Hi everybody!
English is not my first language, so please be kind if the grammar is not 100%.
I recently got my first job in America, it’s not bad, but I don’t know if the commission is fair.
I have a base salary + 3% commission. We offer payment plans (not associated to any bank), and my commission depends on the client paying, so instead of getting the whole commission for the sale, I get only the percentage of what they pay, and If they stop paying the company, I lose whatever would be paid to me. When I got the job they only told me that I would get commission on all sales, so I planned my life counting that my salary would be a bit more than it is, specially because what I sell it’s on the expensive side.
At the same time that it feels fair, it feels odd. If I leave the company today, all my commission for the next months would be given to someone else.
Reddit, please help is that fair?
