Paid on the install.
100% commission on completed installs, paid in full on the payday we’re paid for them, as a 1099 contractor. Below is the whole path from the door to the deposit, including the part where a sale can come back.
The structure
Four terms. That’s it.
We tell you all four on day one.
Commission only
No base. No draw.
Every check is built from installs you closed. Slow week, small check. That’s the deal, and we say it before you sign anything.
Paid in full
Paid on the install.
You’re paid as soon as we’re paid for the install, and the check carries 100% of the commission. No holdback, no reserve.
1099
Taxes are on you.
You’re an independent contractor. You get a year-end 1099 and handle estimated quarterlies yourself. Gas and food in your home market are yours too, and many of those costs are deductible.
Team leaders
Override on your crew.
Build a team and you earn an override on every install your reps close, on top of your own. The rungs are named on the homepage.
Door to deposit
Where the money moves.
The sale starts it. The install date sets the pay.
The sale
You close at the door. Fiber is a bill they already pay. Twenty-minute close.
The install
The network operator schedules the install and a tech connects the home. That’s when commission is earned.
Payday
Paydays vary by provider and market. You get yours in writing before you start.
The deposit
Your full commission goes out that payday, with nothing held back, and the statement lands in your portal.
Your portal shows each install and each pay statement as it lands. Nobody texts a manager to find out what they’re owed.
The 120-day window
When a sale comes back.
If a T-Mobile fiber customer cancels within 120 days of the install, the commission on that one sale reverses. It comes off your next check. It’s not a separate bill.
After 120 days the sale is locked. You hear the window on day one, so it never shows up as a surprise.
Is there a base salary or a draw?
No. Pay is 100% commission on completed installs. The trade-off is plain: your work decides the number on the check.
When is commission earned?
When the install completes. A signed order that never installs pays nothing, which is why the install date matters more than the sale date.
How long until my first deposit?
Paydays vary by provider and market, and you get yours in writing before you start. Your first deposit lands on the first payday after we’re paid for your first install.
Do you hold back part of my commission?
No. Every check carries 100% of the commission on the installs it covers, and nothing is held in reserve. The only thing that comes back is a sale the customer cancels inside the cancellation window, which is 120 days on T-Mobile fiber.
What happens if a customer cancels?
T-Mobile fiber carries a 120-day window. If the customer cancels within 120 days of the install, the commission on that one sale comes off your next check. After 120 days it is locked.
Where do I see what I am owed?
In your rep portal. It shows your installs, your pipeline and a pay statement for every payday, updated as installs land.
Chargebacks
What is a commission chargeback?
A commission chargeback is commission you were already paid that comes back out of your pay because the customer canceled within a set window after the sale.
You’ll also hear it called a clawback. Most commission sales jobs have one, because a sale only pays if the customer stays. The questions that matter are how long the window is, how the money comes back, and whether you can see it when it happens.
How RCLX handles it
A chargeback is never sent to you as a bill. If it is bigger than the check it lands on, the rest comes off the checks after it.
Every chargeback shows in your rep portal: the sale, the cycle it was earned in and the statement it came off.
Every rep gets a portal that shows their installs, their pipeline and a pay statement for every payday.
1099
What is a 1099 sales rep?
A 1099 sales rep is an independent contractor who sells for a company on commission, with no taxes taken out of their pay, and generally gets a Form 1099-NEC at year end instead of the W-2 an employee gets.
What it means day to day
You run your own day.
The company sets what you sell and what a sale pays. How and when you work is yours to decide.
Nothing is withheld.
No income tax, Social Security or Medicare comes out of your check, so set part of every check aside.
You pay self-employment tax.
That’s the Social Security and Medicare an employer would split with a W-2 employee. As a contractor you cover both halves.
You pay estimated taxes during the year.
The IRS expects quarterly payments from most contractors who will owe at tax time, and missing them can bring a penalty.
Your costs are yours, and many are deductible.
Track your mileage and keep your receipts. Business costs come off your taxable income.
No employee benefits.
No overtime, no employer health plan or retirement match, and usually no unemployment or workers’ comp.
That’s the basics, not tax advice. A tax professional can tell you what applies to you.
Reps work as 1099 independent contractors on 100% commission, earned on completed installs.
Where you sell decides the rest.
The agency sets what each sale pays, but the market sets how many sales you make. The growth report shows the cities where fiber-ready homes grew most between the last two FCC filings.
Open turf only pays at the right agency.
As a 1099 rep, the agency’s contract is your whole deal. Ask any agency these, and get the answers in writing.
1. Do you get your own turf?
RCLX’s answer: Every rep works exclusive turf, so two reps are never put on the same street.
2. How is the pay set up?
RCLX’s answer: Reps work as 1099 independent contractors on 100% commission, earned on completed installs.
3. When does the money land?
RCLX’s answer: Commission is paid on the payday RCLX is paid for the install.
4. What happens when a customer cancels?
RCLX’s answer: If a customer cancels within 120 days of the install, the commission on that one sale comes off your next check. After 120 days the install is locked and stays yours.
5. Can you see your own numbers?
RCLX’s answer: Every rep gets a portal that shows their installs, their pipeline and a pay statement for every payday.
