I work at a company with an hourly + commission pay structure. On this job listing, they state that the hourly wage is $15-$20, and they state that they offer commission and bonuses. In my interview, I was told the starting wage was $12 + commission (first red flag) but would be eligible for wage review after my probationary period was over. For commission, we only make 3% of what we sell, however if everyone meets their goals, we get 5%. It’s still not enough to live on. Fast forward a few months in, and we are getting some serious hour cuts. I bring this up to management, and they tell me that I should be counting on my commission for my income and using my hourly for my “fun money” (2nd red flag — in this economy?) Recently, they have hired a few new people who have the same concerns as me regarding this false $15-$20/hour crap, and management has now told those who are concerned that the $15-$20/hour is factoring in the minimum you should be selling in a shift plus the $12/hr. I know this isn’t normal because I have never dealt with this before, and everyone I’ve told has said it’s not right either. Thoughts?
