Question juridique clé
How should the contractual term 'capital de production' be interpreted for calculating variable commission?
Solution extraite
The term had to be understood as the production capital without deducting the 10% guarantee reserve, absent a clear contractual basis for such deduction.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal court relied on testimony showing only an internal practice, not a shared contractual understanding. The text of the commission table was unambiguous and did not mention the reserve. Objectively, the guarantee served a separate purpose and did not justify a systematic deduction from the employee's commission base.
