I started working for a wireless agent Dec 17th. They pay out hourly at 7.50. The wireless corporation pays out commissions 2 months late, so the commissions I made in Dec I wont recieve until the check I get on Feb 10. In my state, the legal minimum wage standard is 7.75 per hr. Since I wont recieve any commission Ive made till Feb 10, and have worked essentially for less than minimum wage hourly for 2 months, shouldnt i be entitled to make 7.75 for those two months?
      Answer1:No this is a touchy subject because the company can not be held to your states hourly wage because they have to only go by there states hourly wage. You are not entitled to the extra money sad to say, but you are also getting paid commission so they dont have to really pay you up to date with hourly wage in there state if they can prove your commissions will cover the remainder of your hourly wage.
      Answer2:it depends on a few things. on whether or not the company is exempt from paying minimum wage. it depends on the state you are in. Also when you signed the employment contract you agreed to the pay.
