skilled employment

This is what immigration have on their website:




What is skilled employment?
Skilled employment is employment that requires specialist, technical or management expertise.

If you have a job/job offer for skilled employment, it must be:
full time (on average, at least 30 hours per week)
for a position that is paid by salary or wages or in terms of a contract for service – payment by commission and/or retainer are not acceptable
be ongoing and sustainable.


My question is:

Anybody knows what "payment by commission and/or retainer" means??

Cheers

Here's what a retainer is. (They're referring mainly to lawyers, as they often use this system, but it can be for any worker.) http://biztaxlaw.about.com/od/glossa...ner_retain.htm

Payment by commission is when the worker gets a previously agreed percentage of money received by the employer for a job of work, or a sale. (Salesmen often work mainly or wholly on commission, so no sales=no earnings.)
