How do I explain employment contract changes in my UK visa application?
How do I explain my salary: my previous salary changed from basic fixed plus incentives fixed, to basic fixed plus commission unfixed (which can be higher or lower each month). For the first month, I was paid in all cash. Now, after talking to HR and pressuring them, I get the basic amount in my bank account but commission can't be deposited as it's variable and so they give that to me in cash. What should I do?
I can, of course, get a salary letter stating this about the cash commission slips. Previously, I was refused for not explaining cash deposits and insufficient funds. How do I explain this change in my new application?

Break it down and explain it like you have done here. The main thing is to be completely clear and transparent about the funds in your account and where they come from to prevent any doubt. They will read the documentation, and you mentioned getting a letter confirming your payments from your employer, I agree this would only be beneficial to include as it will help to confirm the legitimacy of these funds.
If you choose to deposit the commission money each month, make sure to explain this and highlight those transactions to avoid any accusations of funds parking (this is where you put extra money into your account to make it seem like you have more money, read more about this here).
