--- Update ---

Im getting this error message

run:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - Erroneous tree type: Salesperson
at Commission1.main(Commission1.java:25)
Java Result: 1

What do you mean by Salesperson at the time of declaration of ArrayList. Is it a class that you have created or are you referring to the array of object that you have instantiated of type "Commision"?

You haven't defined the type Salesperson.
What was your intent for this line?

I think you need to change the type of the ArrayList to Commission, that should do.
