I work at a job where they pay us a base pay per week plus commission. They say our base is based on 40 hours per week but if we fall under that, they pay us 5.15 an hour, minimum wage. But, if we go OVER 40 hours they base our overtime pay on our sales performance. There has been times where I've only gotten paid 4.00 an hour for overtime, plus they don't pay holiday pay, but claim we are "salaried" employees. Even on salary, don't you get paid time and a half for overtime and get holiday pay? I mean I AM working full time, 40 hours a week. It seems to me though, that we are NOT salary, because if we fall UNDER the 40 hours they drop our pay to a "per hour" rate. As it stands, I'm making 400.00 a week base. Can someone give me some info on this? Is this legal? And we have these days during the month where it's like "mandatory overtime" where we work from 9am to 9pm, and they still don't pay us time and a half for those hours, but MAKE us work the overtime. What do I do?
