I work for a property management company as a leasing agent; this is my second go around with the company.
In my first round with them, I was paid my hourly rate plus $25 commission a lease for a year and a half. I quit last winter and was begged back 3 months later at a higher commission rate -$150 a lease-and a higher mileage rate.
Since I’ve been back, my commission has been tacked on to my last paycheck of the month, however this last pay period, I was paid two separate checks: one for my mileage and hourly, and one for my commission. My commission for the month was $600, of which after taxes i received around $300. I was too shocked by the change to do the math myself to see if there’s a big payout change, but I imagine so if I’m being taxed on the smaller amount?
Why the change? Am I being fucked or did they do this to help me?
For reference I’m in California.
