If the sales person is paid commission then commission should NEVER be paid until customer's payment is collected. Any sales person that doesn't understand this is either a Newbie or you do not want them. In my 20+ years of owning businesses and designing and writing payroll systems for some major corporations this is the way it always works. You could also have payments made on a draw.
