Commentaries: Art. 349c

Where the commercial traveller through no fault of his own is prevented from travelling and his salary must nonetheless be paid to him by law or by contract, it is calculated on the basis of the fixed salary component plus appropriate compensation for loss of commission.
Where the commission makes up less than one-fifth of the salary, it may be agreed in writing that no compensation for loss of commission is owed to him should he be prevented from travelling through no fault of his own.
Where a commercial traveller who is prevented from travelling through no fault of his own receives his full salary, at the employer’s request he must carry out work on the business premises to the extent he is capable of such work and it may reasonably be required of him.
