Ramped new hire
Tiered commission with a recoverable draw for the first six months.
Worked example
A new rep earning $2,000 against a $4,000 draw is topped up to $4,000; the $2,000 shortfall is recovered from later months.
The plan definition
This is the plan exactly as the product would create it. Rates are decimal strings rather than numbers throughout, because binary floating point cannot represent most of them exactly and a commission rate is not a place to discover that.
