All payments to employees including commissions are considered like wages and should be subject to FICA taxes.
Although the commissions may be paid after employment has ceased, they were related to the employment itself and the employer should bear their share of FICA taxes. In most instances, the reason they are paid after employment has ceased is that their amount cannot be calculated at the time employment ceased.
