Ah, but look at what I might have done...

You're a salesman - right?  You get a basic salary and if you make a sale, you get commission on it. Perfectly common and straightforward arrangement.  But now you go on holiday.  While you're on holiday, you won't be making any sales, so you'll just get your basic salary - right?  Well no, apparently.  In what I find an unbelievable judgment, the European Court of Justice have ruled that you must be paid commission for "potential" sales whilst you are on holiday.  So they have to pay you for work you haven't - and indeed couldn't have - done.  Somebody's been at the funny pills again!
