When someone is terminated from their employment without adequate notice and hires a lawyer to negotiate a better package, it is usually quite a simple thing for the employer and employee to agree what the monthly income was. Clearly, where a salary makes up most of the remuneration, the monthly income is simply a mathematical calculation. A judge awarding damages for lack of adequate notice will attempt to put the employee in the same position she would have been in if she had received proper notice. That exercise becomes a little bit tricky, however, when a significant part of the employee=s pay was made up of commission.
