If you pay your Employees commission based on the amount of business they perform you can set up a commission structure to help you track and calculate this.
In addition, if you rent out space to outside professionals who pay you a percentage commission based on the business they perform, you can also set this structure up as a reverse commission structure.
When you run the Employee Commission report it will use the Commission structure assigned to an Employee to automatically calculate the commission due.
