Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the reduction of commission from 1.5% to 0.7% became binding by implied consent despite no signed amendment
Decisione estratta
Yes. The employee’s prolonged silence and continued acceptance of the reduced payments, while knowing the employer understood him to agree, amounted to implied consent; no enforceable claim for higher commissions arose.
Motivazione estratta
Even if the employee feared dismissal, he had to object within a reasonable time once he recognized the employer’s expectation of consent. By letting the employer rely on his silence, he created the appearance of acceptance. The court therefore did not need to decide whether a written-form reservation existed, because any such reservation would in any event have been waived through long-term performance.
