Pricing Errors and Margin Erosion

Hohe Verwaltungsaufwände durch manuelle Provisionsabrechnungen
Logic-based estimate: If a retailer has one payroll/finance staff member spending 8–10 hours per fortnight on commission exports, spreadsheet calculations and investigations at an effective fully-loaded cost of AUD 60 per hour, the annual direct labour cost is around AUD 12,500–15,000. For a national chain where 2–3 staff are involved, this scales to approximately AUD 25,000–45,000 per year, plus an additional 5–10 hours per month of store manager time (say AUD 80/hour) resolving disputes, adding another AUD 4,800–9,600 annually. A realistic cost band is AUD 20,000–60,000 per year for a mid‑sized chain.
Strafzahlungen wegen fehlerhafter Provisionsabrechnung und Unterschreitung des Mindestlohns
Logic-based estimate: For a 20‑person sales team in a fashion retail chain, underpaying an average of AUD 50 per week per employee due to commission/minimum-wage mis‑alignment over 2 years equates to about AUD 104,000 in back‑pay, plus potential civil penalties often ranging from AUD 20,000 to AUD 100,000+ per proceeding, giving a plausible exposure band of AUD 120,000–200,000 per Fair Work matter.
Unerwartete Provisionskosten durch falsch designte Provisionsmodelle
Logic-based estimate: For a fashion retailer with AUD 10 million annual revenue and a 50% gross margin, an over‑generous revenue-based commission plan that is misaligned with margin by just 1–1.5 percentage points of sales equates to AUD 100,000–150,000 per year in excess commission expense.
