Nay, many jobs don’t do their work in game and a commission better pays them. For example, a prosecutor would make pennies for their labor on an in-game wage but makes a reasonable lawyer salary with the commission system.

They will still make commission. They will just get a wage as well

There is a level of wage specifically for when there is commission: "Level 5: $30/15min - A lesser rate where commissions are also present."

I believe the law needs to be more clear and explicit about this. I stand by my nay, but hope we can amend this into a serviceable bill.

A level 4 wage ($35/15 minutes) is the base rate of Government Employees. When there is a commission present, a level 5 wage may be used ($30/15 minutes).

There is no reason to have two levels of commission pay. All government workers should have a wage.
