Is this legal/legitimate?

My company is implementing a new policy that says if we can't secure a PO from our deals within 2 weeks of signature they will literally pay us nothing for incentive, it just goes POOF, right to them.


Is this even legal?

Legal? Probably.

Unethical? Definitely.

Workaround - cancel the order and have them re-sign the order along with the PO.

This is the answer right here, or include the PO with the signature in the contract or MSA. That was my workaround.

My old company the customer had to check a box if PO was required or not. If it was previously documented that it was required and it wasn’t provided SOPs wouldn’t convert the deal.

We have that box now, love it. Bypass that PO when it’s not necessary.

What a horrible move. Letting you wait until PO ok. But no commish is BS

Legal - yes it’s a policy that’s internal to each company but it’s too much.
We have an option to move with the signed order form too
