Commissions paid after termination of employment

[card]

I have a plan that defines compensation to include commissions. Commissions, however, are often paid well after termination of employment (based on sales prior to termination). The employer would like to continue deferrals from these dollars, regardless of the length of time after termination, in order that affected employees do not lose the company match (I know, most would like to take exactly the opposite position...)

Can deferral elections continue after termination of employment if the amounts paid are earned prior to termination?

How do you handle recurring commissions after termination of employment?

Thanks-
