More details to this question:
I am a full time employee with 50% of my earnings as a base salary and 50% as commissions paid quarterly. I am due to go on Maternity leave in April and I will have several new key accounts in the pipeline that I have already begun working on. My boss is going to continue with those accounts while I'm out on leave.

I do not know the answer to your question. I suspect you are not entitled to commissions while on leave, but I do not know, and can not give you an answer upon which you may rely.

I would enter into a written agreement on how you are to get paid on those accounts while you're out on maternity leave.

I would have to see your commission contract, as the devil is always in the details.

You may have a claim to the commissions. It depends on your commission contract. If none, you may have a stronger claim, actually.
