperwork and/or improper sales ethics. Chamber personnel within the State of Kansas are subject to employment-at-will.
The Chamber reserves the right to amend these guidelines including the commission schedule at appropriate times.
This agreement may be terminated by either party.
